I think I'm just too old and used to forums to click with something like Discord - can't make head or tail of the 'forum' function....and don't get me started on the 'robots'good to have a bloody forum again, I hate discord
Not totally until you update your pic to a BOK!Hi, I am back.
Thank you for the forum.
Thanks for the support.Welcome back.
I'm the admin at thegrotto.co.za. I've added you back to my SA forum list. I delete inactive forums from my list, but since you are back...
I've been running The Grotto using Xenforo since early 2020 and honestly it is a pain to use. If you guys need any advice feel free to ask, I'll likely have to go check my notes but I'll help where I can. It really is not an intuitive platform to run. @AfricanTech asked me how to get Tapatalk working, I have sent the info to him.
PS: you'll probably want HTTPS to be the default as Google punishes you for allowing HTTP as it is at the moment.
I've recently made it visible only to registered users (still free registration, no restrictions). Due to the AI bandwagon lots of companies are trying to do machine learning of their large language models (LLM) using forums/facebook/twitter/reddit etc as a source, loading the server. Where I used to have 10-20 registered users online vs 20-30 guests it spiked to 500-800 guests at any one time slowing down the server. Hopefully this fad passes and I can open it up again. You're likely to get the same as you grow...Thanks for the support.
PS: I am on The Grotto, but went on hiatus along with my other forums 18 months ago. I might pop in again![]()
this is the problem with newly resurrected sites - they sommer let anyone in....Awe masekinners.
Amen to that.good to have a bloody forum again, I hate discord
