I actually think this is an interesting idea, because I do think people can be pretty lazy when it comes to reading. But, it was accidentally enabled during the forum rebuild, and was broken anyway, so I've disabled it again. @BrowseGPT is the extent of the AI on the site (Maybe @AntiSpamio too if that counts).

I haven't been able to change my bio or update my profile for about 3 monthsThis is only on Switch right? It's strange because your bio doesn't have anything too fancy in it, which is what I might suspect. I'll look into it by this weekend and see if I can replicate or fix the problem.

What's a totally free reliable domain provider I can use?I can recommend namecheap ( https://www.namecheap.com ), but domains are never going to be free, because there's an annual registrar fee. Before I had a credit card, my first few domain names were given to me as a gift from friends/family.

yes i knowWe have to take user password reset requests seriously, or it would be too easy for someone to pretend to be someone else. I've started a group chat to ask you for some more info and we can go from there.

Why is there so many addsAlright, let me trying switching to a single static banner ad, it shouldn't be something that slows everything down. Is the laptop a chromebook?

Why is there so many adds@questionfire You can join the @Hide-BDNS-Ads group to opt-out of viewing the ads. See https://browsedns.net/topic/17139/testing-forum-ads-again for more info

What happened to browse gptRestarted with a new model, and it should be working again. Let me know how it compares to the previous model: @BrowseGPT

THE ADS.The question should be how much do I spend to run the forum and DNS! I'd like to get to a point where it brings in more than it costs to run. As right now, I'm spending out of pocket, similarly to how the Homebrew Appstore CDN runs. The @Hide-BDNS-Ads should be enough to handle annoying ad complaints though, while their performance is evaluated.
At some point in the future I can write more specifics about the cash flow for transparency, but we're not there yet. (In other words, "how much do I make from ads?" -> well $0, since there hasn't even been a payout cycle yet). But it'd be nice if the infrastructure here were self-sustaining in the long term.

THE ADS.Sorry, still evaluating how well these perform, if they're worth keeping, whether to tweak or not, etc.
But please feel free to join @Hide-BDNS-Ads ! I won't feel less supported. Also, if anyone does want to directly support me, I have a Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/vgmoose
Ideally either through ads or some other monetization strategy we can find a way to get support for BDNS long term. I don't think whether an individual user turns on adblock or not should make a big difference in that calculation. The forum has a lot of signed-out traffic as well, from external visitors landing here from Google, for instance.
