@jaredbusch said in Where did they come from?: @wrcombs said in Where did they come from?: When if first joined ML there were no spammers (at least to my knowledge) where did they all come from? Why do companies push their employees to spam and such on Thread websites? Sounds like a great way to push people away from you product. Because it costs them next to nothing to spam hundreds of websites. And it only takes one sucker to click through and make that phone call to earn a profit. Yeah, some quick math... A full time spammer can be hired overseas for $300/mo. That's a MONTH. And that's high, $200 is definitely plausible. All they have to do is join websites, post pre-written spam copy. Simplest job ever. They can spam maybe 100 communities a day. That's 2,800 a month. Out of 2,800 posts, it would take maybe an average of five "customers" to cover the cost of that for really cheap software. Easy math.

FFS that is when I was planning to tag all my old threads.

@scottalanmiller said in Creating MangoLassi Podcast: That way we can make it separately, have some different content, have a central repository, etc. Okay, makes sense.

@dustinb3403 said in Copying Content from other sources: Here is a wonderful deployment! I want some of that vine-themed network cable.

@tim_g said in January 5, 2018 Platform Update: @scottalanmiller said in January 5, 2018 Platform Update: Still working well this morning. So much memory overhead available now, it doesn't know what to do with itself. Was it suffocating before the move? Not at all.

@nerdydad Time to purge everything

Or better yet, go into your settings and turn off watching as a default.

@gjacobse said in NodeBB 1.2 Released: I rather expected this to sort itself out,.. but it hasnt. Right clicking and opening the image as a new tab gets me this: Yet when I right click on the second avatar, I get Scott's mug. The custom topic icon is MIA.

1.1.2 looks good as well.

@JaredBusch said in Muting or ignoring threads: @scottalanmiller said in Muting or ignoring threads: @thwr said in Muting or ignoring threads: That's a very important feature in case ML is getting bigger. It should default to no alerting at all but let you subscribe to some threads. Exactly like SW. Everything else is a notification overkill. I think that it does that. Both let you turn on subscribe by default or subscribe manually only. Did you change the new user default notification to be off? At one point the default for new users was on. Default is currently email responses to subscribed threads, same as Spiceworks. Uses can manually change it to whatever they want. And they can change how subscribes work. Right now, if you respond to a thread, you get subscribed. My feeling on that is that it is important for casual or new users to have it like that or they post and forget and they don't realize that we have responded or can't find their thread again. Those that are around a lot can easily make the change and customize. I'm certainly open to other ideas, but I've thought about this around expectation and practicality and it seems like getting responses by default for new users is important. Thoughts?

@thwr said in NodeBB: Bug with fullscreen youtube player: @JaredBusch sorry, didn't see that. not complaining. search here is horrid. Just reinforcing your new thread that, yes, the video player sucks.

A month in and Linode is still rocking it!

@DustinB3403 reported one, but I believe that that one was fixed.

Lag is definitely better.

@scottalanmiller said: @Jason said: looks like the source images are missing Oh, that would make sense. One of the many problems with hosting the images here. No, that would be a problem with the upgrade. An upgrade should not affect something like that. If it does then there is a bad flow in the upgrade process.

@johnhooks said: @scottalanmiller If you can't find one, I can make a couple. I do some logo junk for fun so it shouldn't be too hard or take too long. That would be awesome.

In general, avoid the www. Sockets seem to fail when using it.

@Minion-Queen said: @Dashrender said: @Minion-Queen said: Hey guys.... Why is anyone looking for me on a Weekend? I am never around on the weekends... I have a life outside of ML and IT What? say it isn't so! This weekend was a double Gig one so not around and not enough sleep either It's all good, as most here probably know - unless I'm working, I'm probably not on ML on the weekends either.

Nice job!

@gjacobse said: I have mine off. I spend enough time here,.. I off mine long time ago.

Thank you both that is so awesome!

@scottalanmiller said: @JaredBusch said: Why doesn't the right side add float? Simply because you jacked it into a space that doesn't? It's in the space that the platform provides for it and that widget does not float. It's used as intended and by design, unfortunately floating is not a feature of that space. The widget upgrades are on hold per NodeBB until after the 1.0 release which they hope will be in Janaury. interesting on their part. I mean it is not like advertising should be a surprise. Unless you are charging for access, you generally have to use add revenue in some fashion to offset costs. There is no way that they should now know that and so much or the rest of the design seems so solid and natural that not having a floating add space in the design just blows my mind.
