I'm glad that I validated as much as I could while the board was working. Seems to be slow again.

Having issues again. Unable to get on the main site.

I have had issues today as well. Feels like ages since we've had bot problems, can't even remember when I last had to activate the filtering before the last couple of days.

Yes, I'm having the same issues as Walter
walter.
It's taking forever when opening the pages, even after enabling bot filter. And only a few minutes available for the website.

Can’t on this morning. Waited a few minutes for thesite to load. Enabled bot filter and now I am getting 500 internal server errors.

I made some minor changes to slow a little the site for non logged in users, and disabled the stats page for these too (as it is quite heavy), that will already help a little for unidentified bots (until one creates an account...)
I'll try to also make a better filter for bots in the next days, but I can't do miracles

I added a bunch of the fake browser IDs to the list of bots, hoping among these there isn't one of a real browser
(well, some are, but old outdated versions, most likely).
But even with that, these are so aggressive that I don't know if the site can work without the bot filter when they are scraping it. Maybe for some like that I should add a permanent filter then, I'll try to do that in the next days. Hoping that they don't start using real current browser IDs (instead of some that are just similar).
If someone gets blocked because identified as a bot, please open https://ksle1.antp.be/user-agent.php and give the ID that is returned for your browser.
