I just signed up, I'm French and there are French forums on the subject but I'm playing solidarity so I chose Synoforum! Ha ha, I did not register just for fun, I have a problem with the installation of a NAS at work and I have already received answers and leads to solve it.
On the other hand, I find the forum really well organized, the style fits perfectly with the subject, well done Mr @BassMan !

I don't know what user ID I signed up under, but I left a review on the DS620slim a month or two ago.

It's been a week since we've been testing and experimenting with the ChatGPT add-on on SynoForum.com.
We call our new staff member SynoBOT.
However, I have to say that the interest among our (mostly) IT members is very low. All our most active members have seen it but will not try it out. Ok, some are enthusiastic, but that's pretty much it.
Besides, I have to say that some of the responses from this bot are quite good. However, I prefer human interaction on the forums, so we may retire this bot after the trial period. We may offer it to Subscribers, but we're not sure about that yet. We certainly won't be filling our forum with bot posts. I don't think forums are meant for that. But for now, at least it's a bit of fun.
You can see some of the interactions here:

And our announcement of a new staff member:

Oh, and one more thing, we are about to celebrate our 4th anniversary (early April). I'm very excited

We've added a great addition to SynoFourm.com - @Siropu's Ads Manager: https://www.synoforum.com/promotions/
We will maintain a controlled ad system on the forum to help cover some of the forum costs. In any case, we will not flood the forum with ads.
@OECK has already posted a sponsored thread: https://www.synoforum.com/threads/oeck-a-next-gen-vpn-service-50-off-synoforum-discount.10768/

And we are retiring this ChatGPT bot. I guess this is not for SynoForum. Extremely low interest from our members.
But as I already stated in the quote above, I actually like it that way.

Stop making me feel old!SynoForum.com is celebrating its 5th anniversary!
I hate to say it, but my Synology runs so well that I've rarely had a need to visit! Still rocking my somewhat new DS620j with three SSDs so far (two 8TB...those weren't cheap, and I'll need another one soon).

Great to hear that!

And I feel so much better about not running spinning hard drives 24/7 anymore. This runs cooler, is dead quiet, and one particular application I use on another network computer now responds almost instantly thanks to the faster NAS and the SSDs.
