Hi David,
But that is part of what makes this situation so unique.
Fanfiction.net experienced a distributed denial-of-service attack.
Granted, I may be wrong, but that kind of flooding tends to take computer
bots, certainly scripted software.
However, instead of the individual right now, it is the download programs,
of which there are a few, that can bypass the captcha, reach the site
and get content.
Individuals would get the ads, but individuals are blocked. Programs like
caliber which has a fanfiction plug in, and fanfiction downloader which I
understand just gets stories, both letting you create a library? Their
developers can code past or hack past the door.
One would think it might work in reverse, computer programs being blocked,
but individuals getting through.

This is precisely the sort of reason a site would want to block you! Sites
are there to sell advertising, and the editorial is just a way of doing that.
