Phpbb can be configured to automatically flag the first N posts from a new account as moderated so DT can be spared the embarrasment of looking like a new heaven for spambots. Of course this change must be done by an administrator.

Re: Future of DT
I'd somehow managed to gloss over the comment about the monthly costs of an adequate server equipped with "64GB" of RAM and a "2023 ... processor". For sure DT doesn't need anything that heavy specs-wise; good grief. Talk about overkill. It has been many moons since I've shopped around for one so co...

I'm an email admin (been doing my own mail for 17 years, did it for a university before we went Google) and yeah this is stupidly easy to fix.

Re: Future of DT
I'm up for doing it as a community group buy. My only two requirements for when we get it back are the following:
1. Not moving the forum away from phpBB
2. Not moving the wiki away from MediaWiki

Thanks for that. How about this spam post, which I neutralised but otherwise left intact: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=518381#p518381 Its id doesn't show up on your list, and DT's phpBB does indeed hide its hideous little size=1 text.

Re: The mystery of DT's new owner - SOLVED
All true. We could have had a lot more painful drama here. What made the Club fail? I checked out due to bereavement so didn't witness the event. Was it a money thing? Did the transfer of DT's ownership to the Club actually take place? Why was the DT Club wrapped up? I do remember Matt3o's heroic mi...

CoolerMaster should only stay within their limits here. Keep making the HAF styled cases because I love them to bits but stay away, from anything related to KEYBOARDS.

It is a little bit more complicated than deciding to grab a pack of cigarettes of course. This was my love and I put 10 years into it. You don't even.

the reason we are not happy with it (IMHO), is because of the outcome, not so much the decision itself We're rehashing things because of the outcome, but I think I'm speaking for many people saying that the dissatisfaction was there as soon as this thread started, if not sooner.

Text content is/was probably public domain, but it was vaguely stated by webwit on Discord right before the ownership transfer that all content is "CC" (no version specified): The wiki content was regarded open source (CC) but we lazily never formalised it For text, it's probably more bound to be p...

Aye, that's the spirit. A bit of experimenting should establish whether you can hit the sweet spot.
