I noticed it accidentally few days ago, but forgot to post about it. I was almost sure that they moved from Cloudflare and I even thought that Bitcointalk developped their own anti DDOS protection.
I remember that when theymos enabled Cloudflare, he was very sceptical about for privacy issues and that it may be potentially owned US intelligence agencies, but he had no other choice. But after all, Cloudflare is doing their job well.

I noticed exact same page on few different websites that also use cloudflare service, so I can confirm that bitcointalk forum is still using cloudflare and that can be confirmed with their certificate.
It would be great if there was better alternative for cloudflare but I don't think something like this exist or at least it's not as effective as cloudflare for DDOS attacks.
If I was in charge of bitcointalk I would also remove google search and replace it with some better alternative that respect privacy.

Cloudflare does its job pretty well. Not to mention their CDN coverage is pretty wide.
If you're a website owner, it offers analytics and security, decent enough on their Free plan.

Did the forum decide to use another DDoS attack protection tool?
If yes, what's the name of the new alternative?

To check it yourself using your browser: Right on this page, open "inspect" ("F12" or "Right-click->Inspect") and go to 'Network' tabIf yes, what's the name of the new alternative?
Next, do some activity like clicking Bitcointalk's homepage and the Network's 'name' tab should be populated,
click on "index.php?...." and click the "Headers" tab at the right side, the server should under "Response Headers".
Check if it's still Cloudflare.

As far as I can tell, it's just that Cloudflare changed the design of their anti-DDOS challenge page.

Check the page at below right after Ray ID. You will see it says by Cloudfare.
I noticed that thing on different websites it seems Cloudflare change its design because I think the old one is a bit slow compared to this new design.
Then I'm having a poor internet connection for the last few days. I came to know about the page change yesterday it was taking a lot of time. I thought the new one is a bit slow lol.

There is a topic about this on their Cloudflare forum here "The New Managed Challenge Page"

Today I noticed when loading a page that it was not the common Cloudflare page we had got accustomed to but instead a new layout of possibly another DDoS attack protection tool that I personally don't know about as you can see in the screenshot
