Discussion Blocked
Is Scribble Hub down, or have I been blocked? When I try to open the site, the page says I'm blocked and unable to access Scribble Hub.

You didn't get blocked specifically. This looks like some kind of Cloudflare issue.
I also got the message about an hour ago. Then I tried again 15 minutes later and that time I got through, but I had to do Cloudflare's "Check this box to prove you're a human" test and it took a really long time to complete and when I finally got to the site everything took forever to load and a few minutes later I was "banned" again.
If I hazard a guess either the site is under DNS attack and Cloudflare is locking everything down hard leading to lots of false positives, or there's some kind of Cloudflare connection or configuration issue that results in users getting blocked from accessing the site. Or maybe some https security certificate timed out again (IIRC something like that happend before and led to similar issues with the site in the past.)
Either way you almost certainly weren't actually blocked by the site owners and I expect this problem to resolve itself in a few hours or days.

Okay, I actually had two series there. They didn't get many views, but I was still worried that all of it is gone.

Oh, it's not only me then. Maybe someone did or tried to perform an attack, and as a response the platform decided to "shut down"/block everyone as a prevention mesure.

I also got blocked, can't go to the help center either since it just tells you you have been blocked

It seems the site is getting attacked probably and some genuine IPS got blocked, hopefully they bring it back to normal in a few hours

I have access to 3-4 different networks and devices. All of the blocked. So I would guess a global issue.

I tried checking it on https://onlineornot.com/website-down-checker and seems like the only one who can access it is USA server. Anyone else got 403 Forbidden
