Hi @RandallC, do you still have the old files and db (any state) so the forum can be resurrected? shall we talk? :) the latest 2 dn forums I resurrected were forumndd and consultdomain (both were closed for at least 5 years).. happy to take over and to get all the historic content back online...

Very nice theme!! Clean and quality content forum. All the success!

no shame in business - all fair as long as no laws are broken and users are treated well :) .. reddit started with tonnes of fake users = that isn't cool :) .. I actually dig their idea :) curious to see where this will go.. a potential huge new client group > all the LLMs (established and the...

Hi, I introduced a simple law in all the domain name forums that we took over = don't insult others (come happy and leave happy). The UK crowd didn't seem to like the idea (I have to be honest that I made some stupid human mistakes). In the dnforum case - the largest poster "tested" me with...

ahh.. this reminds me of our German forum that is a total mess of categories :D :D

Most old people will have old computers > Google ads overload the use of RAM immediatelly Yes, most us us run monster machines > try opening your forum, probably overloaded with Google ads, on your mum's computer > it might freeze up the all browser. Sell the banner space to end users...

Good thread!! We are currently considering to migrate our 3 XF forums, currently running on dedicated servers, to a Kubernetes cluster (also to be set up on dedicated servers). Aim: to improve scalability and resource efficiency. This is especially important, as we keep improving (making more...
