Came to DaniWeb and was put in a Cloudfare waiting room que. Never experienced that before.

"Your estimated wait time is 1 minute.
We are experiencing a high volume of traffic and using a virtual queue to limit the amount of users on the website at the same time. This will ensure you have the best possible online experience.

Hello,

Sorry about that. We are actively being DDOS'ed, and the waiting room is a FIFO-based queue Cloudflare feature that keeps our servers from getting hit too hard. Unfortunately, it requires an Enterprise-level Cloudflare account (which I can't afford at the moment) in order to customize it and for it to only put bots into the waiting room queue instead of everyone.

commented: No need to apologize; I just haven’t seen that before and was curious whether it was them or you. Hope you're doing well. +0
