Yes yes yeysyseyseysyeyy X10 to the power of 10*10 + 2!!!! (something like 15)

I think the helper is very useful but it should be an option for people to be able to meet and help others solely on thehelper so no private info is displayed.

Also more people would be able to say up front "uh you dont get wht im askin for" and it would be (i think) quicker help, and more useful.

Annnnnnnnd in forums we are limited by not getting signatures and such so we are limited on the ammount we can express ourselves and our individuallity/personalitys. (To a degree varying with peoples)

Besides no one has had a taste of my nutter antics, which might taste quite good!

could be good, with people helping faster...but, the channels could be flooded with noobs, also there would be a un-modderated spam attacks/huge arguements.

We can put some mods on the channel and kick all the spammers and ban them or we can get a flood bot when ppl type too fast and spam it tells them to slow down just like battle.net

Wow you guys must be psychic or something. We have something like that planned for the beginning of next year but we are going to need our dedicated server to do it. Stay tuned.

Neat, jsut gonna spill out some ideas... it should be members only!

I dont think we should have to help guests unless they take the time to establish themselves as needing help, not like most guests where they come to get ask a question and expect someone to take the time to answer it.

Maybe a system to ban people who have been abusive on it too... could be great but problematic.

Make the chat server style exacly like the vBulletin we have here so we feel more comfortable with it instead of having a different theme.

General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • 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
  • 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
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    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.
