Please, for the love of fuck, use something other than Cloudflare for DDoS protection

What's more is that some mobile devices are 100% incompatible with it rather than "just" failing 80% of the time.

Wat?

Cloudflare is complete shit

Agreed, but what's the alternative? Only 8kun is brave enough/needy enough to roll thier own DDOS protection.

The site was down down due to migrating servers or some shit.

    CF does it on a large scale (many servers around world) and I am pretty sure they have much, much more bandwidth and faster hw to fend off majority of attacks easily. On the other side is saidit - I think they have some cheap hosting/server, so you can't really expect to build their own infrastructure which isn't cheap at all (I am not that knowledgeable, but my guess would be few servers, some heavy duty switches/routers and tons of manhours to make it work, and then someone would have to watch over it constantly).
