XenForo has revoked our license

[Lord of the Large Pants]

The hell did Vordy threaten them with?

 

[Slav Power]

i thought rust was for trannies

Every single major software project is filled with trannies, good luck using anything not related to them.

 

[Stasi]

It sucks real hard some nutjob can complain about us hard enough to get people to cave. At least in this case, losing the software license doesn't seem like that big of a blow.

Its crazy when you consider its literally some spastic on bennies with no influence or sway over anyone or anything. He must be really good at writing scary sounding emails. I don't know when exactly, but at some point businesses lost the ability to say "fuck off dickhead" to these people, or I guess at the very least just ignore them. Are they all that paranoid of getting bad PR because of what some loon in the middle of nowhere in England says?

rust seems like such a cool/powerful language glad to see its getting more market shares

 

[Ronnie McNutt]

It is, which is why picking Rust will objectively cause the most anal pain and hilarity.

fair enough, can't wait for the rustfags to go nigmode over some shitposters forum

Rust in this case is used in place of PHP, and C++/C# are not PHP replacements.

I've never heard of Rust being a straight replacement for PHP. PHP is interpreted, Rust is compiled, so you obviously can't just patch it in. Theoretically any compiled language should serve as an equally valid replacement.

I know a lot of people are going from PHP to Rust, but they never really seem to know why. They just do it because it's what's done. If you want to learn Rust, more power to you, I'd just like to hear the exact reasoning behind it.

 

[Chongqing]

Thank you for everything, Null.

 

[Mr. Manchester]

If this ends up making videos load faster I'll send Sam a friendly email thanking him.

 

[Twinkletard]

Oh, this guy is british. Now it makes sense.

How is Rust a PHP replacement but C++/C# isn't?
And why are you lumping fundamentally different languages like C++ and C# together?

Rust would probably be a lot harder to DDoS on a request basis, if written well, due to less CPU load and lower latency. They could still DDoS on bandwidth, though. I've wondered for a while if only announcing IPv6 subnets would help on that front, with IPv4 only clients being able to connect through Cloudflare.

Isn't that guy a literal child pornographer? Very problematic of XenForo to be in league with child pornographers. Will not buy their product ever.

 

[Another Sperg on the Net]

If you don't have a name for this project yet may I humbly suggest Internet Tranny Murder Machine TM

 

[Hitman One]

Will my precious Internet sticker points be preserved when we move to new lebenstraum? This is very important please respond kind sir.

 

[Shitted Scaredless]

You can't kill kiwis

 

[Gimmick Account]

Or cost Null 1000s of dollars in legal fees.

the path of asceticism leads to true strength. null is not just a name, it's both a destiny and a bank balance

 

[Red Hood]

You may take our license but you'll never take our freedumb

 

[Malcolm Tucker]

Are the bobbies gonna be coming to my door asking if I've got a loicense for browsing this website now?

 

[Pee Cola]

does this mean we get an "activate XenForo " on every page we go?

Spoiler: No, but this screen will pop up every time someone visits the Farms

 

[Leonard Helplessness]

Got a rogue "Activate" textbox floating in the middle of the page on one pageload, no joke.
