Cloud Flare is basically a fire wall put in place to limit the bots and information center scrapers from clogging up the server. The bots and scrapers are really slamming a lot of forums with limited resources and virtually shutting them down. CF has different levels of security based on if it senses an attack. That is usually when you have to start proving that you are human. However the bots have figured out how to get by that often.
