Hello everyone,
In case anyone is struggling to access the Grouvee main site, a current Cloudflare outage is disrupting access. Hopefully this will be resolved soon and access restored shortly.

I was just about to message you to see if you knew what was going on. Thanks for beating me to it.

I could change the DNS settings on the site to not go through Cloudflare, but it would be a huge pain in the ass. I’m going to wait it out a little bit to see how long it lasts. If it’s still screwed up in a few hours I’ll switch it up.
I don’t like using Cloudflare all that much, but I have to these days. On 11/11 the site supposedly had 67,393 unique visitors. A normal Grouvee day is like 1500. There wasn’t some crazy spike in pageviews though, it was just weird empty requests hitting the site and causing Google Analytics to fire. Turns out that around 60,000 of those visitors were from China and about 5,000 from Singapore. There are almost 0 real users from either of those countries on Grouvee. Cloudflare makes it really easy to block certain geo regions and get things under control. So China and Singapore are blocked for a couple weeks until these weird bots disappear, and I’ll unblock them.

Grouvee is back! Woohoo!
Grouvee is down again! Whomp whomp!
Hasn’t gone down for me, no access issues in the last hour since it came back up. I’ll monitor and if it comes back I’ll re-pin the topic.

It was down again for maybe five minutes. I squawked too early. It’s fine now.
