Why was there an extra 5,000 PMs sent in July?

I believe Neobond posted that there was a mass spammer sending PM's to random users.

JUL '08: 1,217 registrations, 6,245 new topics, 76,072 replies, 8,238 PM's sent and 2,139,545 topic views.

Numbers are up again on last month, the PM stats aren't totally accurate as it appears we had a spammer on July 11th which resulted in 5,113 messages sent for that day. Without that days totals it comes to 3,125 or 3,225 if you count the 100 PM's a day averages for the last 2 months (still down from last months 3,306 PM's sent).

Well done guys (Y)

I would think the definition of an active poster would be someone who is currently in discussions and debates around the forum, and takes part in the community, and isn't posting "lol" in every jokes and funny stuff thread, those I call spammers.

But in the end, it is the admins / mods choice on what to define as an active poster. Good luck to everybody :yes:

Wow... anything to make the posts huh? Bacon.. comon, it's all about Canadian Bacon :)

Just joking. I will give an update at the mid-month mark, or weekly, just to see if we are on target, and count down the last few thousand when the end of the month, or the 8,000,000 mark approaches, whatever comes first.

Free stuff is always good, though I already have Vista. Perhaps Neobond could arrange for Bill Gates to be put in a box and mailed to me? I could always use someone to talk to and fix my computer issues.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
