Patrick used to visit some admin forums in the past. There were some blogs that were published that discussed the book as well. https://www.entrepreneur.com/science-technology/why-forums-may-be-the-most-powerful-social-media-channel/223493 https://www.convinceandconvert.com/social-media/brand-community-managers-take-heed-of-managing-online-forums/

I haven’t been to the one in Texas yet, but I went to the one in Massachusetts when I was younger. Now that one on my sisters lives in San Antonio, I’ll probably visit the one out there soon.

Marvel Studios will be releasing Thunderbolts on May 2nd in theaters nationwide!

Facebook parent-company Meta is currently fighting a class action lawsuit alleging copyright infringement and unfair competition, among others, with regards to how it trained LLaMA. According to an X (formerly Twitter) post by vx-underground, court records reveal that the social media company used pirated torrents to download 81.7TB of data from shadow libraries including Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, and LibGen. It then used this information to train its AI models. The evidence, in the form of written communication, shows the researchers’ concerns about Meta’s use of pirated materials. One senior AI researcher said way back in October 2022, “I don’t think we should use pirated material. I really need to draw a line here.” While another one said, “Using pirated material should be beyond our ethical threshold,” then they added, “SciHub, ResearchGate, LibGen are basically like PirateBay or something like that, they are distributing content that is protected by copyright and they’re infringing it.” [HEADING=1]Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right" - Meta employee[/HEADING] Then, in January 2023, Mark Zuckerberg himself attended a meeting where he said, “We need to move this stuff forward... we need to find a way to unblock all this.” Some three months later, a Meta employee sent a message to another one saying they were concerned about Meta IP addresses being used “to load through pirate content.” They also added, “torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right,” followed by laughing out loud emoji. Aside from those messages, documents also revealed that the company took steps so that its infrastructure wasn’t used in these downloading and seeding operations so that the activity wouldn’t be traced back to Meta. The court documents say that this constitutes evidence of Meta’s unlawful activity, which seems like it’s taking deliberate steps to circumvent copyright laws. However, this isn’t the first time an AI training model has been accused of stealing information off the internet. OpenAI has been sued by novelists as far back as June 2023 for using their books to train its large language models, with The New York Times following suit in December. Nvidia has also been on the receiving end of a lawsuit filed by writers for using 196,640 books to train its NeMo model, which has since been taken down. A former Nvidia employee blew the whistle on the company in August of last year, saying that it scraped more than 426 thousand hours of videos daily for use in AI training. More recently, OpenAI is investigating if DeepSeekillegally obtained data from ChatGPT, which just shows how ironic things can get. The case against Meta is still ongoing, so we will have to wait until the court releases its decision to say if the company committed direct infringement. And even if the writers win this case, Meta, with its huge financial war chest, will likely appeal the decision, meaning we will have to wait for several months, if not years, to see the final court judgment.

No, seo will not be replaced by AI assistants, but the core SEO systems will be enhanced by the use of AI assistants and make searching a lot easier for some. Seo will never be replaced and will be here long after AI.

Youtube isn’t a search engine. It’s owned by Google. Bing is a search engine, Duckduckgo is a search engine and Brave has one along with Chatgpt.

When working with niche topics, it can be tough to figure out a content strategy because traditional keyword research tools like GSC, Ahrefs, and Semrush often lack data on highly specific or emerging discussions.

Why Reddit is a Powerful Keyword Research Tool Real User Discussions – Unlike keyword tools that rely on search volume estimates, Reddit reveals actual conversations happening in real-time. Unfiltered Pain Points – You get direct insights into what people are struggling with, which makes it easier to create content that genuinely helps.

