LOL.

We've been getting hit by bots and foreign traffic again lately.

It was quiet for a while, but they are back again. If the pattern holds, they will move along in a couple of days.

Not as many lately, but it’s hard to know where they are originating from. We just see the last server before they get to us.

Unfortunately, it’s a bigger problem than we’re going to be able to take care of with our current resources.

I'd like to say I have an idea for something in the future, but I don't have the resources to put it together yet. I used to help run some forums in the past, I could probably do it again with a new one, but as said, nothing to get it started yet.

EDIT: and yes, it would include a political forum.

I haven't run into issues.
I'll keep my eyes open.

A couple of weeks ago we had been getting hit by a ton of foreign traffic, but the last week or so it's been closer to average.

At least eight songs have "503" in the title – but none of them refer to the 503 error message.

503 – Dropout Kings (2018, the area code)
503 – Marduk (2015, the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion)
503 – OFF! (2012, a hospital room number)
503 – Geek Music (2018, a room number in The DaVinci Code)
503 – Hans Zimmer (2009, a room number in The DaVinci Code)
Hello 503 – Shape Of The Rain (1969, see below)
In The 503 – Lyberty/Kirko Bangz (2024, the area code)
Room 503 – Dusty Marcus/Shaine Derrick (2024, the site of a rendezvous)

Hello 503 refers to the depersonalization and robotification of humans in the age of technology. Charles Schulz acknowledged this depersonalization in 1963 by including a boy named 5 (short for 555) and his sisters 3 and 4 in several Peanuts strips. Their last name, 95472, is actually the ZIP Code for Sebastopol, the California city where Schulz lived.
