    XenForo You just bought out XenForo...

    And maybe that says more than what some might think? I know that personally, I have zero need to use the API functions currently. I do have a few ideas floating around, but since I doubt I'll be using Xenforo for more than a year or so I'm not going to waste the time investing in having the...

    WRITING IN ALL CAPS?

    I've got a friend who tends to write (in normal conversations) in all lower case. The funny thing is, I know he knows how to use the caps key as he was responsible when he was manager over a help desk and he was responsible for writing procedural manuals. But he's usually on his phone and he's...

    Forum Software Drama Killing Forums

    Over on the XF site generally I figured out the answer to the questions I posted over there before either staff or others replied. I also generally tried to remember to post the solution that I found in case others ran into the same issue. That desire to "help" out over there slowly decayed...

    XenForo Favorite Addon Developers

    Bob, Xon and Ozzy47/Painbaker are the three main developer add-ons I use. And I much prefer them because they actually have their own sites that they distribute their product from and provide support.

    Woltlab BB

    It's very popular with German admins and some of those in the EU. It was a solid platform when I used it, but the biggest issue I had with it was with support on their support forum. If you did not speak/write German then you were usually waiting for bit for a response until one of the...

    Not really. But honestly there are only about 3 of us that regularly post images on the site. :ROFLMAO:

    FTTH is really the bees knees!

    I've been with my old ISP for over 15 years using their cable internet and overall had been happy as I paid for 1Gbps download speeds and normally got 800Mbps. But for the last 2 months that changed and I was getting 20Mbps at the best early in the morning hours. It was taking me over a day...

    Mine is FAR from top-end equipment and my main rig would cost about $14,000 to replace at todays prices. And I have two others that are in the $10K range. The astrophotography part of it can definitely start running up there... but I know people that have well more than what I do invested in...

    No Links Allowed on Big Boards

    Yeah, the only thing I am using them for on my site is the ability to "purchase" raffle tickets. I am not going to spend the money on the store add-on to allow folks to purchase special buttons and such as I already allow them to upload their own avatar, select from a gallery of them, have...

    Allowing some profanity?

    To get around that you simply use the exact phrase. You would use the poophead and poop head in the censor list. Of course we both know that there are easy ways to bypass that, but when a user does that it then shows intention instead of writing like they normally talk.

    Allowing some profanity?

    It depends on your definition of profanity. Sexual related like the f word and genitalia related are censored on my sites as is the ever popular taking of the Lords name in vain. But stuff like the common word for defecation, urination and such are allowed. Otherwise, you would block someone...

    No Links Allowed on Big Boards

    I'm not into "making bank" off the site, so for me the better offering is "paying" them in credits for use on the site. Those credits can also be used to participate in the raffles that I offer. It's a win/win as to gain credits, users have to participate. Users participate they gain credits...

    It's honestly been very effective. But a lot of that has to do with the niche. I don't know anyone into astronomy/astrophotography that doesn't like to "brag" on their gear. :ROFLMAO:

    You would need, in addition to a credits system (which I use DragonByte) but also a store that allows you to offer "upgrades" for sale through it since the core XF software (AFAIK) still does not allow that.

    Account Deletion Demand

    Not that I'm aware of. Next time I'm over at Xon's site grabbing updates direct from his alert system I may inquire. But it would be better if it was built into the core product. But that entails the core developers actually giving their license holders what they can use. 😈
