I’d like to see a new addition to the Administrata Pro subscription where interested users can request a Reddit post in our designated subreddit to help increase their forum’s visibility and exposure. This feature could also be expanded to other social media platform

My favorite toppings are pepperoni and ham or an all meat lovers pizza. I don’t like supreme pizza nor Pineapple. I generally eat pizza every other week. Pizza hut and Dominos are my favorite along with Homemade pizza.

I usually find these projects on Reddit and another forum that I’m a member of. There’s a lot of indie developers in those spaces working on different forum software concepts. Mikeal from the 32bit community actually introduced me to Cera and FishBB, however, I found Neobb while browsing Reddit. https://discourse.32bit.cafe/t/neobb-a-new-forum-software-is-being-developed/2392/2 I think most of them can probably can get taken over by another developer if the updates slow down though. It’s interesting that there’s more options available though.

Leaked Slack chat shows Matt Mullenweg considering delaying WordPress releases until late 2027, citing reduced corporate contributions A leaked WordPress Slack chat shows that Matt Mullenweg is considering limiting future WordPress releases to just one per year from now through 2027 and insists that the only way to get Automattic to contribute more is to pressure WP Engine to drop their lawsuit. One WordPress developer who read that message characterized it as blackmail. [HEADING=1]WordPress Core Development[/HEADING] Mullenweg’s Automattic already reduced their contributions to core, prompting a WordPress developer attending WordCamp Asia 2025 to plead with Matt Mullenweg to increase Automattic’s contributions to WordPress because his and so many other businesses depend on WordPress. Mullenweg smiled and said no without actually saying the word no. Automattic’s January 2025 statement about reducing contributions: [HEADING=1]Leaked Slack Post[/HEADING] The post on Slack blamed WP Engine for the slowdown and encourages others to put pressure on WP Engine to drop the suit. The following is a leaked quote of Mullenweg’s post on the WordPress Slack channel, as postedin the Dynamic WordPress Facebook Group (must join the Facebook group to read the post) by a reliable source: [HEADING=1]Response to Mullenweg’s leaked post:[/HEADING] One Facebook user accused Mullenweg of trying to “blackmail” the WordPress community to pressure WP Engine (WPE). They wrote that the community is largely sympathetic to WPE than to Mullenweg. But in general Mullenweg’s statement was met with a shrug because they feel that this will give core contributors the chance to catch up on maintaining the core which to them is a greater priority than adding more features to Gutenberg which many of the developers in this group apparently don’t use. One lone commenter in the Facebook discussion asked if anyone in the discussion had made a positive contribution to WordPress. At the time of writing, nobody had cared to respond.

Fishbb is a simple, yet minimalist bulletin board board software that’s designed for sustainable online communities. It uses go + & sqlite and no javascript along with 12 dependencies, 2,000 lines of, 2000 lines of code. FishBB is designed to require a minimal amount of infrastructure and maintenance burden for self-hosting. All FishBB data is stored in a single sqlite file. HTML templates are embedded in the Go bindary. FishBB is VERY early in development -- expect bugs and be very wary of sensitive data. Make sure to change the admin password away from default credentials. [HEADING=2]#[/HEADING] FishBB also runs as a 'cluster' where multiple forums can be created. These forums can either exist in the 'cluster' (as a sort of broader forum manager) or exported on their own. The app that hosts the fishbb cluster is https://git.sr.ht/~aw/fishbb-cluster https://git.sr.ht/~aw/fishbb

Creating a responsive website is essential in modern web development. CSS breakpoints allow us to adjust layouts based on screen sizes, ensuring a smooth experience acrossmobile, tablets, laptops, and desktops. [HEADING=1]🔹 What Are CSS Breakpoints?[/HEADING] CSS breakpoints are specific screen widthswhere your website layout adapts to different devices. They help create mobile-friendly and responsivedesigns. [HEADING=1]📌 Common CSS Breakpoints[/HEADING] Below are commonly used breakpoints for different devices: 📱 Mobile: Up to 480px 📟 Extra Small Devices:481px - 767px 📲 Small Tablets: 768px - 991px 💻 Large Tablets/Laptops: 992px - 1199px 🖥️ Desktops: 1200px - 1919px 🖥️ Extra Large Screens:1920px and above [HEADING=1]✨ How to Use CSS Media Queries for Breakpoints?[/HEADING] Use the @media rule to define CSS styles for specific screen sizes.

