I wonder if this thing is following the volume of logged on users.
If everyone logged out for a while would it stop?

Oops! That didn't go very well did it! Maybe it is automated to flood the place while there are fewer rather than more users online and active... All log in and post post post

All log in and post post post Personally I think it is unlikely to be a bot because there's no reason for a bot to target a forum with such a small user base and no obvious reason for a criminal organisation to target it with a DDoS attack. It's possibly a disgruntled former Thunderboat member or a CWDF member. ProBoards may pick up on it and if so this may not be good news for the person doing it... www.theverge.com/2018/12/10/18131024/ddos-attack-telescope-forum-cfaa-prison

I can see your reasoning here and I think I know who it is if it is human but it just seemed intriguing that it was only on this general boating section.
If it was direct human input surely you would just click across to other areas of the forum and flood the whole place.
It's basically a program with a human having regular input.

Odd how it stopped once the genuine posts started coming in again.
It was virtually every minute until quite recently.

I don't think any other poster for quite a while has posted anything that could upset pro boards have they? If it continues and we cannot find D9 perhaps it should be reported

That's what I was thinking but what is proboards' attitude to a forum where the admin has legged it? They might just decide to close it. The ad revenue can't be that good here. It does appear to be an ad supported forum and if it doesn't pay then the obvious answer is on a postcard

If it continues and we cannot find D9 perhaps it should be reported Several posts about C19, Blacklivesmatter, and personal attacks break Proboards rules - in my opinion - I'm not wanting to go into details though as it's just my opinion.
