I hate to post this thread in a section of this forum that it doesn’t belong, but I couldn’t find out where to post this as I have limited access to each section. I also hate to use the ROBLOXCRITICAL tag on my post mere weeks after I first began using the DevForum. However, this is critical.
My two most popular games, Doomspire Brickbattle and The Really Easy Obby, each boasting over a hundred million visits, were just forced to private by what I believe (and I have evidence to prove this) were bots. Here is the timeline of events, in CST:

While writing this forum post I also noticed that the link to my game Doomspire Brickbattle suddenly began redirecting to a 400 error page, but I checked again while trying to retrieve evidence of this and it went to the correct game page Doomspire Brickbattle - Roblox
