Video Game Wiki TCRF Offline After DDoS Attack

Kotaku reports that The Cutting Room Floor, a video game wiki, went offline amid a DDoS attack. The outlet states the attack followed the banning of someone who tried to scrape the site with AI tools including Claude Code. According to the report the banned user evaded the restriction and spread a fabricated story. The person accused later received an image of a butthole drawn in MS Paint. The public posts describe the outage as triggered by the scraping attempt and the events that followed.
