I have a question. Why alliedmods is so hard-protected ? I mean, sometimes pages don't load or , partially loading with missing images, or i'm getting apache STU error while i'm trying just to post something or load a page (no any abuse or f5 flood).
I see a strong cloudfare protection and i'm asking myself why someone would ddos this site?

It's just a forum where people help each other in scripting, it's not kinda NASA Secret Information or something to be looked for. Can someone explain why people are trying to ddos this forum?

Because trolls are trying to crash the server with DDOS/hack the server.

Captain Obvious,

We don't know why you are doing the things you are doing, because you didn't tell us why you are doing it.

So go out and find the attackers, and then ask them why they do what they do, because they are the only ones who know the answer to your "why" question.

Ya it's not that, I think they implemented Cloudfare thing back in 2014 after they had an NTP amplifaction attack.

And do you think it is something bad? Alliedmodders is the best community, but it isn't the only one. There are more communities that probably support it. So if you want it, go for them.
One of the things that make this community the best is it's rules, and the rule about non-steam support is one of the best.

By the way, you must remember that dproto is used for illegal proposes and nothing else. People that played CS non-steam had no problems creating a steam account and buy CS:GO, why not buy 1.6? That's disrespectful.
