We were being hammered by an ill-behaved bot this morning, it was eating up all the available resources on the server. That’s why you may have seen “429” errors from the forum.

I’ve blocked the bot from accessing our site, so things should return to normal soon.

Aha! I thought maybe it was the Chinese “weather balloon.”

Thank you. Saw the 429 on a motorcycle site also.
