OpenGD77

[Brunlea]

OpenGD77 forum was taken offline some time ago with a message about bots causing problems with bandwidth.

The OpenGD77 firmware is a custom, open-source firmware designed for specific DMR radios, offering enhanced features for amateur radio enthusiasts.

A volunteer has started a new forum here:

https://www.opengd77.org/index.php

Information from the the old forum:

OpenGD77

Because of constant massive traffic from bots, it is no longer practical to run a user forum for OpenGD77

I initially converted the forum into a static archive, and changed the robots.txt file to attempt to prevent AI bots from overloading the site, however many AI bots ignore the access rules and continue to constantly scrape the site over and over.

This is generating gigabytes of log files every month, which soon exceeds my web hosting quota.

Currently the snapshop is still accessable, but this can't continue, so I plan to make a few static pages with the information about how to download the last Beta and last Release version for each radio, along with the instuctions from the forum about how to install the firmware

A static snapshort of the server can still viewed here

OpenGD77 - Index page

Links to download the firmware and CPS should work, but links to user accounts and registration pages etc will do nothing
