General Discussion • Re: wtf? almost every forum and website is on cloudflare now?

thanks for the replies. I just wanna say I'm not taking this out on PM or anyone here. I'm trying to find oem parts and its getting very difficult. these sites like eastgate show parts I need with a discount price compared to the local dealers. But when you try to buy the part it errors out. I think it was a filler neck for my crown vic. So I phoned them and asked wtf is going on and they said the part is discontinued..(of course it is right?). So I said well you're baiting people then? She didnt like that but hey, thats what you are doing. I'm spending hours of my time comparing prices and looking up factory part numbers and you say its there and show a "add to cart" button. but its not there.

So I dont know if she reeeee'd and blocked me somehow or what but almost every site I run into now has this verify crap. Its super annoying and if I use PM it just crashes so I'm using chrome but even thats an issue. And cloudflare seems to punish me for having tight security. I want webGL off, I want 3rd party frames off. I spent alot of time and effort to make stuff as secure as I can and it wasnt a problem till the last year or so and then say the last 6 months its just gone full potato. everyone and their goat is on cloudflare and I have a right to secure my browser is a huge issue with CF quite obviously.

on top of that theres all these sites just trying to rob people blind a $2 C clip they want 84$ for? 84USD no less! I phoned them and asked wtf are you doing? when I see that, I'll never buy anything from you. the guy just kept trying to pivot around the fact. they actually took my advice and removed the listing but what are people thinking these days. super frustrating.

cloudflare makes this nightmare even worse and how can you sell parts if people cant even get to the page? its crazy
