Voyager suddenly stopped working with SJW today. The last time this happened, it was because SJW needed an update of some sort. Is that the case this time too?

    Hey @westingham

    Thanks for starting a post about this.

    Our traffic today jumped 4x our previous daily high. I had to enable some extra protection to give the server some breathing room to recover. One of the side effects is the mobile apps are temporarily unavailable until I get everything tweaked. It will be back in a few days. The good news is that I already got my hands on a newer more powerful server that will be going into production in the next few weeks.

    For the next few days if you want to scroll the site you will need to use your mobile browser. I understand its totally not the same experience as voyager but I promise you i’ll get everything back up as it was as soon as I can.

    Thanks for your trust and patience!

    Edit: Access via the mobile app Voyager has been reinstated.

      Yeah, and it took me more than a minute to get through cloudflare on my desktop… bot traffic is crazy. AI bubble can’t pop soon enough.

        I host an old forum with a lot of posts. Back in its heyday it used to consume about 70GB/month total traffic, including images etc.

        Now its basically a dead repository and the bots consume 500GB/month of JUST TEXT.

        These people are leeches of the highest order. I wish them the worst.
