**Protecting Websites from AI Scrapers: The Anubis Solution**

The world of online security has recently faced a new and significant threat: AI-powered bots designed to scrape websites for valuable information without permission or compensation. In response, website administrators have implemented a unique solution called Anubis, designed to protect their servers from these malicious actors.

So, what exactly is Anubis? Simply put, it's a Proof-of-Work scheme similar to Hashcash, which adds an extra layer of complexity to the challenge proof of work page. The idea behind Anubis is that while individual users may not notice the added load, malicious scraper bots may find it more difficult to overcome.

But why did website administrators feel the need for such a measure? AI companies have revolutionized the way websites host content online, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. One consequence of this shift is that some users are no longer able to access websites without JavaScript enabled, due to changes in the social contract around website hosting.

Enabling JavaScript has become an essential requirement for accessing Anubis-protected websites, including our own. We recommend disabling plugins like JShelter, which may block modern JavaScript features needed to navigate these challenge pages.

So, what does this mean for you? As a user of Anubis-protected websites, it's good news that you're seeing this message – it means the administrator has taken steps to protect their website from malicious scraping attempts. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this extra layer of security, but rest assured that our goal is always to keep you safe and informed.

For those who may not be aware, Anubis version 1.20.0 is currently in use on our website. As with all solutions designed to mitigate cyber threats, there's still ongoing work being done to create a more seamless experience for users like you.
