Tapatalk recently decided that it would be a-ok to add a chat feature to their app and call it the "Official" Dumaguete Info chat room without giving any notice to me (or other forum admins). This chat room is also completely controlled by Tapatalk and I have absolutely no ability to moderate or turn off this feature. I take this as Tapatalk trying to hijack the forum and take content and discussions away from the main forums. This simply will not be tolerated.
On top of this they decided it would be a good idea to delete/moderate MY tirade posted in the "DI Chat Room" explaining my disgust for the feature being added without consent. This is a big no-go for me. The only people that should be able to moderate on this forum (and on any features claiming to be a part of DI) is the people I have assigned those privileges to and under NO circumstance should some nameless third-party person be able to moderate a forum owner's content.

Just noticed it's been a little over a year since the switch to the new forum software. Here are the monthly stats since the software changeover back in October of last year.
Blue line is how many overall posts there were per month.
Orange line is how many threads started per month.
Light Blue is how many users were active per month.
The totals for this one year period are:
Total Posts: 23,793
Total Threads: 6,945
Some History On DI
@The Dane made the first post to DI more than 9 years ago back in October of 2006. The forum has changed hands a few times since and I took over the forum from @shadow back in September of last year.
DI hit both 10,000 threads and 100,000 posts in June of last year. (We've added more than 7k threads and 28k posts in a little more than a year!)
I'm very pleased with the steady upward trend in these stats and forum activity and want to say "thanks" to all the members who help keep this board active, friendly, inviting and useful to people looking for information about Dumaguete and the Philippines. Without the collective knowledge of the members here this forum would not be possible. Many thanks to all the members here on DI!

FYI: Users with less than 25 posts will not be able to hand out negative ratings. This should give new users some time to figure out certain posting "styles" and also prevent trolls from coming in and causing a lot of headache and extra work for moderators and myself.

Saw a new one in a post the other day, or at least it was new to me FWIW.
After a bit of thought i presumed that this was (for what its worth)
Any chance we could get subtitles for these things to save brain strain.

This one snuck up on me. The SSL certificate (which gives you the green "https" in the address bar) expires tomorrow. It usually takes a couple days to get the new one. Tonight I'll generate my own SSL cert and install it until they email me the new cert. The site will be just as secure but your browser won't agree with that and will show a security warning because I'm not an registered trusted agent....or some nonsense like that. I might decide to just go back to regular ol' http to avoid any user confusion.....if I can remember where I put all those redirects to https a year ago.
Sorry about that. I thought I had until the 12th for some reason.
