A recent DDOS against FurAffinity caused them to turn on Cloudflare's anti-spam service, which prevents the program from accessing FA successfully. However, a Python module was released named cfscrape ( https://github.com/Anorov/cloudflare-scrape ). This allows non-browsers to be able to work around the anti-spam server and restores functionality for FA.
I do have a patch for this, but sadly I'm in the middle of a refactor and the code is somewhat different, but the basic steps are:
1) Install node.js (needed by cfscrape)
2) Install cfscrape via pip
3) Add the following lines to the code:

and replace at the very least the FA
requests.get()call withscraper.get()This should fix the issue (and tested successfully on a currently running bot on Discord).
One thing to note: Cloudflare updates it's anti-spam mechanism every so often, so the cfscrape module will be updated to match it on a regular basis.
