Double posting and edit latency still persist.

It is a shame this content was never migrated to a newer platform. Newer forums are easier to use.

Somewhere there is a server, probably SQL, that contains buckets for the post, member lists, advertisements and etc that get thrown together as pages are requested.
With permitted access and some knowledgeable Python coding, it should be possible to extract each members posting history. I'm sure it's already been done with tax payer's money.
I've always wanted to be able to extract my complete corpus, to train a LLM on.

It's still slow at times. (Like right now.)
I have a message in to the server admin!
PS: I'm not nearly as good looking as the AI search assistant thinks I am  |

Admin says the server is being periodocally hammered by an army of AI bots that are repeatedly scaping the forum. (Because it's a genuinely valuable source of human intelligence to add to LLMs, not AI slop.)
The bots are not respecting our robots.txt exclusions, are sometimes using different IP addresses for every single page request, and are lying about their user-agent.
All of which makes it very difficult to filter out the traffic.
Add to this: our ad revenue is declining significantly, because search engines' AI summaries of our content mean that human guests aren't clicking through to the site as often and looking around.
We could block access to the site to registered members only, but that would hurt our SEO, which would lead to even lower traffic and less ad revenue!
Brave new world.
Talking to the server admin about options. It's affecting multiple clients, so they're actively working on it.
