    Other NodeBB install guide (Ubuntu)

    I currently have 3 NodeBB sites set up on a Contabo VPS-1 instance. Each of those 3 NodeBB sites are using 3 ports each to distribute the load in case they ever get busy (one can always hope). After upgrading to NodeBB 4.0.1 and restarting the VPS instance and letting it sit running for 24...

    Have you ever started over because you lost a backup to your forum?

    They did shortly after that. There is now local storage on site for backups also. They also get pushed out over the net to a remote site for disaster recovery. Both owners are getting up around 70 now and they are looking at either selling and retiring or possibly hiring staff that can take...

    Easily to remember, kind of like Geek Squad, but more countrified..

    Link directory comment by 'Tracy' in item 'Xenforo Help Central'

    I have found it rather amusing how many comments I have had via email about this site. It seems that many are afraid to join it and participate because they are afraid of the wrath of the Xenforo developers. Rightly or wrongly, I won't take a position, but it is sad that people are apparently...

    Webmaster Redneck Hosting Help

    I've had this domain sitting pretty much dormant since 2013 when I had thought about starting a hosting company up. Reality struck and I realized that at my age, I really did not want to get into those hassles. But I kept the domain around for use when I would set up my VPS/dedicated server...

    Have you ever started over because you lost a backup to your forum?

    Sadly, there are a wealth of people that don't want to listen to those that have been through that experience, both in the website admin world and also the business world. Once clinic I did work for kept putting off getting the software I kept recommending for the backup of their servers for...

    How many/what domains do you currently own?

    Well, still have not heard back from that hosting company. So now, if they do respond, the price has just gone up since I decided to actually use it as a site for hosting help/information. I bring you Redneck Hosting Help. https://redneckhost.com Just a site I'm going to play around with on...

    Post or be deleted!

    I know a few admins that have done that. And if I get a notification like that, color my happy butt gone from that site. I post/participate because I want to, not because an admin has a false feeling of god-hood.

    Oh, I get it. I also get the unfairness of it. Welcome to the judgmental world that many live in. Must be really nice when things are so black and white for them. ;)

    Guest surge based from Brazil (and Morocco)

    They come in spurts. I noticed it yesterday about the same time also. It's why I think it may be a bot infestation of some type on Brazilian home computers. I know that they are known to get hard by spammers/hackers injecting home computers with click bait.

    Guest surge based from Brazil (and Morocco)

    Anyone notice a sudden influx of guests hitting your site from Brazil and hitting the error page (denoted by the exclamation mark in the triangle if using Xenforo)? I was online recently and noticed that I had 58 guests visiting. When looking at the members online list, the majority of them had...

    I think you may have missed a point that I had made that there are still several out there that have to fly that flag. And all they had done was have sex with their high school girlfriend that was 1-2 years younger than them. It was so unjust even our uber-Christian Texas legislature created...

    When does rebranding work and when does it not

    I "somewhat" did it one time when I first started into this. I registered a domain and was setting up a motorcycle site. The problem was the domain I chose was regional based, and I decided I would rather have it not limited to an area. So it was moved under a new domain. But the content was...

    How many/what domains do you currently own?

    I've got one that I've been using mainly for setting up my VPS and dedicated servers then using my regular domains for the sites. It was originally purchased back in 2013 when I was thinking about setting up a hosting service and using it. It is redneckhost.com and I figured it would be a...

    When does rebranding work and when does it not

    Over the past decade I have seen time and time again an admin getting disappointed because their site is not drawing in the traffic that they want and think it should. And time and time again I have seen those same admins contemplate rebranding their site with a new domain name. Apparently they...

    If you are going to do that, then why not just start a general chat and then have areas for hobbies, work, science, computers... ad nauseum. If you are a niche, concentrate on your niche and then give your users a general area to talk about life that they may wish to. The urge to do what you...

    Other NodeBB install guide (Ubuntu)

    This guide will go over the basics of installing NodeBB on an Ubuntu LTS based VPS/dedicated server. I strongly suggest using Ubuntu 24.04LTS as one install I attempted on 22.40LTS had some dependency issues. It will not cover actual Linux OS setup, as I assume if you have wanting to install...

    And that's why they changed the law here in Texas. It is referred to as the Romeo & Juliet law and was signed into effect in 2011. Saved quite a few kids.
