This forum is dying

I've never done Discord. How many looking for information would go out of their way and join Discord over a forum?
 
Does anyone know what this means?


"You will now find the user forum at /bbs on this website (sorry, a clickable link must be avoided). We are battling spam bots, web crawlers and the like that cause thousands of “guest users online” ultimately crippling our web server’s ability to do its job. Anti-spam and anti-bot measures have proven to be inadequate to battle this nuisance. The forum link will be updated within the software Help page going forward to reflect this and any further changes to the forum URL. Apologies for the inconvenience, but hopefully this will make the forum (and this website) more responsive for everyone using it."

This is for the official Blue Iris forum owned by the BI developer, which this forum is not.

I have been on Reddit for a while and they shut down subs all the time. Most likely if we had the same political chit chat in there the angry libs of Reddit would get it shut down. A honest substitute for this forum that is pretty solid is Discord. You can use it on the web or an app.

Shit. If the guys in here can’t navigate simple sites like Reddit, they will be more than lost using Discord.
 
I am a paying member... because the members of this site helped me out with Da Tire Slasher. Thought being a monthly subscribing member would contribute back into the general IPCT way of things.
Prior to terrorizing IPCT with my zainey questions all the time, I was a DIY & WoodWorker so was members of both LumberJocks.com and DIY.com (heck, even Gardening.com)... all under the same company. Antiquated forums, filled with bot spam. I left.
I see the entire webpage (at least for LumberJocks.com) has been totally revamped and spritzy as of today. I guess the owner sold and new folks sprinkled in magic internet dust and things look good again.
Just the way things go, sometimes.
