The bot problem cannot be solved. Even if you strongly authenticate, people are letting bots act on their behalf. and what's to stop people doing that in the future. Build your identity and reputation autonomously with the benefits that come with that. The dead internet theory is probably not...

It’s just another year, yet same song and dance @smallwheels … same song and dance. 🥱

That doesn’t help anyone mate.

It’s not about a dramatic increase in sales. It’s about consumer confidence in the long run to keep supporting the brand. Tesla was brought up as an analogy, and that company doesn’t have this issue. IMO that’s the main issue right now for Xenforo. More and more people seem to be leaving each...

A 2026 Telsa model Y for example is a new product compared to its 2025 Tesla model Y. So yes - they are shipping new products yearly. (As I originally said). More importantly, there is little question that Tesla is actively developing, manufacturing, and delivering at scale. That is the...

Difference is, Tesla is still shipping new products yearly. And there isn’t much concern about the Tesla company and their roadmap of funding and staying in business. Lots of concerns here, is more of the latter and not wanting to see XF die out as a company.

As they have been telling us for years... instead of being optimistic and concerned. You need to find a new hobby. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-2-4-status-and-whats-new-under-the-hood.231562/post-1757100

Ask yourself if reading 90% AI bot written content and messages sounds appealing to you? I know to me, that is flat out depressing and "dystopian nightmare" feeling. Most of us enjoy still interacting... or atleast believing we are still interacting with actual human beings. I would imagine the...

The future of AI bot written responses and articles everywhere you look - is not going to help at all in this regard either…

Been saying this for years here tbh… yet certain users have bashed others for simply expressing this opinion. There’s so much Xenforo could do to modernize and bring more excitement back into stock forum software again.

Dont we all... aka why some of us have "spoken up" the last couple years about the state of affairs. Its just sad to see IMO the way things are today, but maybe we are getting old.

I agree. But think about the dystopia this AI stuff is going to create in the next 50 years. Every piece of content eventually is going to be 90% AI generated, and it’s just really depressing to me. I don’t enjoy talking to or reading messages from bots when I am online.

I hate what the internet has become tbh…

Smallwheels is a secret XF staff member? It all makes sense now…
