(don't know what that is) but alright ha. Yah i bought it. Twice... Once a couple years ago and again recently. I was kinda upset to have found my account exspired. But oh well.

are you implying that this is an illigal forum?

Seems odd someone would pay 150 bucks for a small forum community, when you can get something just a little under par for free and does the same thing.

Another odd thing is that all your posts on your main page dates August 18th, 2008... which, correct me if I'm wrong, hasn't been put to the past yet?

One more: You have no Copyright/Powered By of VBulletin on your forums. May just be the theme, but I'm pretty sure 99.99% of all forum themes include the copyright, otherwise yea... its illegal.

Should be something like this:
Code:
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
Powered by vBulletin&reg; Version 3.7.2<br />Copyright &copy;2000 - 2008, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->

At the bottom of your page.

Don't take this personally, P/O'd at something and I feel like taking it out on you <3

Alright I'll clear everything you said up...


1. Yah, well my intention when buying it is that my goal isn't a small community. Sure $150 is a lot, but not really to me. I have spendable money like that. I bought vbull a few years ago, and it expired. So i renewed my account and downloaded it again. I never liked php forums and invison. But vbulletin was always my favorite.

2. Thank you I did not see this error. The site was intended to go up on the 18th, but I opened it earlier. Must have forgot to make those changes.

3. Yah its the style as you said. If you go to the "original" style you will see it at the bottom of the page. But I don't think you can be guest to view other templates.


I hope this clears things up. Thinking I got the vbull files illegally is the last thing I want. It sucks to buy something and have people think you stole it.

All I can say to that is... well... Duh?

And fix it before someone else notices.

I don't even know how it was brought up, but if people can remotely start thinking about that... that's a bad start.

I have spendable money like that.

Send some my way, I'll give you my PayPal account lol

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    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
  • 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