Xenforo has released a new “Have you seen” post and this time, they’re introducing “chunked uploads” which will allow you to split files that are too large for some servers too process. This will now make it easier to upload bigger files if you’d like to do so. “ Chunked uploads" is the process of splitting uploaded files into much smaller chunks which are then re-assembled on the server. The main reason you might want to do this is if you have very strict file upload limits imposed by your host, you want to upload much larger files, or you proxy your site behind services such as Cloudflare. Cloudflare for example imposes a 100MB upload limit, regardless of what your server configuration may be. In some cases the default max upload size in PHP is as little as 2MB. Or, in some cases, your server config might be reasonable but you might occasionally need to upload larger files than allowed.” https://xenforo.com/community/threads/chunked-uploads.229040/

Blocking AI crawlers from indexing your site can prevent it from appearing in certain AI-driven searches, particularly ChatGPT, now that they’ve rolled out their search engine nationwide. It’s also a good idea to set up Bing webmaster’s tools, so Chatgpt can index your content faster. However, some AI bots, like Bytedance, don’t have a traditional search engine but do operate web crawlers that collect data. Similarly, Facebook has an AI spider that crawls and indexes website content, and they’re reportedly planning to launch their own search engine in the future. This means your content could appear in Facebook’s AI-generated responses. If you don’t want them accessing your site, it’s best to block their crawler. Twitter also has an AI bot that feeds its AI system, Gonk. So, do you allow AI crawlers to index your content? If so, which AI bots do you permit, and which ones do you block?

[HEADING=2]EVGA closes its official forums and transitions to Reddit[/HEADING] EVGA, one of Nvidia's most prominent partners, made waves two years ago, in September 2022, when it exited the GPU business. If the sudden closure of the EVGA forums is any indication, the company will continue to wind down its business. At the time of writing, a banner on the forum's main page posted yesterday reads: "Responding to the feedback from our valued customers and in light of Reddit’s widespread popularity, EVGA would like to encourage its community to transition to Reddit. As of this announcement, our existing forums will be read only and our team will actively engage with customers on Reddit threads moving forward." "EVGA and our Moderators would like to thank all its forum members for the years of posts bringing together a great community of PC Enthusiast, and we hope to continue this community at its new home on Reddit." "Please head over to our new community home on Reddit at http://HTTPS://www.reddit.com/r/TEAMEVGA/" So, while the EVGA Forums will continue to exist in a read-only form for an undetermined amount of time, all remaining support and community is being pushed to the TEAMEVGA subreddit. EVGA previously cited major issues with Nvidia from its place as an industry-leading AIB partner. Despite leaving the GPU business, the company denied closing its doors. What does EVGA sell nowadays? Well, not much. The company has erased all mentions of GPUs on its website, leaving just power supplies, gaming peripherals, and a few last-generation Intel motherboards. Although we had seen an EVGA X670E prototype, the motherboard never reached the market. EVGA has managed to (mostly) stay in good favor with its customers since it exited the GPU business, even honoring RMAs for several GPU customers after the fact with its remaining stock. EVGA's other hardware products, like its power supplies, are generally considered quality options and sell in decent volume. Thus, perhaps there is still hope, which is just a sign of EVGA cutting unneeded fat. However, power supplies aren't EVGA's bread and butter, so it remains to see how long the company can stay afloat.

Over time, we’ve seen online communities come and go, especially with the rise of social media. However, they still remain one of the strongest backbones of the internet. Online communities bring people together for learning, networking, and discussion. Over the years, we’ve also seen various forum software releases that have made community building easier, not harder. But what do you think the future holds for online communities? Will they continue to thrive despite the dominance of social media, or do you see them taking a step back in the coming years? After all, social media can also be considered a form of online community, as it connects users in groups—but not in the same way as forums do. Do you think more forum software will enter the fediverse, like NodeBB, allowing communities to reach a broader audience? Or do you believe forums will remain independent? What are your thoughts on the future of online communities?

Keep them open for discussions and let threads live on. I don’t see a point of locking old threads.

Unless a member is posting 24/7, I’ve never seen a member get burnt out from posting on a forum. A forum owner, possibly, but not a forum member.

No, I don’t allow anonymous posting on my forums.

I use all of them, paypal, chime and cashapp. I don’t use stripe though. I’ll also take crypto, but it’s not my preferred payment method.
