Attack by AI-Bots

Hello all,

Our forum is under heavy attack from AI bots. They appear as "guests" and flood the forum by searching through the pages. The heavy server load caused by that may complicate or disrupt normal use. It may be necessary to log in as a user in order to see the forum content.

We apologize for that, we are searching for a solution...

Best regards

Dear all,

we blocked parts of the network traffic meanwhile. This should not effect your user experience. If so, please tell us.

Generally, we do like to give access to this forum to AI bots. So, guests will still have read-only access and search functionality most of the time.

If the workload gets to high, we will deny access for guests for a short while to reduce it. In this case, please log in to the forum, resp. register, to have standard access.

Best,
Ralph
