This morning we opened our email to multiple notices of attempted brute force attempts (most likely bots) from multiple IPs and countries. The security software did its job, the following Countries are currently on a temporary block until this issue passes:

China, Russia, Nigeria, Turkey, North Korea, Pakistan, India, Romania, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.

Safety of our members is a top priority. If there are questions, you can ask them on this thread or send an email to support@vibeforge.co and we'll respond as time permits.

Thank You.

We're happy to announce that our CDN integration is back online and performing well.

New content security feature added. When you post a link to any site that falls under the Adult, Disinformation, or Extremist categories users will be met with the box shown in the image. After clicking close, the offending URL will be removed and replaced with ‘[Blocked URL]’. Use of URL shorteners are blocked to protect users from malicious sites similar to what Gmail is now implementing, you will need to use the full url when posting links.

We know it’s not perfect but it helps us from becoming another Facebook, filled with content spamming and sites that violate our content policies.

Just in case you wonder where we stand ...

We've been busy going through code and setting it up to deny access to bots and scrapers, etc. We've not turned everything on yet, so if the site seems to be acting a bit strange, message us and let us know the details.

Thanks!
