Anyone considering depending on this shithole company should be made aware that if even a single child molester gets incredibly angry, these cowards will revoke your license. That's how pathetic these worms are.

Vordrak is always 100% of the time a complete faggot and usually a child molester too, but one of the major forum software companies caving in to a child molester is fairly unusual. Are they pedophiles themselves? Why do they worship a kiddy diddler and do his bidding?

Crimes against humanity. Conspiracy to degrace society through mediocrity and wastefulness. You take the collective amount of time web developers have wasted in terms of user-hours it is essentially genocide. The reason this is so morally bad is because everyone knows how bad it is, or rather think that the mediocrity is okay. The most self-aware webdevs will admit to you, they don't care, they only care about time to market. They know the vast majority of users are nigger cattle, and that's how they're treated. Web developers are essentially the same as mobile app developers. They are predatory scum making genocide-ware that holocausts man-hours in their ReactJS ovens.

Yeah but the tech people are locked in a prison of their own making, because they've doomed themselves to a career that isolates them from other people, promotes poor health, and more importantly for which the skill set and tools become obsolete incredibly quickly.

Like, it's cute that they're getting paid well while the internet is still fairly new technologically speaking, but 20 years in the future when they're a tired 45 year old and literally everything they know and possess now is completely worthless yet they continue to compete with an endless stream of Indians willing to work 16 hours a day for table scraps, that isn't going to be the case. On the other hand Billy Bob the plumber's skills and a majority of his equipment are going to be about as relevant 20 years on as they are now, because while there are always some advancements, most blue collar jobs involve technologies that are pretty mature and almost wholly resistant to outsourcing while also creating physical connections between people that increase their bargaining power and resistance against corporate abuse/dependence.

So yeah, they're gay, but the lower case I internet's going to run into a wall and they'll find themselves paying for their soy filled treachery sooner rather than later.

Probably not because I'm pretty sure @Null hates me for repeatedly DMing him while drunk, and will ban blackjack and hookers to spite me.

You drunkenly DM Josh? Well that's weird. When I get drunk I just take and stuff a body pillow with vaseline drenched cottonballs and an electric blanket then sit beside and talk to it while I listen to his streams so I can pretend he's in the room next to me.

A reliable plumber is worth his weight in gold. There is no conceivable universe where a man capable of getting your shit out of your toilet and into the sewer is not a god among men.

I'd say your knowledge is out of date. Since 7, PHP is a pretty good language for projects like this. It gets its poor reputation from version 5 and before and a legacy of people still using it inline in HTML. Newer projects don't use it that way - they have proper frontend and backend separation and you use FPM and preloading to get very good performance, But just stating a counter opinion. If you want to argue, lets do it not in this thread.


In current PHP you can actually do inline C so that's a possible way to start iteratively moving to a new language. But I agree with you, I find this an odd choice. They're not equivalent conceptually and I can only imagine that there is a LOT of reinventing of wheels with Rust that you wouldn't have to do if you just started again with PHP 8 and a suitable separate front-end project in VueJS or React et al. You've mature and feature rich libraries for everything in PHP that you might want for building a forum. Theoretically something in Rust will be faster but you have to build that damn thing first.


I really like this idea. Lets get a list of everywhere that uses Xenforo and start contacting them about any bad ones. I mean, since they've decided to grant licences based on the content of their customers or not. I mean, KF mocks and exposes paedos. If that's their moral standard for "bad" then I'm sure we can find plenty of actually bad places they can stop taking money from.


At some point, people have to make a stand. At the least, it's probably possible to help without that help being public.


You can get those long-lasting blank DVDs that are supposed to preserve their data for centuries. Would be fun for archaeologists of the distant future to find something like that, just repeated over and over.


Agreed about NodeJS but any modern solution should have a static front end and a backend API entirely separate. And for that, TypeScript is useful. Particularly in combination with something like VueJS which IS TypeScript as of version 3.

You state PHP has "architectural limitations". Modern PHP is pretty good and very performant. What isn't is the outdated model of inline PHP in HTML or otherwise preparing a page on the server side and sending the whole thing to the client (rare edge case exceptions). Put a PHP backend running in a dedicated FPM pool with nginx to proxy in front of it and serve static content and it goes like shit off a shovel, properly resourced. Yes, you could eke out something faster in C# or Rust but you'd have to write the damn thing. And you wouldn't know until you'd done it how much real word gain it would actually buy you over PHP8 with preloading.

What I'm getting the impression Null is planning from his posts, is to write something in Rust which handles the media side of things and make it compatible with XenForo, on the basis that it's the heavy media usage on the site that is the biggest issue for him. I'm guessing media requests get directed to this new service and the "compatability" is something like the XenForo/PHP side of things having the URLs generated to create those links in posts / pull them from the new service?

In that light, Rust might make sense. I wouldn't like to write the actual forum in it. His call, though.

I’m currently looking for a book to read to better understand how to handle privileges in this system in accordance to Rust standards. So I’m actually trying. Not saying it’s in my best interest, but I can appreciate the struggle.
