He's a machine. Thankfully he didn't list replacing humans. He's a good bot.

You might need to wait a long time. He hasn't logged in since August 16, 2014.

He's not here to socialize. He has two main jobs.

1) Post the birthday threads.

2) Detect multiple login attempts. Since 2007, he has sent me a PM every time someone has logged in on more than one account on the same computer.

He can only detect that if the IP is the same......

It's based on cookies. If the cookies are cleared, it doesn't work.

Well if the IP is the same buddy you would know.. (Thats how CD knows its me all the time )

Clearing cookies also ditches your "Remember Me" for Sitcoms logons.

When clearing history I always keep the cookies here and for a few other trusted sites.

I thought you were using a VPN. It looks like you've used many different IPs on here. Do you have a static IP address?

Why don't they just block your IP address from the control panel or at the server level? It seems like they are just creating more work for themselves than necessary.

[Dude111]

Well they know all the proxies I come in with,almost all are on the watch list.....

If I went in directly with my own IP maybe they wouldnt know it was ME but thier site doesnt render 100% correct on the http side which is why I go thru something to see it 100%....

I cant come in direct here because you have http blocked and you wont trust me that things wiil be OK if you allow http also........ (I wish you were like my other friend Gabe buddy)

spiritualforums.com/vb/ now allows http,I can get thier directly (Gabe added a rule to send newer browsers that have "Always use https" to https.. Thats why when I go there,I can stay http.......)

[stevea]

I'm probably opening up a can of worms, but what's your problem with using https sites? The rest of the world uses them.

[TJ]

They would save themselves some time if they just blocked your IP addresses.

We don't block http. The .htaccess file is set up to auto redirect to https. It's not really a good idea to have both http and https in the search engines.

BirthdayBot says he'll TRY to accept any friend requests, but he's not making any promises. He's not exactly getting overworked with the birthday threads.

[Dude111]

City-data does it and they are fine Todd......

Also spiritualforums,letsrollforums and hipforums does it.... Wont you even give me the benefit and try it and it and see its ok buddy??

You dont even have to have it like city-data does,just add a rule when the site sees IE6,it lets it stay HTTP.... If Gabe can do it with spiritualforums,you can Todd

Well because IE6 cant read these new certs and #1) THERE IS NO REASON FOR 1/2 THE SITES THAT ARE FORCING HTTPS NOW TO BE DOING SO!!!

I really don't like lump sum birthday threads where everyone is combined. Active members deserve their own individual thread, I would rather not share mine with someone else. It can also get to not participating in the mass threads if someone likes one member but not the other(s).

It's more environmentally friendly to combine them. It uses less resources.

If it was possible to automatically split them into individual threads, I would set it up that way. If anyone happens to share your birthday, I can manually split them.

Sorry to be off topic again, but why would anyone take the time to write rules that involve a 24 year old, discontinued browser?

[Dude111]

I dunno Stevie. If I ran a site I would take a few seconds and do it just in case someone like me was out there using an older browser....... IT WONT HURT ANYTHING!!!!!

AND EVERYONE USED HTTP BEFOIRE THEY WERE SCARED STIFF BY THE POWERS THAT BE TO MAKE THEM THINK THEY ARE PRIVATE USING HTTPS!! (When all it does it block older/BETTER stuff from connecting (Stuff they cant track ppl with (Which is why its blocked basically)))

Sadly many are not like me and dont care,they just believe the MSM trash guiding them down certains paths.........


Its really very sad........
