When did HF Underground start requiring being logged in to read the forums?

Maybe its just me but it won't let access the forums without logging in!

When we're under attack by bots, we have to disable guest access.  Otherwise the forum becomes unusable when there's over 10,000 bots using it at once.

Im sorry this is happening here also Chris..

For the longest time they werent hitting my friend SKIPs site (www.hipforums.com/forum) but a few weeks they started on him also.. (I thought we were lucky there and they didnt know of his site)

He also blocks guest access if the traffic is high...

These stupid AI bots are causing problems for everyone and its disgusting!!

Im sorry your having to deal with ths!!
