I'm glad Robert has been able to keep this place going for 20 years or 20+ years at this point and kept it free for us. Hope he's doing well.
They really need to put a lock on who gets in for membership, like some make you wait a few hours and even then, only allow you to post in select parts of the forum.

Eh, whatever. It’s not like they’re hurting for money. There’s Hent.com right on every page selling parts. DIYGK doesn’t even have that. The only “merchandise“ ever associated with this place was GRATIS (The orange and blue logo stickers).

I think one thing that does this forum out, is that we can host pictures on here, and not have to worry about 3rd parties nuking them...(looking at you Photobucket), effectively destroying years of build threads.

Alright, maybe OMB is cracking down and limiting the freeloaders like me. Anyone else get this message? 
Twice now, I have had this message. Almost sounds personal! I think it’s because OMB gets a lot of traffic and it may be bogging the site. I’ve seen it up to 30K “people” viewing the site over there at any one time.
"Since lots of requests in a short period of time can overload a website, Cloudflare lets a site owner monitor and control your bandwidth consumption.
You can limit the impact of high-volume traffic by setting up a “rate-limiting” rule on a per-IP address or domain basis through the Cloudflare rate-limiting feature in your website owner settings. With rate limiting, Cloudflare can automatically block traffic from a suspicious site visitor or IP address so that hackers, spammers, and other online pests are can’t bog down your site’s performance with DDoS attacks and other illicit activities."
