    XenForo versus Discord

    I own as much with my Discord install as I do with my Xenforo install. Both are self hosted. I'll have to beg to disagree in many aspects. And this does not look much different than any XF forum I have visited. And in some ways, it offers more in its built in search than other paid...

    XenForo versus Discord

    If all you want is a simplistic modern discussion forum then I lean towards Discourse. It is more modern in appearance from a user perspective. Much of the moderation is user trust based. It has a single-page application design, which it appears that the younger crowd likes more than the...

    Custom Emojis, Icons, Etc.

    I no longer use any custom ones. The main reason if you migrate software, they don't generally follow along. Also, it's a lot easier to use the built in emoji, especially for those that use the Unicode Standard as they translate across most all devices.

    Google: Not all sites will fully recover with future core algorithm updates

    Ehhh... I'm happy. Folks are still using the site to find resources pertinent to the niche and coming by. And that's what I set the site up for. There was a decline around the first of March. And I don't really push it on other sites.. but apparently it does get a few organic backlinks...

    Members Online

    Just the other day. I had 5,287 guests online. Of course, almost every one of them was hitting the style variation link that Xenforo seems to be prone to bots hitting. Gives me something to do by using managed challenges for certain ASN's.

    Backing up your host

    How many times have you tested the validity of the backup they provide?

    Backing up your host

    I don't trust services provided by hosting providers. Ergo why I run a script that allows me 7 day rolling backups. I could easily increase that, but generally I have found if I have not noticed an issue in 7 days... that's my problem. So far (knock on wood) that has not bit me. I've posted...

    EU Internet Laws

    I think the way the law was written kind of eliminated that "out" that was there. It did not matter where the server was based, but more the owner of it. For someone like me in the US, I don't have to worry about it. And no, there were some pretty popular sites shutting down...

    EU Internet Laws

    I know that there have been several sites in the UK that are shutting down due to the Online Safety Act that went into became law recently.

    Most Money Spent?

    With the servers I had, I had 32 IPv4 addresses for each of them. Was not that much more at that time. All the servers I had at that time I ran ProxMox on. And the biggest one I had a dedicated (for my main VPS) set up for 12vCPU. During that time I was would only grab a dual CPU based...

    Most Money Spent?

    I've used several over the years. When I was running the largest server I have provisioned it was with a company out of Dallas. Don't remember the name of it now but I do know that their quality has dropped and remember reading someone having issues with them drafting funds after a server was...

    Is free forum software dying?

    I would not say "better plug-ins". But for a "simple forum script" which many XenForo cult members keep yelling that XF is, it does offer a viable and more modernistic take on a forum site. Many add-ons that are are considered as "needed" are available for it. One that is that XenForo...

    Is free forum software dying?

    And for Discourse.. I seem to have found the issue with trying to add plugins in and them failing. It all falls back to their text based setup that they use, which is VERY sensitive to new lines or spaces.

    Is the dot forum a flop?

    As more and more people start using search engines to go to a site, the TLD is not as important. Heck, in some ways even the main domain being "short" is not as important as it once was since very few type in the domain names any longer. One of the problems is uptake of the newer TLDs. They...

    Is the dot forum a flop?

    It will happen. Folks (for good or bad) try to get other TLD's that emulate a popular one. How many of us older people have gone to whitehouse.com when trying to get to the official WhiteHouse site back in the day? Now it's just more spammers that use them for email delivery than web traffic so...

    Is the dot forum a flop?

    The .COM/.ORG/.NET will probably be the "standby" for years yet, as will the country associated domains. You still have people that chase those 2-5 letter TLD's in those vanity domains still, not realizing that they might get mistaken for the big names.. but generally not. As for the vanity...

    WordPress to fire 16% of its employees

    It probably had some to do with it... but a lot of that may be due to the economy. I know a few folks that were running their sites on some offerings and they are getting where they can no longer afford to do so as beans & rice are more important to them than running a web site. If I had a...

    Postbit Information

    Depends on if you expand the area. By default vs expanded Style edits can be so much fun. ;)

    Contact page spam

    I believe that there is an option to allow captchas. If you are using captcha, then it should be enabled on the contact us page. Some of the old ones required the contact us page to not be in an overlay. I use Turnstile and get no contact spam even though I frequently see people attempting...

    Which hosting company you don't trust?

    Transfer over for the registrar to CloudFlare. I think the last 3 I registered (within the last month) was around $11.
