Hi dang, I'm not sure you're still going to read this message since it's been many hours.

First, I'm sorry to hear HN was under attack. That's never fun.

Second, I understand your reasons for temporarily turning on the CAPTCHA, even though as a user I really dislike it - especially reCAPTCHA.

Given the latter, I hope you will consider alternatives. Regardless though, it would be nice to add a message to the login page explaining that the CAPTCHA is temporary because the website is under attack. That would allow me to keep 3rd-party stuff blocked by uBO on the login page and still know what's going on. I would probably just keep the pages I'm interested in on a tab and come back to them later, when the CAPTCHA is gone.

In any case, as always, thanks for your work keeping this forum alive and healthy.
