RootsChat Offline?

[Jack01]

Hi,

Is anybody experiencing problems with accessing RootsChat? I have been unable to access the site for this past week, and I am wondering if this problem has been affecting other people. I recall that a couple months ago, this problem also occurred.

If anybody knows anything or is experiencing problems, please say.

Just tried - can't connect, it's a cloudflare (?) problem according to my searches.

Yes, that's the same thing that happened to me.
I wonder what's up with it?
Anyway, I hope it gets sorted soon.

Cloudflare is also causing problems on GR, a very slow verification page has appeared on there in the last few days, although you do eventually get into the site.

I tried a couple different browsers and timed out both times, so I guess it's not that! More likely some broader security issues they're fending off that's making them too slow to respond. Apple has just released software updates addressing a number of vulnerabilities, so I darkly suspect there's something unlovely going on (again!) out there in cyberspace.

AI bot scraping again, tens of thousands of machines overwhelmed the server and crashed it twice last week.
