verify you're human

[jarmstrong]

what gives , here on airgun nation, I keep getting notice from my computer to verify that I am human,
oxymoron kind of thing , a machine forcing me to verify my humanness
why just this web site and not any other?

Something happened, I got bad gateway for awhile this morning. Now seems like I'm also not human too.

 

[Peashooter]

I shoot airguns therefore i am both existing and human.

But yeah there have been a hickup, i have momentary had some cloudflare stuff going getting on here, not soothing that demanded any interaction from me.

 

[WorriedMan]

Quick check in mirror verified I'm still human. WM

 

[ChickenDumpling]

I'm looking more and more like Shrek so maybe a human test isn't a bad idea once and awhile.

I’ve been getting the Cloud Flare messages all day today. Earlier I couldn’t even access the site due to a Cloud Flare host error.

 

[cmatera]

I'm getting it too

oh no... the horror....

the horror

Apocalypse now aired last week, saw Full metal jacket a few days ago, and tonight they air Platoon.

Double feel good for Denmark these days.

Soon the day the yanks rolled up here form Germany to clean up.
And also about the same date where we cleaned up after the Americans in Vietnam.

In May 1975 Clara Maersk picked up +3000 Vietnamese refuges on a dead in the water leaking ship.
In total Danish ships picked up over 7000 Vietnamese, some of the finest people that ever come to our little country.

At least for me a feel good moment, even if i fully know that today you do NOT find Danish officers or sailors in Danish ships.
At least not classy guys like back then.

I've been having this too, plus other Internet issues..I think updates and unfortunately they have been changing how stuff works, so now old stupid me is having a hard time.. I couldn't even place my order with pyramid air, actually to be fair I personally talked with Tyler Patner about something and he said he had it, said he put the order together with my email address, I found it, but I couldn't find out how to pay for it and complete the order.. so I'll call this morning and get one of those wonderful people to help me with my computer illiteracy..

My banking app is being weird too!
Maybe China paying us back for tariffs.

There's a flaw in the system!
I was verified as human despite my proven inhumanity.

Just my 2 scents

I hope the Airgun Nation moderators sound in to confirm this was something they've done on their end. If not, and their server has been compromised by hackers, it's possible the human verification process is bait, and users that click on the verify button could potentially download malicious code and not know it.

Many sites use that type of verification. It prevents bot web-crawlers from consuming site resources. I really don't see it as a problem.

Cheers,

It's not an issue except I can't get to the site on my laptop, only with my phone. Windows works stupidly on my laptop so it may be the issue but one finger typing gets old quick.
