Also, not learning the metric system is a choice

But how imuna know how many football fields something is? That seems like work

Just a casual observation here…..


…..remember back in the day, when people used to scour threads to learn new shit? You’d log on to a hundred or more likes, from someone reading your entire thread? That doesn’t seem to happen now. People follow along in relatively real time…and that’s about it….a few exceptions, of course.

So real talk here. I thought when we switched from .net to .org that we screwed the pooch. I didn't think we would come back from that. The issue at the time, was that I correlated us switching the site over to us losing all this momentum with the forum.

What I didn't realize was:

1. Covid changed the world. Period.
2. AI changed the world. Period.

And both of those things happened around the time of the domain change. Facebook and Instagram started to become more lax on their cannabis policies (even though they still don't make sense.) AI created "instant answers," where you don't even have to Google things anymore (which used to be the standard.) Now if I "google something," it creates the AI blurb at the time. If you believe it, and most do, they don't EVEN CLICK INTO A SINGLE LINK.

I started researching trends with other forums, not just cannabis forums, and guess what? Everyone is feeling the same thing. I don't want to use the word "we're being replaced by AI," but it's becoming such an "easy button" for anyone that it's tough to get people to go back to the old school ways of things.

But Facebook/IG still take down cannabis content regularly, still censor content, and AI is often WRONG lol. So we aren't irrelevant. We aren't fossils. We just have to find better ways to present our information and represent ourselves.

Gone are the days where you're going to see hundreds of members posting at a time on here, I hate to say it. It's not because we suck. It's because there's a whooooooooooole lotta options out there, and lots of "easy buttons" to press.

I have a request into the devs to run the image file optimizer.
I've also request to see if they can monitor our resources for a period of time, to see if they see anything spiking during certain activities.
I've sent them a copy of our error log that has some new errors I've never seen before.

Now we wait.

I had a website years ago where anybody could post stock charts. My hosting plan provided "unlimited storage" and "unlimited bandwidth." I got in trouble with the host for using too much of my "unlimited" bandwidth and storage. If somebody posted a 10 Mb file, and 100 people clicked on it at once, the server had to serve up 1,000 Mb of data at once. The host had trouble keeping up with the spikes in bandwidth. We wound up firing each other.

Definitely an issue here.

You can post up to 10 mb images, and I believe up to 10 per actual post. 10 replies per page, that's potentially 100 images on a single page load, at 10 mb a pop.

There are some cache add-on's we've never used that are very popular, maybe we need to bite the bullet on a few things we've gotten by with before without issue.
