DoS attack

STOP THE PRESS! A global forum has many times more members than a (predominantly) UK forum!

So MSE forums are a smaller player then.

PS - the formatting in your post is horrendous. (Spotted whilst quoting your post). Did you type in Word then copy/paste into the forum?

I never said larger sites don't use Cloudflare, I said Cloudflare is an option for smaller sites — as opposed to larger companies who may have the infrastructure to handle the DDoS internally. You could have a one page site with 10 views a month and still use Cloudflare but other than blocking IP addresses there isn't much extra you can do so you reply on your hosting company and services like Cloudflare.

Not that it has anything to do with the OP's question but the formatting is due to a vBulletin bug that adds extra line breaks in. If you're that bothered about it take it up with them.

Nothing to do with a vBulletin bug. Your first post has lots of COLOR=#1D2129 and FONT=&quot tags in it (with corresponding closing tags); your second post doesn't. (I tried quoting and using CODE tags, to show you what I mean, but the forum view is still interpreting the tags).

Merely an observation - I have no need or desire to take anything up with vBulletin.
