Been happening several times a day, site will not load, I come back later and often site loads fine. I’m using Safari on an iPad, and have not changed my internet settings.

Yeah. Just had that not 5 minutes ago. Seems to happen daily, although I personally haven't noticed a pattern to the timing of the events.

This is caused by an internal table oveflow when we get swamped by bots. IP blocks have been put in place to alleviate the problem but of course the bots eventually switch to new IPs. It is a struggle that has been affecting many forums, not just ours.

I see the cause is known; my question is about funding. How is this site funded? I've never seen a 'donate' page, etc., and I know web hosting costs money. Does the site owner(s) pay for the whole ride themselves? (if so, we owe them a debt of gratitude).

(mods: if this is confidential, don't answer here; just curiosity, on my part. Thx)

Maybe cloudflare can help?

Cloudflare will now, by default, block AI bots from crawling its clients’ websites

The company will also introduce a "pay-per-crawl" system to give users more fine-grained control over how AI companies can access their sites.
