    Do you have a Facebook Group?

    Not a group.. but I do have a page. https://www.facebook.com/astrowhat.forum I find a page more conducive to a forum than a group would be. The group would probably be better served by a blog. And I really need to spend more time pushing content to my page.. I honestly simply forget about it...

    Forum Bandwidth

    I use CF also.. but for many of the files that are obtained from my site, they do not cache them on their free tier. This is just in the last 24 hours... and realize.. that encompasses ZERO user posts on the site. As you can see... the majority of my inbound traffic goes to resources (many...

    Raffle image input

    I recently purchased a raffle add-on and a credits add-on (DBTech and their footer blurb REALLY sucks) to use for the site. Users will accumulate credits by posting and similar. The raffle add-on I am using (originally from Snogs then taken over by Ozzy47 and no under the control of Painbaker)...

    We are a simple site for those interested in the areas of astronomy and astrophotography to gather. We strive to cater to the beginner up to the advanced user. We have no ads on the site as we are currently supported solely by the owner. We offer several different areas of interest in...

    Using Two Domains

    No, I am not. Domain masking (or URL masking/domain cloaking) is another issue .. The simplest explanation for what is legitimate is you are sending traffic from one domain (or subdomain) to a primary domain that is consistent in its URL. There is no "masking" involved unless one wants to get...

    Using Two Domains

    @frm my response was to what you quoted from my post and replied to. So saying that 301/302 rewrites are prohibited is incorrect. Hosting the same site on individual URL's and that makes it appear the site is different domains is prohibited without additional licenses. That is what got several...

    Using Two Domains

    Again, yes you can. But with most of the paid scripts you have will have to do a 301/302 rewrite and it still be the base domain. As an example, I purchased a domain to use for a local astronomy group to remap to a part of my site that is for their use and was going to be managed by a friend...

    No it does not really suck for SEO

    Even when related to threads. I posted a thread related to the Meade 35-4700-00 AutoStar controller LCD replacement and it ranked well in less than 24 hours.. I did add the AutoStar into the thread title after I created it.. so Google may take a bit to update. But doing some checks in various...

    Using Two Domains

    incorrect If you 301/302 rewrite astrowhat.org -> astrowhat.com astrowhat.net -> astrowhat.com You are serving ALL your content off one domain, the astrowhat.com. You are not "showing" them as individual domains. You are simply using a 301 or 302 rewrite to send traffic to the primary domain...

    Forum Software Drama Killing Forums

    The attitude on a support site can kill peoples desire to participate, thereby reducing the odds of them going to the site for support. That can result in someone not liking the script eventually. A friend of mine is in that exact position.

    Using Two Domains

    Do you mean serving the site so it shows as a different domain in the browser address bar? Or do you mean having multiple domain names that resolve back to a master domain name via rewrites? My Astro site answers on astrowhat.com, astrowhat.net and astrowhat.org. It used to do the same for...

    As AI kills search traffic, Google launches Offerwall to boost publisher revenue

    And what of sites that have no desire to obtain revenue from wha they offer the public? The AI BS is killing them also. And honestly, I'm pretty sure there are a lot more of them than "give us money" type sites.

    Do you like your forum domain name?

    It's hard to now find decent names that are short and descriptive in the COM/NET/ORG TLD's. So yes, I am happy with my primary site and even some of my other sites I spun up to just mess with different scripts. I really need to do more on my Chrono Collectors site as watches and clocks seem to...

    Forum Software Drama Killing Forums

    I don't know if I would go that far. But some scripts have their core sycophants that will defend their choice poison until they are blue in the face, even which confronted with facts that negate their position. They seem to take personal offense if you say anything negative about their chosen...

    Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    I think some may be under the misunderstanding that I "hate" SaaS. I do not. There is a time and a place for it... for some people. For me, that time and place will have to be WAY down the road when I reach the point that I cannot do it myself - and by that time I probably won't care about the...

    Looks so much better than most Xenforo sites do. It is well done.

    Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    That's why I said "each to their own". What works for me does not necessarily work for others. I would not expect someone that was brand new to Linux to administer a VPS/server. But I don't see the issue for someone that has been working with it since Linus released his first public kernel...

    Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    Yah... just tonight in that "plenty of time" I set up 6 MeLe's for a local company, trouble shot tracking issues on two of my astro rigs and worked on 2 articles (not released yet) and 3 reviews as well as replaced the back of the ETX-125EC with a solid aluminum one instead of the plastic to...

    Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    Maybe because they can't be "easily combined into one" for a reasonable price (like a large dedicated server running ProxMox or a similar VM solution)? Discourse, using their supported docker install is a standalone installation. Yes, you can futz around with putting nginx in front as a proxy...
