    i.e. "Nice server you've got there, it'd be a shame if anything
    was to happen to it" :-/

    Unfortunately the novaBBS website has been non-functional for a couple
    of days now. I don't see anybody rushing to rescue it :-(


    What took it down?

    Yes, that works now. I had been trying https://www.novabbs.com
    which still seems to be flaky.


    Flaky is not good news.

    Interested. Can anyone nmap what is going on?

    I assume those are crawlers.

    An they consume much more resources that normal users.


    I see crawlers here. They cannot get in.

    Perhaps it's under attack by the so-called

    Who the hell are they?

    certainly brazen (textbook ad copy from troll farm's vast arsenal)
    attack . . . seems particularly cavalier in this nntp server-savvy
