I think that what it is is that imgur added a new very restrictive per-IP limit on image downloads. So all ip.bitcointalk.org requests are blocked, but even many Tor exit nodes are being blocked, for example.
I'm not going to attempt to play some cat-and-mouse game with imgur, so people will just have to use a different service such as TalkImg.

Added, thanks! The only sensible counterargument I can think of is: "Why not just copy/paste U+00A0, when you need a non-breaking space?".
That was my thinking originally. But because SMF automatically translates multiple spaces (like this) into an alternating sequence of regular spaces and non-breaking spaces in the preparsing step, any intentional usage of non-breaking space characters tends to get messed up, as you mentioned. So when SMF's automatic preparsing-level usage of non-breaking spaces doesn't do what you want, this new tag will be useful. |

Congrats! How long did it take you? I estimated that it'd take an hour or two to reverse engineer, and honestly I didn't expect anyone to go to the trouble in the 24 hours available. I'm glad it was interesting enough to somebody that I was proven wrong here!

April fools! Thanks to PowerGlove for creating this cool game. I was really impressed that he was able to create it from scratch in less than a month with no dependencies and in only about 21kB. Thanks also to the mods who helped test it. Here are the "high scores", though keep in mind that there were cheaters. karmamiu performed the best on every metric, and it doesn't look to me like he cheated. |

I disabled the "new replies since you started writing" error globally. (In ordinary times, you can disable this in your settings, BTW.)

In order to reduce the number the low-value posts, I had PowerGlove design a state-of-the-art, AI-enhanced CAPTCHA which will identify all low-IQ people. You'll have to complete the CAPTCHA before posting. You can adjust the CAPTCHA's size with the +/- buttons in the upper left and right. If you post without solving it properly at first, you can go back and edit your post to try again. The CAPTCHA gets more difficult in more active topics, and it gets more difficult the more you post. If you experience poor performance, typing " \" changes a setting which may improve it. Right now the CAPTCHA is in beta testing, so it only shows a warning banner for likely spammers, but in 2 weeks everyone who fails the CAPTCHA will be immediately banned, so you'd better get used to it! |

My vote goes to: nioctib_100 Thanks for doing this contest, RickDeckard! There were a lot of great submissions. nioctib_100 had the best-looking final result IMO. I love the way the letters seem to be emerging chaotically out of the apples, but yet you can still read them in the photo. Dickiy, puloweh555, loopes, and Helena Yu also had fantastic-looking pies. The most interesting recipe was Betwrong's. That's a pie I'd like to try making sometime. |

That quote predates the introduction of flags, and is no longer generally accurate. However, negative trust ratings created before the introduction of flags are "grandfathered in", and can generate a flag-like-warning, as a special case. - If the number of pre-flags-system negative trust ratings is greater than the number of all positive trust ratings, a warning banner is shown for guests & low-login-time newbies.
In other words, this type of warning can be eliminated if the grandfathered-in negative ratings are deleted, or if new positive ratings are created to offset them, or some combination of the two. |

Congrats to the other winners! I'm touched that so many people went out of their way to vote for me. I decline any prize. Please reassign it to someone else, donate the value to Evidence Action, or keep it. Thanks for organizing this, icopress! |

Has anything changed on the topic of DDoS protection? Maybe new, better options? Cheaper, easier to set up?
Not really. I don't know of any better solution which wouldn't require a lot of manual work to keep it working. Cloudflare actually isn't even very good at identifying bad traffic or delivering on several of its claimed features, but it offers two extremely valuable tools: 1. It completely blocks even massive IP/UDP/TCP flooding without any thought on the end-user's part. My custom DDoS protection was also able to block these attacks, but it required a significant amount of sysadmin work. 2. My custom protection failed against layer-7 attacks from 100k+ IPs. To handle these attacks, there needs to be some sort of proof-of-work/CAPTCHA challenge before the application starts making database queries and such. These challenges must exist on servers which will automatically scale to handle any number of requests, as needed. The challenge servers must have the HTTPS key in order to function. It would definitely be possible to do this without something like Cloudflare, and I've posted a general description of how it could be done, but both the coding and sysadmin work are more than I want to deal with. Cost is a consideration, but not the primary one: I'd consider paying 10-30x more than Cloudflare's $250/mo, if this came with significant improvements. But as far as I know, you don't actually get much more by paying an "enterprise" DDoS protection company $5000/mo than you do by paying Cloudflare $250/mo, and in fact you often seem to get less. |

In the past 30 days, there have been 397 super-bumps from 57 distinct users contributing 11355 bump-power. Over the same period, the total bump-power from both mini-bumps and super-bumps was 88127. That's 12.88% Super bumps. In the past 365 days, there have been 8850 super-bumps from 308 distinct users contributing 222971 bump-power. Over the same period, the total bump-power from both mini-bumps and super-bumps was 1041245. That's 22.41% Super bumps. Thanks for sharing statistics. The results surprised me, I would have expected the Super bumps to contribute more than the Mini bumps. After reading your post, I realized that the stats I gave were highly misleading because mini-bumps occur (and super-bumps are possible by playing with URLs) across the entire forum, but they only have practical effect on certain boards, and the stats I gave previously were global. Restricting it to only the boards where modified-bump-ordering is default, it's: 30 days: 12901 super bump-power out of 13492 total bump-power 365 days: 220802 super bump-power out of 232874 total bump-power |

Can you share some statistics on how often the Super bumps are used?
In the past 30 days, there have been 397 super-bumps from 57 distinct users contributing 11355 bump-power. Over the same period, the total bump-power from both mini-bumps and super-bumps was 88127. In the past 365 days, there have been 8850 super-bumps from 308 distinct users contributing 222971 bump-power. Over the same period, the total bump-power from both mini-bumps and super-bumps was 1041245. |

the single mention right at the end of the post reads (to the uninitiated) like "FTX contagion" is a general concept and not a specific incident. Other than that nitpick, looks good to me!
Good point, edited. Thanks. |
