• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Global cloudflare down

Everything except Ao3 is up for me now, tough that one says it's broken in Amsterdam.
 
QQ was down for me for a couple minutes but now its back again
 
SB is once again down for me but strangely not SV considering both use Cloudflare LA.
 
It goes in and out.

The Technical Picture:
Cloudflare reported "widespread 500 errors" affecting both its dashboard and API. According to a company spokesperson, "We saw a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare's services beginning at 1120 UTC."​
The most concerning part? "We do not yet know the cause of the spike in unusual traffic," Cloudflare stated.​
The Ironic Twist:
Even Downdetector—the site millions turn to when checking if services are down—was knocked offline because it also relies on Cloudflare's infrastructure. This perfectly illustrates how centralized our modern internet has become.​
