    What do you guys think about discourse?

    That's not what I see. I see pre-emptive damage control, and an attempt to control the narrative, for what would have been made public almost immediately by those fired had they not said anything.

    What do you guys think about discourse?

    It's a shame that instead of being plainly honest, they dressed it up with euphemisms such as "saying goodbye" along with plenty of flowery language about how this is a good thing.

    XF 2.3 Xenforo DDos Plugin ?

    Unless the bots are registered users, or you allow guest uploading, they should not be able to upload.

    Add-on Where do you stand on selling addons to Russian businesses?

    "Sanctions work" is not the absolute I said. What I did was show your absolutes, aren't absolute: "Sanctions (or bombs) don't motivate people against the government (any more than they already are motivated)." I gave examples where they have. "From my first hand experience, I've concluded...

    XF 3 General Information & Discussion

    You haven't seen phpBB, SMF, Flaurum, and the majority of forum software? I've done hundreds of migrations to Xenforo and less than a dozen have asked to migrate their calendar. Just because you think it's an important feature, doesn't mean it is to most people. Why should they put their energy...

    Do you use Cloudflare?

    You're not telling me something I don't already know. I've made note of warrant canaries since the mid-early 2000s. Cloudflare has finer grained canaries than most - listing things they don't do - and when one of those things disappears you know law enforcement forced them. Not using...

    No, your point was understood. It’s the sanctified packaging that was unnecessary.

    It's too bad this has turned into the Spanish Inquisition with @Ferry questioning another person's motivations, standards, principles and morals.

    Add-on Where do you stand on selling addons to Russian businesses?

    It's easy to make such statements when you're not the one faced with possible legal ramifications by doing business with someone in an embargoed country. While it's probably okay because it fits under non-advanced, and civilian use, the cost of consulting an attorney for a definitive answer is...

    Users not receiving confirmation emails. Used to work just fine.

    At the very least, run your host's origin IP address through a multi-rbl lookup: https://www.anti-abuse.org/multi-rbl-check/ https://multirbl.valli.org/

    Do you use Cloudflare?

    Respectfully, what I'm reading from you is a cynical view with unsupported assumptions. Cloudflare already has 82% of the reverse proxy market share, and 20% of all websites go through them. Rather than abusing their market position, I've seen them increase efforts at transparency, and they are...

    They are in fact correct that Google's services can be a privacy violation. For that matter, visiting any website their web server logs can have sites people are visiting from, what browser is used (and in many cases, the browser's plug-ins), IP addresses and from IP addresses, geo-location.

    Do you use Cloudflare?

    I know this, but do you seriously think they would use this to for any purpose other than handling the WAF and other features? If so, the FBI and many major companies would not be using them to protect their websites and other infrastructure. There are inexpensive DDOS services people can rent...
