I'd like to state something that I don't think has been stated before, but may put some of you guys worrying about the activity of this forum at ease...

This forum gets quiet around the same time every year... The end of the school year and the very beginning. Winter tends to have some more activity as people go on Winter Breaks from school, be it HS or College. Then, the summer is always the MOST active because, well... There really isn't much school at all.

So is this forum "dying"? No. Never was.

It's just taking a nap :rolleyes:

Two cents from someone who's been here for 6 years now :)

Hmm... There may be some miscommunication. Re-reading my post, I am still confused where "stop creating content" came across, but allow me to elaborate :D

That message was merely to stop any worrying that the section is going down the tubes or is in danger of being shut down; It's not. We do this every year.

By NO MEANS did that, does that, will that ever mean "Don't create more content" or "stop finding new ways to bring in activity". As a member of this site's staff for 6 years, I think it'd be pretty silly for me to say such a thing; Never did, NEVER will. Please don't read things the wrong way.

I was, after all, just trying to be helpful :rolleyes:

Please note; any sarcasm found in this post is completely meant in good fun. Despite the fact that I am, in all honesty, a jackass doesn't mean I was trying to be one here :rolleyes:

Freaking midterm season here. Will need to wait before continuing any stories.

Here's a more helpful tip for this "group"

You want to inspire activity? Attack every piece of work that comes through this forum. If someone posts a poem or a story or even something about a book, make sure every single member of this group posts within 24 hours with something to say.

And not just one-word responses like "Neat!" or even "I like this" but make sure every single person says something, something meaningful. Don't let a single person ever post here and feel like their work is going unnoticed or unappreciated.

I bet if that starts happening on the norm that people will begin posting more often and eventually more people will come... Either through word of mouth or just constantly seeing new posts appearing in this forum.

It'll be irresistible :)

God damn it, Seth! I'm a writer, not a commenter.

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats

    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
