Cloudflare's utility is in preventing DDoS, or distributed denial of service, attacks. Without Cloudflare, if someone decided they didn't like this site (and many don't) they could flood the web site with so much traffic the site will crash or grind to a halt. Anyone with the means and wherewithal could shut us down whenever they felt like it.
This is being done to Kiwi Farms forum right now, they got kicked off Cloudflare so that the transgender advocates can try to DDoS it to death. It's still up but the Russian version of Cloudflare gave up after 24hrs and now there on some janky Chinese one.

Is it not ironic that the service that supposedly should prevent downtime (from DDOS) actually caused downtime (they said because of an expired SSL certificate)?
