Sorry about the shitty subject, but it’s an unfortunate reality.
Recently I receicved an email from someone claiming to be a “concerned user” of NaNoWrimo who has been threatening to out everyone whose accounts he can identify here on there because apparently me calling a NaNoWriMo staff. member out on their shitty treatment of their moderators didn’t go over very well.
Actually that’s putting it mildly as I have some very strong reasons to believe that the staff memember in question is in fact a member here based on an email I got that referenced something that was only eery mentioned in a section that is locked to membership required.
There is now an excessive amount of traffic being blocked by the front-end nginx reverse proxy. server. It’s the point that we are going to excessed our bandwidth limit for May at the rate things are going.
That said, I’m not a fan of the idea of locking this place down to require logins, but I will do that if necessary. However I’d much rathter find an alternative if at all possible.
Thoughts?
Also, since we are definitely going to exceed the bandwidth limit this month, any donations would be appreciated although we’re not at point where it’s actually necessary right now. If things stay consitent I’ll be able to cover the overage without too much of a dent to my finances.
