    Forums that logout your account frequently?

    Only until I became the IT director for that city. A lot of things changed then. And a lot of employees griped that their screens would be locked after 10 minutes of no activity and they had to sign back in. On the dumb terminals and on the Windows machines. We found a vendor that had...

    Forums that logout your account frequently?

    For financial ones, it is more a security related issue. There are still people that go into a public library and access their web based accounts on those computers. Some of them even forget to sign out when they walk away.

    Generally you find this happening when someone has used a disposable email address that either has expired or that they don't remember the credentials of. That's the point I was making. If their content was important enough to them, then they should not have any issues with sending in...

    Sarcasm doesn't carry well on the internet. But honestly, if they have lost their email account (or let it get trashed and deleted) or they can't remember their credentials, they can set up a new account. If... and that is a big IF... they can later confirm that their old account is the same...

    Remember the old saying... as it does apply. Time IS money. I have no issues with someone timing out a connection with 30 minutes of no activity. Where this really hits hard also is on those cheap shared hosting plans that only allow XX number of MySQL connections. So yes, whether you like it...

    That should never happen on a correctly set up site. As an example, all my inbound rewrites happen at the CF level even before it gets to my server, so the connectinig people are always SSL and the base domain name. Even prior to setting it up that way, nginx redirected all inbound traffic...

    What addiction is the hardest to quit?

    People will talk about heroin, cocaine, tobacco and multipole other drugs. But honestly, one of the hardest addictions to quite from talking to a few "**** mongering" friends has been sex. It is so easy to find, not expensive and a quick "get off" that they have had a hard time walking away...

    Porkbun login.

    Well, I did not have to pay a "Fee" to transfer my domain from NameSilo to CloudFlare to NameSilo. But I did have to renew the registration for an additional year with CloudFlare, which was coming due soon for them anyway. But the fee I am talking about is the one you have to pay to "buy" your...

    Resource conservation. Remember, Invision used to price their SaaS hosting by number of active user connections (they no longer do this). Xenforo currently uses connected users as part of their metrics for determining what tier you pay for. I'm not sure what Woltlab or vBulletin do for their...

    Where it becomes fun is when someone that has used one of those cheap hosting providers decide they want to move and find out they can't transfer the domain without paying a "special fee" to purchase it from the hosting provider. I have seen that happen a few times.

    I really don't think doing your domain registration and DNS with CloudFlare is a big negative. They don't provide hosting so you are generally going to be looking elsewhere for that. I do agree that doing your hosting, domain registration and DNS with all the same provider is not recommended...

    Not fast enough pipe. I get as fast now from my cable provider. But you want true bi-directional speeds with minimal ping times. Starlink is great for a remote observatory, but not something I would want to run a server off of. And by the time you pay for the "business class" you can usually...

    Security feature of trusting a device for 30 days

    Yes, but in addition to the standard software since I use XF I also have the passkeys enabled. I have seen a few sites push that out to either 45 or 60 days. I am one that pushes it to 45 days. I figure if the user is going to be smart enough to use additional security, I could extend their...

    Why use Porkbun when you can use CloudFlare and get many of the same features, if not more? I've moved almost every one of my domains over to CF now. I think it was like $10 each to transfer (and extend) my .COM domains.

    Better Off Topic Sections

    That's one of the target goals of Ideology Central. Hopefully it will be a place to give folks the chance to at least read, if not actually participate, where communications with others is paramount. Everyone (not only in the US) needs to try to get back to the philosophy that we have to work...

    It would have to be the former as to the latter, I have notices in the RM and such that state that guests have full access. It doesn't really bother me as the ones that register but are likely spammers are fairly easy to weed out and watch.

    One of my favorite things about Linux (besides the stability) was the Tux characters. For computer geeks, it will probably be recognized 100 years from now.

    Would you sell your forum if you got a reasonable offer?

    The price would have to be well more than what would probably be offered. So I doubt I'd ever sell mine. It's taken a lot of time and effort to get it to where it is at and I enjoy it too much (doing the tweaking and related stuff). Some people look at their site as a source of income...

    What did you drink last?

    Yeah it has been weird. Here it is barely the start of February and we already have crickets around in the yard and the dandelions are popping up right and left. Normally I don't put weed & feed out until the end of February middle of March. But too late now.

    Getting sick

    errr... yeah. As your body ages stuff that it basically ignored when you were younger becomes more apparent. That is simply a core fact of getting older. We are never as "snappish" as we were 10 years ago, and any that claim otherwise are usually lyiing. This is even more apparent as we age...
