We have been seeing an unusually high number of requests for Geekzone pages. We will continue to work on this.

 

If you see a message about testing your browser, this is normal.

Thanks. I just wanted to know what was going on. This seems to be happening a lot in New Zealand at the moment. One wonders what the bad guys are after. It can't be simple ransom. Are they testing our defenses?

The it will take up to 5 seconds notice is a bit out. It took over a minute to allow my browser to continue. I guess the requests are wading through treacle right now.  




Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

This check is now lifted - unless we see something happening again.

Must be back on again. I just had to do a captcha check before posting.
