Yes, thank you. I agree, it's not ideal to block all of the bots, since they help to increase access to this forum's content, but the forum host and
members also shouldn't be paying to support the bandwidth either.

I have the exact same experience with the servers I host. Its mainly AI bot scraping traffic. 'Naked' webservers with modest amounts of resources are
just not plausible anymore. The amount of garbage traffic is sometimes more than 80% of all incoming traffic!

The amount of AI scraping traffic is crazy. My websites that I host on my server are pretty niche and used to only get 40-100 hits a month and now
they routinely get 1000+.
