@Peatly I also strongly recommend using peatbot.com/search which is where I spend most of my time while using the website.

As @ThinPicking alluded to, I welcomed a newborn into this world last week and along with my business and other personal matters have been pressed for time. In general, I try to be as non-authoritarian as possible in running this forum. I would hope in general we can find ways to work out our differences in an amicable way without trying to invoke my authority by proxy.

I do think the fairest solution to this particular matter would be to restore the thread and take out the author’s posts or any quoted posts that refer to them. When I have some free time, I can do so.

As a general rule, you shouldn’t trust anything on the internet will last. I could become evil or go insane (like the RPF admins before me, for reasons that I’m beginning to appreciate) at any time. If you want to ensure something is preserved, preserve it yourself.

@ThinPicking I added a rule so that after 10 posts in a thread, it cannot be deleted by the author. I hope this serves as a reasonable middle ground.

@Buckian Not currently. We're working on it.

@existence We're working on Europe. We'll let you know when it's available

@existence we’re working on it. Can’t make any promises given the regulatory rules you all have adopted over there. What country in particular?

@ThinPicking I will NOT pay the SaaS companies. I will NOT put in my CC details.

They hate me. They're calling me a cheap freeloader. @Kilgore @ThinPicking

@ThinPicking No, I'm using a hosted version, so I don't have root on the server. I do have access to the admin console of the nodebb instance though.

@ThinPicking @Kilgore I'm not self hosting. If someone else would like to host I can use their server. I just don't want to deal with another server right now. My account will be suspended tomorrow - we'll see what happens with the service.

@Kilgore Also - I don't think I can go with this solution as it requires me to host a server (not going to do that) or pay for their API (which at our traffic level would be quite pricey). Best bet might be patching this: https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-embed/issues/45

@brad @Kilgore Looks like it's working, somewhat. Not sure why that tweet didn't load. I installed it and got an API key.

@Kilgore I replied on that thread - thanks for the pointer - but that plugin isn't maintained to the point of not being compatible with the current nodebb version. https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-embed/issues/45

@ThinPicking Wow - somehow missed this! I can't install that plugin because it's out of date. https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-embed/issues/45

If you can fix this issue and make it installable I'll gladly add it.

@Kilgore I don't know. Maybe there's a plugin. If you find it I'll install

@Kilgore You can add a picture of the tweet and a link. Not sure how to do anything more advanced.

@onliest For the inevitable legal exhibit this post will appear in I would like to state for the record that we do not endorse drinking bloo. This is an example of what could happen if you drank the whole bag: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sylqJ0NEVJw

@onliest You can get a version without MB!

@bluearchivehate When your government approves our application. It's been with them for like 45 days now I think.