Start with a mobile-first approach and scale up. Test on multiple devicesusing browser DevTools. Use CSS Grid & Flexboxfor better layout control. [HEADING=1]🔥 Conclusion[/HEADING] CSS breakpoints are crucial for making websites responsive. By using media queries, you can ensure your website looks great on mobile, tablets, and desktops. Always followbest practices and test your designs on different screen sizes. Source: https://pixeltoinches.com/blog/css-breakpoints-for-web-developers

Running a forum comes with its fair share of drama. Whether it’s toxic users stirring up trouble, leaks causing chaos, or internal disputes spilling into public view, bad PR can hit hard. I’ve dealt with all of the above, and the key to bouncing back is owning the situation and controlling the narrative. First, transparency is everything. If something goes down, address it head-on. Don’t try to sweep things under the rug because the community will talk regardless. A well-worded announcement explaining what happened (without fueling the drama) helps maintain credibility. Second, clean house fast. If toxic users are the problem, ban them. If it’s an internal issue, lock things down and restructure. You can’t rebuild trust if the same people causing the damage are still around. Third, engage with the community. Open up discussions, answer concerns, and make it clear that you’re working on solutions. A forum is nothing without its users, and if they feel ignored or betrayed, they’ll leave. Finally, implement changes and show results. Whether it’s better moderation, stricter privacy policies, or improved communication, actions speak louder than words. If people see that you’re actively improving things, they’ll stick around. It takes time to rebuild a forum’s reputation, but if you handle the situation with honesty and strong leadership, your community will respect you for it. Have you ever had to deal with a PR nightmare on your forum? How’d you handle it?

It is a foregone conclusion that AI models can lack accuracy. Hallucinations and doubling down on wrong information have been an ongoing struggle for developers. Usage varies so much in individual use cases that it's hard to nail down quantifiable percentages related to AI accuracy. A research team claims it now has those numbers. The Tow Center for Digital Journalism recently studied eight AI search engines, including ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Perplexity Pro, Gemini, DeepSeek Search, Grok-2 Search, Grok-3 Search, and Copilot. They tested each for accuracy and recorded how frequently the tools refused to answer. The researchers randomly chose 200 news articles from 20 news publishers (10 each). They ensured each story returned within the top three results in a Google search when using a quoted excerpt from the article. Then, they performed the same query within each AI search tool and graded accuracy based on whether the search correctly cited A) the article, B) the news organization, and C) the URL. The researchers then labeled each search based on degrees of accuracy from "completely correct" to "completely incorrect." As you can see from the diagram below, other than both versions of Perplexity, the AIs did not perform well. Collectively, AI search engines are inaccurate 60 percent of the time. Furthermore, these wrong results were reinforced by the AI's "confidence" in them. Click to enlarge. The study is fascinating because it quantifiably confirms what we have known for a few years – that LLMs are "the slickest con artists of all time." They report with complete authority that what they say is true even when it is not, sometimes to the point of argument or making up other false assertions when confronted. In a 2023 anecdotal article, Ted Gioia (The Honest Broker) pointed out dozens of ChatGPT responses, showing that the bot confidently "lies" when responding to numerous queries. While some examples were adversarial queries, many were just general questions. "If I believed half of what I heard about ChatGPT, I could let it take over The Honest Broker while I sit on the beach drinking margaritas and searching for my lost shaker of salt," Gioia flippantly noted. Even when admitting it was wrong, ChatGPT would follow up that admission with more fabricated information. The LLM is seemingly programmed to answer every user input at all costs. The researcher's data confirms this hypothesis, noting that ChatGPT Search was the only AI tool that answered all 200 article queries. However, it only achieved a 28-percent completely accurate rating and was completely inaccurate 57 percent of the time. ChatGPT isn't even the worst of the bunch. Both versions of X's Grok AI performed poorly, with Grok-3 Search being 94 percent inaccurate. Microsoft's Copilot was not that much better when you consider that it declined to answer 104 queries out of 200. Of the remaining 96, only 16 were "completely correct," 14 were "partially correct," and 66 were "completely incorrect," making it roughly 70 percent inaccurate. Arguably, the craziest thing about all this is that the companies making these tools are not transparent about this lack of accuracy while chargingthe public $20 to $200 per month to access their latest AI models. Moreover, Perplexity Pro ($20/month) and Grok-3 Search ($40/month) answered slightly more queries correctly than their free versions (Perplexity and Grok-2 Search) but had significantly higher error rates (above). Talk about a con. However, not everyone agrees. TechRadar's Lance Ulanoff said he might never use Google again after trying ChatGPT Search. He describes the tool as fast, aware, and accurate, with a clean, ad-free interface. Do you trust AI search engines to return accurate results?

I’m currently listening to think of you by Taj jackson.

