Founder title comes when you reach 100 true karma regardless of join date I believe.
It's the "true" karma bit that's tripping me up tho, I'm almost at 400 calculated karma but the true karma equation subtracts your post count from the total and I have a gazillion no-upvotes posts and comments that I made early on (and keep making) to keep my subs active and show activity on the site to hopefully attract new users. I'd have founder status by now if I only posted stuff I knew would get decent interaction.
No idea. I tried googling the problem but I can't seem to find a way to replicate it.
I had the same problem until I cleared my browser cache. Browsing in private mode also fixes the problem. So for SOME reason cloudflare is getting an error based off of... maybe cookies? session data? hard to say.
I'm also using a different browser to access the site for now because the only fix on the user end for that error is clearing one's browser cache and I don't feel like resetting my main browser like that at the moment.
Yeah really Digg and Reddit both launched with millions of dollars in VC funding and before the term "social media" existed. They were first and second movers in a space who's only competition was a bunch of unfunded, non-linked forums spread across the internet that all required a search engine to find and separate logins to use. Growing a user base was like Mike Tyson vs second graders for them. Mainchan has to compete with a fully grown Reddit, the Fediverse, it's own 4chan inspired name scaring off a segment of potential users, and the rest of the billion dollar social media landscape that isn't giving up eyeballs without a fight. Growing in this environment, without deep pockets, in any meaningful way is remarkable.
I don't think it's sad, I ran a bunch of PHPBB type forums back in the day, the slow build of the user base really takes me back. Savor it now, eventually it'll hit critical mass and 5x your stress level to keep up with.
Let’s go Mainchads
Thats cool have not posted in a while i should change that
>tfw arrived too late to have a fancy Founder title
Didnt know this was happening

you can still get one if you get over 100 true karma. I still haven't removed the ability to get founder. Maybe I will at like 10k users.

Why am I getting this? I had to post this from another browser. Tried a hard refresh.

I'm sure you wound up searching up the same page I saw on that error 520: https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/error-520/ did you wind up trying any of those fixes?
I'm also using a different browser to access the site for now because the only fix on the user end for that error is clearing one's browser cache and I don't feel like resetting my main browser like that at the moment.
Yeah private works too. Idk what to do other than clear Firefox mobiles cache which I'd rather not.
I paused cloudflare. Do you still get the error?
Yes
what about now?
Ok let me try something else. I'll check back in a few mins.
nice. planning to do anything special to mark the occasion?
mostly just being sad that it took this long
How long has the site been public?
Around 7 months.
No reason to be sad then.

That's a problem I'd like to have.
