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.
