A reduction in activity by some long time members

@SzSupportAdmin it was pretty funny on the old forum I managed to invite a bunch of people from reddit to the forum and the mods were saying it was really sketchy, even though it was built into the software to do that, they were trying to say I was being reckless and irresponsible for inviting then telling me they could be trolls and they even blocked half of them for having vpns, this was from a link I shared on a mental health reddit post, I thought they’d be ok with me bringing new blood onto the forum, obviously not :frowning:

Is Gemini pro expensive? ChatGPT is.

No it’s cheap. All you need to do is sign up for Google One

I have that but I’m in a major mess with it. I had it,but cancelled because it was frustratingly crap syncing wise. Then later thought I’d give it another go. Paid but my account kept showing the basic free amount of storage. That made me think they were trying to con me,so I cancelled the recurring subscription. Then several days later they got; round to upgrading me!

Hiya @shutterbug and @Zoe and everybody here— thanks so much for the shout, means a lot to have folks looking out for one another. Plus, a tuna bat-signal is pretty cool to boot, lol :dizzy:

Hope this post finds you all doing great and in good spirits and good health :slightly_smiling_face:

Sorry for not having been around much lately— been trying to navigate the aftermath of a manic episode and stuff. Been an especially rough one, but no hospital thankfully, so that’s a good thing for sure :+1:.

Anyways! I do try to log on at least once a day, even if it’s just to check out everyone’s good eatins’ on the foodie thread, haha.

It remains a comfort and point of stability in my life to know the forum is around, and I’m truly grateful for this space and for this community.

Wishing you all good days ahead and thanks again for thinking of me— really means a lot :dizzy:

The old forum was under continual assault (as is this one) by one particular user who generates a crap tonne of fake accounts. She likes using VPNs and free WiFi hotspots. There was an excellent reason for blocking VPNs.

Hundreds. Of. Fake. Accounts.

Hi @Schztuna

I’m sorry you weren’t feeling well, but I’m glad that you didn’t have to go to the hospital and are starting to feel better.

Yeah, it’s defo (I learned that word from you) a great community, and it’s even a greater community with you in it.

Wishing you good days ahead.

Have spent several hours trying several ‘fixes mentioned by AI. All useless as new files won’t upload. Rather than make myself ill due to increasing stress- I’m giving up on OneDrive.

I’m a little leery of getting technical support from ChatGPT. I had a basic problem with my iPhone and it led me down a path with many answers that required me to make many changes until it told me to reset my phone to factory settings. I told it I didn’t trust it after that and it said I was right to be skeptical and it admitted that resetting to my phone was too drastic a measure.

I really like this forum, there is no peer support groups in my country or in my language for sz. At least not to my knowledge. But I have found this forum very supportive, so thanks to everybody who make it possible to have this kind of forum. I try to be active.
