Seeing what appears to be a distributed scrape or AZ coming from multiple network from multiple overseas locations. From what I can tell predominantly bon English speaking countries.

I’ve had to be pretty heavy handed with the catpcha challenges for those countries for now. It seems to have helped, will keep an eye on things. Hopefully not too much collateral damage to legitimate users…

    It looks like I’m leaving. I’m in Singapore and the site is almost unusable. Thanks for a great 2 years. It’s been a pleasure.

      I’m still working to relax the restrictions… unfortunately it’s very difficult to differentiate legitimate users traffic from the bots.

      Dang, perhaps time to start singapore.zone? (I jest, it’s unfortunate that a few bad actors ruin it for everyone)
