This. And he delivered the opposite of his promises.
He promised low gas prices - gas prices are higher
he promised low inflation - inflation is higher
he promised no wars - started new ones
he promised to release the Epstein files - now blocking release
He promised to clean corruption - Is the most corruot conman in history
This election was a total booodbath and republicans have only themselves to blame.
It’s because we have Debby marked as a spammer.

On September 19, 2016, I created my DDO account. I have been in this community for over ten years now, and I’ve seen a lot and changed a lot. Ask me anything.
How would you say it has changed in ten years? Has it gotten better or worse in your opinion.
Worse. Lower quality users in general. A lot of the users who joined at the tail end of the DART days irritate me. Less users as well. Restarting twice obviously hurt the community.
Sadly I am going to have to agree with you here. I really miss the good 'ol peak DDO days with really good high quality debates and topics. Plus AI slop has ruined the debating experience / forum experience for myself and others.
Back in 2016, the religion forum was considered the most toxic place. Surprisingly, it’s not so bad now, outside of Stephen being low hanging fruit, and generally obnoxious. Oh and whatever BK/LS has to say. But it is a much calmer place than it used to be.
Ah yes I remember that all to well.
Mafia is doing ok. The fun over there depends on the size of the active player base, which ebbs and flows. Rn I’d say it’s in a down period, but the last game DART ever had had 17 players, which was the record for the site. DDO had a much more active mafia community, and website community.
TBH I think mafia is the lifesupport that is keeping us alive.
The active development is an outstanding palatine for this site. I don’t expect it to ever reach prime DDO numbers, but it could surpass DART if we just get a few good users to make great threads, have great debates, and just great mafia games.
Same. I'm happy to be part of the dev team. Having all the mods get code access is a big deal as we're not in the mercy of a single person or corporation
What are your most memorable moments?
To get better opponents I have always made the debate impossible to accept and make a note to DM me before accepting. I can filter out a lot of low quality opponents that way

I mean, I am busy and I barely find time for anything these days.
This is fair. Possibly try and make it easier to be eligible to start one?
Hi i'm gonna look at this now. Can you send me a screenshot?
How does this look?
That’s exactly the direction I’m going with this
Greetings,
Coming soon we will be rolling out a new activity feed. When you login you will quickly be able to see what your friends have been up to and what debates / forum topics have been recently updated.
We're building up to allowing people to create posts much like what you can do on twitter / facebook.
I would love your feedback

II don't know if this possible or practical but I'm wondering if it's possible to provide an option to select the color of the text. It's an option in word, and I hoping it would be an option with whatever word processor the website uses,
My issue is this "no contrast" thing that has just gotten out of hand, I get why it's done, black text on a white background is supposed to be stressful on the eyes, but I think washed out gray against a while background is more stressful because it's so much harder to read. I've asked a lot of people how they have their Word set, everybody prefers black text on a while background, I don't think anybody given the choice prefers less contrast.
If it was selectable here, I bet almost everybody would select black, if you couldn't make it selectable and had a vote about font color, I bet everyone would vote for black (maybe not Fauxlaw, voting for black would probably be too "woke" for him lol),
It's even worse with packaging, every time I try to read directions that are microscopic white text in a yellow box, or dark blue against dark green, It's also bad on menu's in dimly lit restaurants, my wife won't let me wear a headlamp out to dinner (go figure),
Now I'm ranting, anyway, it's just a suggestion but if it's easy to do, I think it would probably be appreciated by most of the members if we could have the option to have some contrast so we can actually read it.
Thank you for your feedback. One thing I'm considering is building a customizable setting where people can customize the text color, size, brightenss etc.

Currently, I find a bit of issues with opinions segment of site. The comments are a bit tricky to load. At start, it’s fine, but when conversation becomes longer, it gets a bit awkward and very difficult to follow who is responding to what. When comments have multiple pages, it’s not really clearly visible.
Thank you for your feedback. I’ve noticed this also and ill work on this
This is exhibit a on why blindly trusting AI is a very bad idea - especially in military contexts.

Chatgpt is good, but make sure to open new chat every time you use it to generate or fix code. I am not sure why, but when same chat is used for too long, it hallucinates way more and sometimes even makes entirely new errors after fixing old ones.
I’ve noticed this also. Every major new branch I usually use a new chat window and cross reference with more than 1 model

Did staff members write all the code for the forums themselves or with AI help, or did y'all use an existing framework for at least some of it?
Savant uses Gemini and I use chatGPT / Codex.

Now it's fine. Thanks.
You should block copy/paste to @RemyBrown.
The copy / paste blocker is more to prevent repetitive spamming and copy paste from AI. I don’t think blocking pasting for RB would be effective as I don’t see him repeatedly copying and pasting the same content or flooding with AI generated posts.
I figured it out. Some how you got paste blocked. This should be fixed now

It's cool but you can't neglect the functionalities. So far I'm not able to copy/paste simple text on new posts.
What's the matter with that?
Can you show me what you’re seeing? I can copy and paste just fine

Hey, and someone has just sneaked in a lot of brown.
Think of it as coffee / hot chocolate.
I hope you like the color scheme

I especially like the new "Opinions" section. Whoever came up with that is a genius.
That was Kohai. It's based on a similar thing on ddo. We were a bit conflicted about adding it earlier seeing as it might attract the lowest common denominator, but the user base here seems a bit more mature.
Yeah. It was a direct copy from DDO.
The problem on DDO was the opinion quality was really bad and we also didn’t want to add too many features at once.
Now that we have decent activity this is a good time to pilot opinions
Thank you for sharing the memory of Lannan and Ajab.
Greetings,
I recently launched a new home page and I've got some mixed reviews on it. I am working on a few designs and wanted the community's input on site design and development. Please answer the following questions:
1) Do you typically use dark mode or light mode?
2) What information do you want to see on the home page?
3) What part of the current design works and what does not?
4) What color palets do you like?
As it stands, I kinda feel this site feels too much like a modern SASS app rather than a proper debate site.
I've done some experimentation on trying to bring back some of the classic DDO feel. I wanted to bring this design up to the community and get the community's feedback
My pleasure as always!
I found the cause of the issue. This will be fixed once Savant pushes the changes
I confirmed the issue. I will work on fixing it.

Yeah. I have several alts that I use for development
Hey, welcome to debatecraft. It's great to see you around!
I started on DDO many years ago. I'm still going strong
