Cloudflare issues
By: flipmode Date: February 7, 2026, 5:24 pm

If anyone is experiencing Cloudflare/SSL handshake failed errors
when trying to access RTR, please note this is an issue with the
host, Create a Forum, being inundated with DDOS/bot attacks.
They have enabled an antibot mitigation feature which appears to
have improved the forum stability, but some of these errors may
remain for some users, while Create a Forum work through their
issues.

For additional context, the fix was implemented approximately
six hours ago, so we should now begin to see improvements in
both performance and stability.
If anyone continues to experience issues after the fix was
applied, please let either myself or Gayle know. I will escalate
any ongoing problems with the site hosts as needed.
