I just wanted to say that the app will not work while this CloudFlare DDOS protection page is turned on.
I'm afraid we'll have to wait until Voat is back to normal operation without this DDOS protection.
EDIT: For anyone reading this, please update to version 1.5.6 which should help reduce the pressure on Voat by making less calls to the website. (DDoS block is still active anyway, but for the future when it's taken off)

I think this is simply a temporary thing that will go away soon, it's a feature called "I'm Under Attack"
@Atko or @PuttItOut would be helpful now.

Hopefully temporary. Is there a contengency plan for if this is permanent?

This thing is designed to block bots and my App is basically a bot. Make no mistake, there is ALWAYS a way to solve a problem, but it will be painful and a hack, and I'm pretty sure this is a temporary thing because Voat is under DDoS attack right now. This feature isn't supposed to be always turned on, it's supposed to be turned on only when your site is under active DDoS attack and you want extra protection.
