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.

Tysm for posting your buys. It really sparked my interest and led me to find them. It's not rocket science. Just going vendor discords/tgs, ask around, go from there. I dunno. Can't really remember how I found everything now.

I don't do links as you know. It isn't hard, but I constantly get DM's from newbs wanting handouts and invites to GB. Myself and a few of the older member such as yourself will share some. I feel lucky to be "accepted" I guess you could say. I'm sick of the newbs wanting to be spoon feed. I use this a bunch in a silent reference to that.

My motto became: If you aren't living on Telegram (TG), what kind of life is it anyway, haha. But it was surprising how helpful people are on TG. Like if you find someone mentioning a GB group on TG, they will probably give an invite if you ask them nicely in DMs.
