There are ads all over Tapatalk, who was sold to Everforo, who doesn't care about Tapatalk at all.

I've looked at the forum and saw about the intrusive ads and the DDoS attack and I can't help but think that somehow something rogue has gone on with that extension and has done weird things to the site.

I run servers on Hetzner, too, and I know how finicky they are about abuse. Just wondering if that was a thought for the sysadmins keeping the servers up.
