I ask GPTchat this question: What is the future of online community forums scripts such as Xenforo and vBulletin? Do you think they will rise as they were on years from 2000 to 2010? The answer was:

I was able to solve the problem after reading this article: https://www.vpsbasics.com/security/how-to-block-bad-bots-using-modsecurity-with-directadmin I don't have any control panel, I run my VPS with command line, so I made my own modification on the article method to suit my needs...

I noticed the past 2 weeks unexpected very high visitors traffic (50,000 +) and 90% of them viewing unknown page. What kind of traffic is this? What can I do to fix this issue? My forums running normally and there is no high load on my VPS

I run it by command line , mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DBNAME < backup.sql On Xenforo2.2.12 and Mariadb10.6

I am going to dump cPanel and will not use any kind of control panels and run my server manually by terminal command line.

How I would know if the LAMP I am installing is beta or stable?

I thought control panels like cPanel and Cyberpanel install LAMP stack with their installation process. I am I right?
