What is the most awkward question someone has asked you?
I'm telling you the most awkward question I ever had up until that point in my life. I was like, "Heh, you're serious?" Them: 😐😷 ...duck walked naked until they told me to stop. 🙃 Nobody has explained or told me why I needed to be naked, but I took it twofold: to check for scoliosis and to see if I had any prohibited items tucked up in my "prison wallet" (as surely things would fall out if I did).

Something along the lines of, "Can you duckwalk naked on this line until I tell you to stop?" Oh, the things that we'll do for money...

Cheapest Forum Posting Service – Quality Posts at Unbeatable Prices!
I was more so seeking an answer along the lines of whether this is counted as two sentences, or if you expand on the thought more to have greater quality. 2 sentences reply to, "Have you been to California?" vs.

Forum Competition/Contest Prizes
I know cash is king, but from what I uncovered behind hiring writers makes me weary to offer cash incentives. I now know that one will go through extreme measures to hide their identity in order to get a chance at extra cash. In the case of a writer, they "laundered" payments through 2 different PayPal accounts and seemingly went undetected for a while before more extreme fingerprinting that I do caught up to them to trigger it. What would they do for a $50 or $100 payment if they were doing all of that for an extra $10/wk? I honestly wouldn't have minded if they were open about it and admitted to it because the quality was good, but they played stupid as if they didn't get caught red-handed, which irritated me to enough to drop them on the spot.

XenForo 2.4 coming soon?
Suffice it to say, I won't be running the betas this time around and will probably wait it out to RC3+ before I even look at playing with it. I had a lot of time on my hands when I started my first live forum on 2.1 Beta (as it had reactions, even though I was prepping to launch on 2.0 with Themehouse's add on) and upgraded it through the RCs to a stable release (reporting all the bugs along the way).

XenForo 2.4 coming soon?
2.3 Had a beta. 2.2 Had a beta. 2.1 Had a beta. 2.0 Had a beta. 1.5 Had a beta. 1.4 Had a beta. 1.3 Had a beta. 1.2 Had a beta. 1.1 Had a beta. And 1.0 had a beta. Unsure why 2.4 (or even XF 3) would break the mold.

Nope. It looks like (maliciously) reporting ta site is good enough to get on the blacklist, which you cannot get off of, causing irreparable harm. That's all that I need to know to investigate further. Thanks!

That gave me a clue as to what might've happened. Thanks for the information as I now have a digital trail to follow! :)

Yeah, I'm good, just in recovery mode drinking as much water as I can tolerate. It's hard cause I'm used to coffee so I'm sluggish trying to get through. I have to limit coffee to like 2 cups in order to get enough water.

I've tried replicating this on two devices with and without a VPN, but both are Chrome. Could you please provide more details on it and perhaps a screenshot along with the certificate that it's using (perhaps could be cached on your end)? [ATTACH type=full" alt="1739075830720.webp]1221[/ATTACH]

It's fine. I've been in the hospital for the past week and am now at home in recovery mode, not even feeling like doing much of anything myself yet. 😇

Implement a good trader system
Just annotate that if it becomes problematic where trust is lost because there are no deals ever, but still trade ratings, then may need to reverse course on it. I've not seen a professional forum with trader rating abuse though. (Was also a pretty serious offense on one)

Works but I dunno how I feel about a required thread. As this forum overlaps, I've done business with someone where the item might've been listed here or not. Also prevents you from reviewing writers unless they have a specific thread that you need to go out of your way to find.

Fights with friends online
I had a pretty good friend, and we were tele-co-workers for some time. We even met up when I went back to the States in 2014. He couldn't agree with my politics (not going into it, just knowing what side of the aisle I was on) and blocked me in 2016. Such a strange world we live in today. You used to be able to talk politics (albeit sometimes heated) at the dinner table. Now, people will just completely cut you off. No loss.

I'll have to look into it locally, but at least I have some models to look into, if they're equipped for the same wavelengths (might be different frequencies here or something, who knows, but it should be a universal standard I would presume).

Running a Successful Server as an Administrator
I love this about aaPanel, which is free, as it updates in real-time... [ATTACH type=full" alt="1738291519876.webp]1193[/ATTACH] ...and I don't know if cPanel does the same (you can see it in Plesk but you have to refresh the page). Which makes me want to buy the Pro lifetime license for $700. The difference that I am aware of between the free one and paid one is that the paid version allows accounts, so you can lock down an account where 1 site can't maliciously "attack" another by accessing databases or the root directory owned by a different owner. On an off-topic tangent, back in the 2000s, I played around with PHP and [iCODE]system()[/iCODE] to do something like this: <?php system("cd .."); system("ls"); system("cd .."); system("cd /anotherdomain.com"); system("ls"); ?> It would allow me to execute system commands (which panels now allow to be turned off [unless your host admin is stupid]) to browse out of my domain's home directory and into someone else's to just take a peek. But, once I had the full location down, nothing was stopping me from using [iCODE]fopen()[/iCODE] (now would use something like [iCODE]file_get_contents()[/iCODE]) to see what was in a file, or to write to a file (never did as I saw that as a step too far). It was also a "WTF?" moment to me, when I was done playing with it of course, that a shared host could allow that, and they patched it after I brought my script to the table (I don't know how because the means of doing so back then weren't as readily accessible as they are now, perhaps manually editing php.ini, I don't know). On that note, I think that's what the Pro version does with aaPanel: Prevents a user from going outside of their jailed account's space to access files, databases, or mail, which is a good thing because if 1 site is compromised, all are. However, I'm still looking into security for it since it's new to me. That said, all of that can still be viewed in real-time in the terminal if you want to look at text all day, which I'm getting used to.

Anybody running a ham rig?
That's what I was thinking. There has to be some sort of manual trigger to stop you from broadcasting on bands you shouldn't be on, but also there for when you do get a license to do so, to open it up. I'd mainly want it to listen and then, if SHTF, nobody cares about a license. I just want to test the emergency channels to see if they can receive (and respond) without getting a fine. :-P So, I'll look into that, for Japan.

Anybody running a ham rig?
I'm wondering if you "need" a license (I would look into it for Japan) to own a radio but never use it. Probably good to have, but I don't want to go through the hassle of licensing, etc., to use it. However, I'd like to at least test an emergency channel (if possible) without the "Feds" coming down on me, to see if anyone can respond to a test emergency to be aware that the radio works at the very least. I wouldn't operate it in any other conditions (unless some bands you don't need a license).
