    Hello all. Just a quick post to announce that we'll be having some downtime on the forums and website tomorrow due to maintenance from 9AM until early afternoon (17/08/2017).

    Setup a webcam overlooking your desk and run a live feed on the website, then we can all watch you. :grin:

    Praise be to the almighty Doge @MLyons for resurrecting the site!

    I presume it wasn't just me earlier right?

    Some AI slop ***** are spamming the **** out of the forums.
    As you can probably guess this isn't legit.

    Don't get me wrong, I love this forum but I find it odd AI slop would take any interest in it.

    Do you think it detected that there wasn't enough arguing or hatred somewhere on the internet and decided to attack?

    They'll pull anything from anywhere all the time. They're absolutely desperate for training data. They're also convinced that if they just make their model that little bit bigger, it will become Artificial General Intelligence.

    It will not, but that doesn't stop 'em clogging up the web!
