ANR Community,
As you are all aware, there have been recent performance issues with ANR's website. The performance issues are due to an increased level of bot activity. These bots are automated programs that attempt to access our servers, causing a strain on our resources and impacting the user experience. It is important to note that these bots have not infiltrated our network, and we have not experienced any security breaches or unauthorized access.

We will keep you updated...
