I will likely be installing Cloudflare soon

Hi all,
As some of you have noticed, and others contacted me about, the message boards have been extremely slow and/or not loading at different times.
It seems since I've dared to try to keep things simple, there are tons of bots scouring the boards and gumming up the works (thanks so much!). I am going to install Cloudflare protection on my entire site.
This will mean, at least for a little while, probably having to click a button to prove you're a person before entering. I will try to avoid having any annoying captcha pictures or puzzles, but we'll see what I can set up.
Sorry to have to go to this measure, but to protect the site, the boards and everyone here, it's probably the best thing to do.
If anyone else has any alternate suggestions, please PM me. Otherwise, I will look to have the protection up and running as soon as I can.
