I've got a plugin for this that I probably need to release. I'll tell you I battled this for a long while and it gets way more complicated than Cloudflare sometimes. If you don't have cloud fire set up right it will bypass your domain and just use the IP address to access your content but that...

Yes that's very good that you did that. It's good that you made it available to everyone. Perhaps at the time I should have researched a little bit more but I didn't find that or I didn't realize it was free or something like that. And my question to you is what would be wrong with Xenforo...

Yes I admit I probably should not have used the word duplicate as that word is a little too strong. But what I'm saying is virtually any mod that has ever been published is pretty easy to "insert best work here" And capture the same functionality without copying the mod exactly. As I said I made...

Copying/duplicating an idea like a traffic radar to track and block bots would not be copyright infringement if the code is not copied, and overall it is a new/different mod but achieves similar goals. Mod developers do this all the time. And with AI we can do exactly the same thing. An...

Yes, This happens with a lot of software products. You get a lot of mod developers who are in essence gatekeepers where you can't really get everything unless you buy more. And for the developers of the software they can't add these same features even if they would be great for everybody. They...

Yes I hear you. But do you feel like mod developers should be able to own parts of the real estate says that the only way to get that type of modification is through the developer? And what if it is easy not to copy them exactly but just to make your own version using AI which I already did in...

A similar thing happened to me on phpLD. It started out that mod developers and theme developers offered things for free but increasingly they started to rule things. If there was a design idea they had, it would be really bad for us to copy it in the release. If there was modification that...

It’s still involves a lot of testing. And things that are done the first time are not always good enough and have to be done again. But the latest models are certainly cutting the time needed to reach a viable product. If I were to rebuild this forum software using AI, I would expect to get to...

Absolutely, and what's great about forums is there not like social media. If you post today it's not going to be buried in two days. And there's a wealth of knowledge in the forums. Even if AI can copy all of that come in replacement for communities that have their own user base and knowledge...

No offense but I think this opinion is going to become a minority quickly. AI is here to stay. It outperforms humans when it comes to software development. But you absolutely need hum involved in the creation of the software and that's not going to change anytime soon.

Fair enough. It's good to see the discussion taking place what would be the best methods to refactor/modernize xenforo. The key point here is with enough consultation with a frontier AI model, large improvement could be made quickly. Failing to start using AI bring xenforo into the modern era I...

Codex can handle it no problem. I'm not saying you're gonna knock it out in a week. Definitely not. But you can upgrade everything to the latest software over the course of a few months especially someone knowledgeable like you. There's no need to write code yourself anymore. I just upgraded a...

To me it would be so fun to use AI to make the next version of this software. It could be done in a few months. And it would be so much better. Probably you'd want to run it off of Laravel and React Native and it would be really cool to use and easy to upgrade. I thought about just doing it...

Oh yes I don't like paying for bots to use up my site resources. I developed my own plugin using Chatgpt and I have audit all the traffic each day and make recommendations for how we can limit the bots even further. It's working really good. I probably should replace I probably should release...

It's actually been kind of fun Now. I've got my own little plug in that I made and I don't blanketly block China But I've got so many different ways to profile them now and classify them and automatically block them as soon as I have enough information on them. My server if it had emotions would...
