Captcha

Captcha was supposed to be added temporarily according to [1]. Was it entirely removed? If so, when? --Potpotkettle (talk) 11:04, 10 October 2023 (UTC)


Links from the AO3 talk page

On Talk:Archive of Our Own, Ellakbhesse and JadedPrism collected a bunch of links before I made this page.So porting them over here:

The AO3 crashed today due to instability problems, behold, friends inform me about a tweet that addresses issues that the site may be suffering a DDOS attack -- Ellakbhesse (talk) 23:45, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

JadedPrism someone really should create a page about this incident. There were two days of instabilities due to the DDOS attack, hacking groups taking the blame, anti-mulism from some parties, discussions about ao3 abstinence and people saying about the dangers of attacks like this giving voice to people who are against the site (including political actions, I read about this briefly on Twitter). I'll leave some more links here later. May be useful in the future -- Ellakbhesse (talk) 20:21, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
