As it is today, if this amount of silence and sloth keeps up, history will repeat itself. Even when things get better, that’s assuming they do, it will get a lot worse before that outcome is true. P.S. - I can’t enter these forsaken forums on any device of mine without pausing my connection to a VPN. Thanks for nothing, Cloudflare!

MushuMixLipa Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Lack of communication is the frustration here with a lot of us. I can trust cloudflare. Bots or not.. you should NOT be having a verification check every second page even with caching issues. This is rediculous now, the entire reason PST.org is dead is because the singular dev behind the site didn't get help or communicate with the users. I'm a software engineer/network engineer myself and know what stress that can be even with a team, but this is beyond now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kindajustin Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 On phone it's pretty unusable for me. Between Cloudflare verifying my humanity multiple times in a row and the ads (I usually just browse this site signed out on mobile) being strategically placed in front of places I'm most likely to click, I'm constantly making mistakes that cost me like 2-3 minutes of undoing and I just don't check this site for very long from my phone. It's more usable on PC between my premium status, adblockers, and Cloudflare actually letting me in. The site is even slower than it was a couple months ago and pages fail to load with a bad gateway error or a solid white screen fairly often, but it does work eventually if you're big on the "it could be worse" mindset. I'm confident this issue will be addressed and fixed just as fast as the issue regarding TSW2's DLC trophies breaking accounts was fixed... haha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly Soup Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) It's not just this site for me. I've been having the cloudflare security pop up on random sites repeatedly over the last few months. Since the kiwifarms thing last year it's been happening more and more. There are a couple older forums that are nearly unusable from the constant interruptions. Edited June 27, 2023 by Jelly Soup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittens Are Awesome Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I can't use this site's forums in desktop mode on mobile at all. No matter the browser, I get stuck in the cloudflare loop. It won't even let me check the box or do a puzzle or a handstand or anything. I have to switch to mobile mode just to get past the loop, and even then, I get it every time I minimize the page to do something else. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note 21 Ultra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viech54 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The issue seems to be getting worse. It's no longer just the Cloudflare problem for me, quite a few guides no longer show images that still had them a few days ago. This one for example: https://psnprofiles.com/guide/12910-life-is-strange-true-colors-trophy-guide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get this on SteamDB a fair bit as well, though not as much lately. Also, I've had 6 CloudFlare connection checks in 5 minutes, just browsing through my notifications on PSNP .

GravityQueeen Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I use Chrome, the cloudflare automatically checks a dozen times everyday, never seen the blocks, though, it is just an automatic verify that lasts 4 or 5 seconds, it happens either when using cellphone with Android or laptop. It bothers me because I use the site too often. Edited June 23, 2023 by GravityQueeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuelito Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I can't even log in the forum from PC. I keep getting this error: "This challenge page was accidentally cached by an intermediary and is no longer available." Any solutions?

MidnightDragon Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 I hope this gets fixed before the site completely collapses. Other than that, not commenting on this matter any further. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sly Ripper Posted June 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2023 Forum performance is really poor, when the cloudflare check is disabled the server gets overloaded. The forums will get a large update soon but because of the tight integration with the main site there's a lot of code that needs rewriting. I'm working on it. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forums performance has been an issue for nearly 2yrs! If it wasn't for people seeing the Cloudflare check I doubt anything would ever be done. Or so I was told by someone.. Not sure why the servers get overloaded, there's no increase in number of users I can see? And the user online numbers are always very low, for instance about 600 online now. So I'm not sure what is overloading the servers? All the Shovelware maybe? I would've thought all that would be needed is a server upgrade?
