You’ll not get a notification for the past non-scraped posts/merits. The bot will only resume from that time and beyond.
Considering how long this takes, and how many posts I've missed by now, I'm planning to make a "catch up" scraper: once the forum works again, I can check the latest topics with new posts on each board, and scrape the last pages of all of them until I caught up to the start of the outage. It will mean some redundant scraping, and I won't catch deleted posts, but at least the voids in my archive will get smaller.
If I can find the time, I expect it to be quite a lot of work.So all these mess are for Cloudflare?
I thought it had something to do from the forum server side.
Usually, this happens because of a DDOS on the forum. As theymos wrote:
