Hot Topic Strange Things

[Jeff Westover]

I'm delaying our planned site maintenance for this weekend out of an abundance of caution. There are just too many strange things going on.

We have seen a big uptick in bot and hack activity these past several weeks. Just the last few days it has gone off the charts.

I personally have not seen or experienced site issues - things like the site being slow or unresponsive. Have any of you? If you have , please take a moment to DM me any details you can share of what the problems have been.

I wish I understood what in the world is going on or why, but I feel these are issues not aimed at us but that we are nevertheless subject to just because we're online. I am monitoring it and if things get weirder I'll just shut it down for however long I need to in order to preserve things. I hope it doesn't come to that.

But honestly, with all the wild rumors of doomsday scenarios floating around coupled with the strange things I can quantify by the server activity I'm seeing, I WILL shut it down until whatever this is blows over.

Please keep yourselves safe and if you see something here I need to be concerned with please reach out.

Thanks.
