What do you mean by "active"? When the 8 millionth post is made, does the person have to be in the "active poster list" (the one on the board index) or can they just have posted within the last 24 hours?

We don't know. :shiftyninja:

I am guessing it is someone who is a regular active poster on here.

Well I'm not the one making the rules, but I can only assume it excludes people that haven't signed in for a while, one-post-wonders, etc. Basically, we don't want to give it to somebody who doesn't contribute or who won't actually realize they've won anything because they're hardly ever on or never participate.

Post count won't make a difference, nor will posts per day. After all, the community is more about quality than quantity.

But your spam is mighty ;)

Oh well, at least they wont ban Audio for that underage pic until October 1st. They couldn't risk a spammer strike.

Edit: just read gigapixels post about "Quality not quantity". Looks like your out Rappy :p I like your new avatar btw :)

Yeah thats why I am nothing more then a subscriber which in turn I love being :)

Most forum software (IPB being no exception) include tools for cleaning out old users, users who haven't logged in for a while and such. Everyone else is considered "active" and that's almost certain to be the group that wins the copy of vista.

So if you're reading this thread and you havne't logged in for oh...say 6months, log in NOW.

Hey now, Rappy's a cool guy :) and I think he's made quite a good contribution to the site.

He just tends to post more in the non-tech areas, which is fine by me ;)

    • 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
    • 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.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • 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 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.
