I am truly grateful for what you are doing for the community and sorry if my earlier message seemed a little demanding to you. It’s just that I become restless whenever I have to deal with something like this, so please forgive me if I seem rude to you.
Besides that, I think there’s something wrong with the cog forum itself, as just now I have faced several errors while trying to navigate and edit/create messages in my thread, so maybe both the forum and your site are getting attacked at the same time.
This is all I wanted to say, and also thank you for the quick response…this puts me at ease.
No problem. I’m frustrated as well. I’m getting hit from multiple IPs repeatedly. I don’t really want to block an entire country, but I’m about to block three of them if I can’t find another way out of this.

Whatever it is that you did does seem to have fixed my ability to access the site without needing to turn my VPN off at least, which is great. (Or at least I assume it’s what did it, since I haven’t changed anything on my end that I can imagine might have affected it and am now able to access the site normally at least for now).
I’m curious as to what could be the motivation for this attack. Is it some sort of ransom plan or is it due to some sort of personal grudge/motivation? Is it normal for this type of thing to happen to the site?
So I tried accessing the edit page again, and it’s working now.
Unfortunately it continues to be an issue on mobile (safari for iPhone) as Firefox mobile hasn’t been able to access cogdemos.ink without persistent errors for months.

Are you sure it’s not jus int your end? Just tested it on my android and Firefox seemed fine.
Unclear. The issue used to be that I’d get 3 error messages that I’d have to click through every time I ‘turned a page’ (no clearing the cache as was recommended did not help). Now cogdemos.ink is completely inaccessible on mobile with Firefox due to humanity verification loop (not using a VPN does not help).
Update: Found a way that lets me bypass the humanity verification error, if I open a link directly from the COG forums to a demo I don’t have to go through cloudflare. The error box pop ups are still an issue though, I know people have said clearing your cache fixes it but it doesn’t on iPhone and I got the same errors even when accessing cogdemos.ink from a brand new device.
Just wanted to let you know this is being worked on–I tested using Firefox on my iPhone and am having the same problem (it’s really annoying). I typically use Brave browser for everything, so I had never noticed.
Hopefully, we can get the fix in soon. I’m also trying to test a code change in how the games are served that should speed up the site more. I just haven’t had much of a chance to test due to a kitchen renovation, new carpet install, and an extremely busy time at work of late. Things should be calming down next week, and I found my local test machine, so I can test the changes.

Hey! Looks like I’m running into an issue. I’m trying to get a demo to go to Patreon only. However when I do it says “The campaign id field is required.”
And it isn’t showing my Patreon in the field.
My Patreon is connected to cogdemos.ink too
So I’m unable to set anything to Patreon only. I figured this might be because I didn’t “merge” my Patreon creator/member profiles, since Patreon’s pushing for that. So I merged them, still nothing. I disconnected my Patreon and reconnected it, still nothing. I tried on different browsers, on my phone, and on my laptop.
I have another demo that is still connected to Patreon.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Hi! Are you on moody or cogdemos?
Okay, give me a few minutes to look at it. I made a change earlier due to a problem with “edit game details” (it was the Patreon API trying to connect interminably), but fixing it may have caused this issue.
Okey dokey! Take your time, I’m in no rush.
Can you try it again and see if it works now?
I had made the “skip Patreon check” a bit too strict, I think!

Hi so i’m trying to upload files for my demo on cogdemos but no matter what i do when i click on add files it never takes me to my files. Is cogdemos experiencing issues?
Not that I know of. I just logged in and was able to upload a file. Is this a new demo? I tried with an existing one of mine, but not a new one. If you’re trying a new demo, I can test the same thing.