Spain's government approved a bill on Tuesday imposing massive fines on companies that use content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) without properly labelling it as such, in a bid to curb the use of so-called "deepfakes". The bill adopts guidelines from the European Union's landmark AI Actimposing strict transparency obligations on AI systems deemed to be high-risk, Digital Transformation Minister Oscar Lopez told reporters. "AI is a very powerful tool that can be used to improve our lives ... or to spread misinformation and attack democracy," he said. Spain is among the first EU countries to implement the bloc's rules, considered more comprehensive than the United States' system that largely relies on voluntary compliance and a patchwork of state regulations. Lopez added that everyone was susceptible to "deepfake" attacks - a term for videos, photographs or audios that have been edited or generated through AI algorithms but are presented as real. The Spanish bill, which needs to be approved by the lower house, classifies non-compliance with proper labelling of AI-generated content as a "serious offence" that can lead to fines of up to 35 million euros ($38.2 million) or 7% of their global annual turnover. Ensuring AI systems do not harm society has been a priority for regulators since OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT in late 2022, which wowed users by engaging them in human-like conversation and performing other tasks. The bill also bans other practices, such as the use of subliminal techniques - sounds and images that are imperceptible - to manipulate vulnerable groups. Lopez cited chatbots inciting people with addictions to gamble or toys encouraging children to perform dangerous challenges as examples. It would also prevent organisations from classifying people through their biometric data using AI, rating them based on their behaviour or personal traits to grant them access to benefits or assess their risk of committing a crime. However, authorities would still be allowed to use real-time biometric surveillance in public spaces for national security reasons. Enforcement of the new rules will be the remit of the newly-created AI supervisory agency AESIA, except in specific cases involving data privacy, crime, elections, credit ratings, insurance or capital market systems, which will be overseen by their corresponding watchdogs.

Welcome aboard ron!

This is its vital and important to be with a reputable hosting provider. If your resources can’t handle your new traffic, you can easily upgrade to a new server and move everything very fast without any downtime.

I spend a few hours a day on my forum. Whether it’s going through my directory changing things, interlinking some posts/threads, posting new content, responding to current posts or actively promoting. I wouldn’t necessarily say that I spend too much time on my forum. It’s my project, so I’m going to water it until it blossoms even more.

The main mistake that I made when I was younger was not taking backups. But now I make sure I have daily backups in place and another backup stored off site.

Instagram works well too. Their pages actually show up on the search engines, so it’s a great way to promote your forum on there. Including your forum link on pictures can help a lot.

I signed up to receive early access to the new Digg, so I’ll provide updates once I receive access to the new version!

Hey [mention=594]JennyorAlice[/mention] welcome to the community!

lean forum software Meaning: to search, quest, run (it) near, close, around, nearby, nigh (es) approximately, roughly (en; from circa) Circa was created after a long time of pining for a new wave of forums hangs. The reason it exists are many. To harbor longer form discussions, and for crawling through threads and topics. For habitually visiting the site to see if anything new happened, as opposed to being obtrusively notified when in the middle of something else. For that sweet tinge of nostalgia that comes with the terrain, from having grown up in pace with the sprawling phpBB forum communities of the mid noughties. It was written for the purpose of powering the nascent Merveilles community forums. [HEADING=1]Features[/HEADING] Customizable: Many of Cerca's facets are customizable and the structure is intentionally simple to enable DIY modification Private: Threads are public viewable by default but new threads may be set as private, restricting views to logged-in users only Easy admin: A simple admin panel lets you add users, reset passwords, and remove old accounts. Impactful actions require two admins to perform, or a week of time to pass without a veto from any admin Invites: Fully-featured system for creating both one-time and multi-use invites. Admins can monitor invite redemption by batch as well as issue and delete batches of invites. Accessible using the same simple type of web interface that services the rest of the forum's administration tasks. Transparency: Actions taken by admins are viewable by any logged-in user in the form of a moderation log Low maintenance: Cerca is architected to minimize maintenance and hosting costs by carefully choosing which features it supports, how they work, and which features are intentionally omitted RSS: Receive updates when threads are created or new posts are made by subscribing to the forum RSS feed Cerca supports community customization. Write a custom about text describing the community inhabiting the forum Define your own registration rules, instructions on getting an invite code to register, and link to an existing code of conduct Set your own custom logo (whether svg, png or emoji) Create your own theme by writing plain, frameworkless css Source: https://github.com/cblgh/cerca

Congratulations on the launch of your new directory! [mention=31]andreyi1979[/mention] It’s always nice to see another directory open up. The internet needs more of them.😀

I used to collect baseball cards when I was younger, but I sold them all a few years ago.

Google has provided a new update regarding AI overviews:

Discourse is also apart of the fediverse, which I wasn’t aware of up until a few days ago. https://meta.discourse.org/t/federation-support-for-discourse/90921/87 https://lemmy.ml/post/85000 So, that’s two forum softwares that are now apart of the fediverse. Hopefully more forum software companies decide to join the fediverse soon!

I prefer the first design over the second one. Well done! [mention=490]otisbooard[/mention]
