Comment on February 2026 Newsletter, Volume 208

  1. Cloudflare is notorious for not being the best of services: a forum I use used to have Cloudflare but my God, it was absolute bootycheeks.

    As for Wattpad and FF.Net, they've been having bots for as long as I've been doing fanfic. That's not new. Discord also has had bot trouble for years, but that's to be expected with their shady practices as of late.

    I haven't heard of the other sites, so I can't give a thought on those. I wish I knew other fanfic sites but meh. Tumblr and Dreamwidth are really the only other places, but even Tumblr has bot issues.

    This is just what happens when, as you said, these sites get massive traffic. A shame.
