Basically Cloudflare will help make this site load a little faster and make it safer by blocking spammers, attackers, harvesters, etc. If you are ever presented with a challenge page please let me know your IP address so I can add you to the safe list.
[Update: Here is what the challenge page would look like]
If you try to replace a image with the same name it will take a while to update. Since the cache has to refresh with Cloudflare. Please let me know of any issues you run into as well.

yeah, the main page pulls up much more quickly, it seems to me. pretty cool! I see in your forum post that cloudflare has blocked 15 threats — what sorts of problems did these pose in the past? I know there were occasional spam posts — anything else?

Those threats where on SlySpyder actually, “threats” are determined by CloudFlare. Either other users have reported that IP as threats/spammers etc. So when they show up again on the CloudFlare network they are stopped. If it is just questionable they are presented with a captcha to make sure they are human.
I just enabled it on PS3Blog.net this morning and already 13 threats are stopped and growing since I just typed this in actually. Mostly web spammers. Issues I’ve had in the past is comment/forum spam, registration spam.
