I didn't think a breach of user data would take down the Wayback Machine. I relied on it so much! [ATTACH type=full" size="791x309]134[/ATTACH] But reading back on this thread... It only makes sense to take the archive offline for a bit. They could've inserted malware into the archived pages. They have to ensure that everything is sanitized now. I hope it won't be off too long.

I love living in a typhoon-prone area. It's so surreal and serene going for a walk in the eye of a Category 5. We haven't had any typhoons hit for 2 or 3 years now. Still a month or two left in the season though...

My discipline comes from a time when I pushed myself to the maximum, both physically and mentally, to the breaking point. That set the standard of how far I can go to know when it's really time to decompress or to tell if I'm just being lazy. If you don't know how far you can go before you break, you will never know if you're giving it your all.

Short answer is No. Long answer is still No, kind of. If you're going to create engagement, use a new account. That is, unless the old account was a paid or guest poster with no real ties to the community and you're replacing them with another poster.

I didn't even know you needed to sign up there — for what purpose? I've only ever used the site to view archived websites to do more research on for domain investing purposes.

All it takes is one good domain like that too.

Not SEO, per se, but buy expiring keyword domains in your niche as they likely have traffic. At one time, I had over 100 domains forwarding into 1. With an average of 8.5 type-ins per domain per month at a cost of $9/yr ($900 for the portfolio), I was essentially paying 8.8 cents CPC on the exact match keyword domain with low to medium competition with bids of $0.25-1.75, saving a ton of money from traditional advertising. The plus side is when I was done with that niche, people wanted to develop their businesses on those domains. Out of that portfolio, I got a maximum of $2000 for one of then (others I've sold for a few hundred here and a few hundred there, keeping what I felt as the best 20 or so that I won't let go for less than $7500 each). You can also do this for dead forums that have links — just redirect to yours and hope $9 can buy you a member per year at the least.

Need something fitting for ROFLMAO I'll enter.

You can always be an armchair lawyer by just filing motions from the comfort of your home. For a lot of legal work, going to court is not a necessity. Lots of cases are done with written arguments alone in all types of courts.

Watch some really stupid AI generated messages for recipes slip through, like for cherry pie: "Grind all the reserved cherry pits into a fine pulp and vigorously mix into the sauce to intensify the cherry flavor, creating a bold, to-die-for taste that will impress your guests at the next dinner party." Please do not do this. I'm just demonstrating how AI will be trolled because it only spits out what it learns. And, it's already shown that there are people that will mislead AI into generating such nonsense.

No. Keep going. Make a font specifically with the logo so you can use it in text. Reminds me of when I did it for Parler. https://xenforo.com/community/resources/parler-share-button-template-mod.8174/

When you spammed my inbox. 😅 Kidding. But our conversation is going on 13 pages! 🤯

RealShit as posted in Administrata's directory. Read more about it: [EMBED content=xa_ld_item-11]https://administrata.net/directory/realshit-unfiltered-discussions.11/[/EMBED] There is already a referral tracking system in place, but rewards, and the criteria to get those awards have not been established yet. However, anyone that refers a member now will be retroactively credited for that referral if the referral meets the eligibility criteria when set in stone. An example of this should be a given that will not credit sock accounts, so if it's determined that you referred yourself, it will not be credited. That said, we will have an appeal system in place just in case we pick up a legitimate brother or sister participating on the same computer to make it as fair as possible since real rewards, and not just pennies, are at stake.

This would be a disaster for the entire internet if XRumer got ahold of the tech.

I'm interested in the editor and whether it can abolish BB Codes like tables and whatnot by letting them be drawn better. Also, divs would be nice so users could format text and images better with text wrapping around images to the left and right (on desktop).

All transactions will be monitored and publicly approved or rejected with the blockchain transaction publicly viewable when approved. If someone refers 10 members, they will have to meet criteria, one of which not being sock accounts which is easy to spot, amongst other things. If a transaction is denied, they can make a public plea, and the reason for denial will be made public too. While a lot will be automated (like compare IP addresses, timezones, and other fingerprinting), of say the 10, there will be redacted information made public as to why it's denied, if denied, to make it clear that we're as transparent in all of our decisions. It's going to take a while to get the framework together for that, because I couldn't imagine vetting 10 or even 100 transactions a day. But, the tools built will hopefully ensure 99.8% or higher are all legitimate, and will give the 0.2% a chance to make their case versus what we've collected to determine the denial — so they better have the facts straight, because we sure will.

As much as I loved Winamp, especially with a revolutionary equalizer when I had a 4.1 sound system, Fetch = Winamp Let it have a peaceful death.

I have two on-forum currencies that I run. "Meme" Coins to keep it family friendly that allow for forum upgrades (username effects, etc.); and Real Tokens. You earn the meme coins by posting, but only Real Tokens through referrals right now — but, I might implement packages of buying Real Tokens with their Meme Coins. Since Real Tokens will directly convert to Dogecoin (it only feels right with the theme of Coins offered), I still need to work out ways to monitor transactions and legitimate referrals, and obviously an approval queue so that someone can't automatically wipe my Dogecoin wallet in seconds of signing up. I also need to have a "currency exchange" or volatility monitor in place so that the outcome will be a set $1 no matter what. For instance, if 10 Doge are trading for 10 cents, they could trade for 10 Doge with X Tokens. But, if Doge has a run to 75 cents, it would reflect where they could only pull 1-2 Doge for the same amount of Real Tokens.

My own with threaded replies and unlimited depth in early 2000 like: >> Re: Thread As it was built into my own MMPORG text based game. Members had no problem with it. After the game was stable with enough features, I converted it to what you would consider a traditional view (like Xenforo), but with very limited features of title and message with little "emoji" (related to the game) support. Then I got into blog networks, criminal justice and forex to be exact. The CPC from interlinking was insane for those keywords at the time ($7-25 per click, just incredibly competitive). But I made my very first mistake opening my first forum in the forex niche on vB3, then vB4, with all the bells and whistles (vB SEO and a ton of brand free DragonByte Tech plugins)... in a niche I had no interest in and relied on paid content posting — $10,000 sunk, with a saving grace of a $3,000 ad deal right before I planned on pulling the plug; soon as the ad deal played out and they didn't renew, it was shut down. I was down about 50% on the investment, but the blog networks held so it wasn't too bad of a loss when combined. Anyone want my vB4 license? 😅 Now, I hold several more XF licenses (and will buy anyone's second hand if the price is right), than open forums. But, I'm working on 3 concurrently, about to add the 4th.

This (minus the account upgrade) was enough when I ran a geo-forum. Tourists were too bothered to sign up and I'd rake in the revenue there. It was enough to keep members free of ads and upgrades. After all, they contributed to creating the content to bring tourists there for that CPC revenue. Ads were also opt-in, so some members chose to display ads in their forum preferences too.
