    Switched to Cloudflare DNS - if anything breaks, please let me know

    Hi all
    Slightly techy post, but for the last few months, we've been getting more hits to the server from China than anything else. There is zero engagement time, so it's clearly bots.
    I've switched the DNS to Cloudflare so that I can deploy a challenge (it will still let real people through), without having to burden the server with ip blocks which will just slow the server down.
    In theory, it should work fine, but if you spot anything newly weird, please let me know, here, or in the bug thread.

        People in the UK spend an average of 6.5 minutes browsing the site per session.

        6000 individual engaged users visited in the last 30 days (after removing zero engagement bot visits).

        Gaming discussion is the most popular forum.

        The "post any time you get anything retro" is the most popular gaming thread, although weirdly, the football season thread is the most popular thread

          Interesting.. You just need to know how to monetise this data now. I expect ads for hearing aids and prostate check-ups any day soon
