I love those.

I can't get enough of the new Artemis.Images in videos.

All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Same here. I can't wait until they upload the whole mission's photos online.

I agree, the images are amazing.

Btw, I think I found one forum issue: some bots (alibaba being one) were pounding the server, 1000s of times per minute. I think that it should stop it from being overwhelmed now, but if you see an issue, let me know. Talk about abusive.

That might explain this message that's been showing up for a couple of months. Sometimes I just refresh the page and it comes back right away, sometimes it takes a few minutes, and sometimes it's over a hour. Screenshots below.

Hi,
I presume that is not today? And yes, it kept coming up. I kept blocking but then they kept using IPs. I have several defenses set up that should stop it dynamically. I hope. It would overwhelm it and then phpbb would stop new connections to stop it from happening which would then clear it up after a bit.

I haven't had any issues or seen that message here in a few days. I've mostly had issues occur when I'm here at night, but occasionally they happen during the day as well. That screenshot was from last month, every time there's a new error message that I haven't seen before I get a screenshot just in case I have to report the issue.
