@aburka@hachyderm.io @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org Maybe they automated the "save page now" feature? Because that is what I was using to periodically save updates at the forum I use. But I knew the server was limited so I would only save a few threads a day, when I had time. But now a cloudflare checkbox blocks it all. (blocking some users too in the process.) And I am told abuse of the Internet Archive is the primary reason.

@aburka@hachyderm.io If they've blocked the IA because of scraping, it's more likely for copyright reasons rather than server-load reasons. @5ciFiGirl@indieverse.social @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org

@aburka@hachyderm.io @5ciFiGirl@indieverse.social @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org An important question: were AI bots actually using the IA to scrape websites, or is that what someone thought was going on?
