Use of Noah's Slidebox (and soon, Noah's Arkive) will require you to be logged into your Foundation account

The use of Noah's Slidebox (and soon Noah's Arkive) is still FREE, but you will need to be logged into your free Foundation account. Over the last few months, the Foundation's site has been slowed to a crawl by AI bots and scrapers download the terabytes of information in Noah's Slidebox and Noah's Arkive (NS and NA for those "in the know"). In order to combat this new scourge, we are migrating our two most data-heavy resources behind your login. These resources are still free to use, but you must be logged into your account. Noah's Slidebox is already moved, and we are currently working on Noah's Arkive. For those of you who may have forgotten how to log into your account - simply click on the "Log In" text at the top of the front page at davisthompsonfoundation.org. This will take you to the login page and give you the opportunity to put in your username and password, reset your password if you have forgotten it (I feel your pain), or if you don't have an account on the site - you can set up your free account by clicking on "Register". Please make sure to save your username and password - we hope that you will continue to visit often and use these ever-growing resources. -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org
