Request for bonzai plant community
Hi there, I'd like to request a community about bonzai plants please.
I don't have a name for it, I guess just "bonzai" would suit but if you have something more creative then please bring it to the party.

I feel like there's been a sudden influx on new active aussie.zone users. Coincidence, or did something happen?
I know other instances have grown a lot due to media attention, reddit making silly decisions or banning communities. Did anything similar happen or is this just a thing that thinged? ... read full post

More AZ issues 19/8/25
Seeing what appears to be a distributed scrape or AZ coming from multiple network from multiple overseas locations. From what I can tell predominantly bon English speaking countries.
I've had to be pretty heavy handed with the catpcha challenges for those countries for now. It seems to have helped, will keep an eye on things. Hopefully not too much collateral damage to legitimate users....

AZ issues 16/8/25
Seems to have been more malicious traffic today, causing issues for the site. I've put a block in place, which seems to have helped.
I'll keep an eye on it.

Communities on the Home page
Hi, I am new here! I have some newbie observations and suggestions, hope it's ok to post them here. It would be great to make high profile communities more obvious on the Aussie Zone home page e.g. on side bar, like they appear when viewing a post. Is this the place to chat about that?

Issues 23/3/25
Not entirely clear to me what is going on, but we've seen a large influx in traffic from oversea today. This has lead to high CPU and performance issues.
I've put in place a block to what seems to be the source of the traffic, but its not perfect and may cause other issues. If you see/hear of any please let me know here.
