@CentralCommando I suspect Chinese hackers seeing what we play and what unimportant role China plays in A&A… and they are like „wtf? Just you wait and see what the great China is capable of!“

I imagine it a bit like this: (Seinfeld - Kramer) https://youtu.be/fzLtF_PxbYw?si=0QU6y-RCUB8fOsf3

„China is joke to you?!“

;-)

[CentralCommando]

@Elrood Not only that, it’s always the Kuomintang instead of the CCP. The CCP has never been in Axis & Allies before, and while there are good reasons for this, Chinese Bots consider this unforgivable.

;)

[Elrood]

@CentralCommando but coming to think of it… I could imagine some bot browsing for buzz words and then starting the attack automatically… like „China war casualties“ etc… China takes great effort to clean up its history like tiananmen etc.
might be a bit far fetched but technologywise it is plausible.

[CentralCommando]

@Elrood Very true, I wouldn’t put it past Winnie’s China to raid sites to keep certain events out of their narrative, even if the method is extremely flawed and invasive.

[Elrood]

@CentralCommando and now you added Poo to the buzz words! Will only be downhill from here!!! 😅😅

[CentralCommando]

@Elrood Oh nooooooooooooooooo!
These bots are going to have a field day! :((((((

It kinda feels like the site is faster today right?

I enabled Cloudflare so I think it’s working. Sorry Chinese AI bots, you don’t get to have A&A in your language models.

However, I think there are some issues with over-aggressive caching. Working on it.

I was seeing the yellow box in the lower right corner warning that “it looks like you’re not connected” or something like that.

I restarted a few things and it went away for me. I’m hoping that you all are also not seeing that error but if you are. Please let me know.

Also; the site really does seem faster, right?

[djensen]

Okay, this time for real. We’re running through Cloudflare now. Sticky sessions enabled so that your websocket sessions don’t switch servers and get all confused.

@djensen

Yea last few days have been fine for me.

Thank You

[Elrood]

@djensen dont want to jinx it, but it runs greatly!

[captainwalker]

@djensen I’ve been having all kinds of issues…some with Triple A errors and some with this site. Last night I kept getting logged out and on here… about ten times a minute.

[captainwalker]

@djensen errors like this when I try to open a game file…
An unexpected error occurred! YamlReader$InvalidYamlFormatException: Invalid yaml format: mapping values are not allowed here in reader, line 1, column 1661: … 4px}@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark){body{background-color:#2 … ^ ScannerException: mapping values are not allowed here in reader, line 1, column 1661: … 4px}@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark){body{background-color:#2 … ^

[Elrood]

Shit you are right!! :-(

[captainwalker]

@Elrood at least I know now that I’m not the only one having issues… I’ve been doing scans and updates trying to fix it

[Elrood]

@captainwalker i guess its time to go back to “play by email” and post it all manually in the forum.

I am guessing TripleA needs an update to fix it…

[djensen]

@captainwalker Yeah, last night I was working the problem and causing a few disruptions while doing it. Everything should be stable now and far fewer bots taking up resources.

[djensen]

@captainwalker Okay, that’s weird. Let me look today.

[captainwalker]

@djensen thanks… I appreciate all you do here

[Elrood]

@captainwalker seconded!
