Access seems pretty strict

——

403 Forbidden

You are unable to access this site.

Sorry, you are not allowed to access tcrf.net right now.

If you are using a VPN, try disabling it first. We block many VPNs because of abuse.

If that does not work, the block may be due to one of the following reasons:

You are connecting using a network we have blocked. Your connection is still using a VPN or proxy (incl. Apple Private Wi-Fi, CloudFlare relays, etc.) You are a badly-behaving or unwelcome bot (ChatGPT, bingbot, yandex, etc.) You are using a badly-behaving extension (eg. Imagus, etc) that is trying to load every single version of a file in the background If you were able to view pages before, and this error message has suddenly appeared in place of what you were expecting, make sure you are not running any extensions or tools that are attempting to download everything at once. It is possible you were manually blocked, and it might be removed soon. If not, well, sorry.

If this page always apppeared, there is likely not a lot you can do. If you are using a VPN, turn off your VPN and try again.

Sorry for the trouble. We have been under a long-running DDoS attack.

403 Forbidden is just the modern version of blowing into the cartridge.

30 out of 34 comments are about the content blocking.

Only four comments are about the content of the article, and none of them really go into depth.

This has been at the top of HN all day. If people can't see it, what gives?

		People who can see the article can see that it's incredibly mid and not worth commenting on. But for people who can't see the article, it could be anything! For all they know, they're being kept out of the greatest content of all time!

		From my logging, most people can access it just fine. As for "what gives", I have no idea. The article itself isn't interesting and doesn't contain much of value; the "game" itself is what is interesting, but that's not what the article is there to cover. So my guess is it's just only the people who can't see it, because for others there's not really much to discuss. I don't know why this was even posted here, to be honest.
