Anti-spam

https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2165690

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: 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...

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...
