The dreaded Oops message

[Vriende]

In addition there are some auto replacements that happen to posts (the scammers at…, some lady and her ai ghost writer, data mining ...

This forum does have its quirky Easter egg system, creative word substitutions for reasons some of which Zippity explained above.
I spend way more time searching on this forum than posting, and have found that just about everything has been answered at some time.
Perhaps I am a masochist, but I find it fun, like a puzzle to search those terms until I find the answer. It is all available.
I buy from a vendor rarely mentioned anymore -- the whole process in itself is a puzzle to use. It was fun figuring it out though.

I got to second this. This is one of only two forums I go to regularly now (the other has a bit of different focus). So many platforms and forums are impossible to read now because of the spam, AI, etc, content. And the folks here are a good group (we won’t get into the Smitter AI or not side thread). Well done.

Perhaps a masochist…perhaps just a bit neuro-spicy. I’m in the same camp. I think I read for 2 months before making my first post here. There is SO much good info that I didn’t have to publicly announce my ignorance, I just got to read a bunch.

And I think most things are available to dig up with a bit of time and creative searching, but not always all things. I had no clue who the lady with the AI ghost writer was until I found out on another forum. Turns out I’m no better off for knowing her name or for having read things she (or the LLM) have put out…so I’m content not knowing some of the other things for now, too.
