Honest question for our awesome, super dedicated site staff and mods? It seems like every time there is a debate or a "happening," this site slows to a crawl, goes down and or is under attack by DDoS attacks.

What can we do, or what is being done to mitigate this so we are prepared to post, share and read about happenings on Election night? In reality, this is going to be one of the few places on the web where regular every day people can share and read about what is going on, if there is election fraud going on, weird trends or coincidences, etc.

Is there a backup plan?

Yup. I asked right after the first debate. I think the site will be inaccessible during election night. How can there be no plan?

I think the site uses cloudfare, and maybe couldfare also throttles TD? If thats the case then either a different DNS/anti spam could be tried

Let's announce our plans so the enemy knows our tactics.
