Someone keeps DDoSing the forum every now and then, which is quite comical considering how dead this place is. No idea why they are even bothering.
If you notice the forum is slow or offline this is why. It is a hard one to mitigate as it comes from millions of unique IPs that blend in with regular traffic. I would put more effort into stopping this if this was an active forum but honestly not worth my time so will just wait it out, eventually they'll get bored.
If it doesn't stop I will convert forum to a static read only forum that will only really be kept around for historical sake.

Re: DDoS attacks
Normally not crazy about incorporating 3rd party services as it adds complexity but decided to setup Cloudflare.
That seems to have solved the issue for now.
