@The-Captain For 2025? If you would like to, that can be arranged.

@Panther I know that you sent in for Gold but your contributions here are worth more than Gold and to show my, and our, appreciation for your hard work, I have made the executive decision to upgrade you to Distinguished. I see no better person to receive the first Distinguished badge and status.

I don’t know what we would do without you, thank you. 👏

Happy New Year! The 2026 Support Drive is here.

Updates:

• We have 2 new tiers.
  1. Honor $120/year (that’s $10/month; less than your streaming subscriptions)
     
  2. Distinguished $240/year
     
• A new PayPal button, which has a few more options but could also introduce problems. Let me know if you run into issues.

Update: Would folks be interested in a monthly subscription for the tiers of Honor and Distinguished?

Lastly, I’ll have some special perks for the two new tiers. For Distinguished, definitely a permanent place for your username somewhere on the website more prominently then in a post on a forum. So even if you do it once, your name will be enshrined somewhere.

We’re using Cloudflare (CF) now to help with the bots and caching the site. After installation, CF was quite aggressive against anything automated including TripleA clients. I set up a rule to allow TripleA traffic.

So it’s all fixed now and the site should feel faster.

If it doesn’t work on this topic, try a new one. Sometimes these things get cached somewhere.

@surfer And does downloading work?

Also, please try TripleA again. It might work.

@surfer I think I’m having problems following the issue. Can you describe the problem or problems that you’re experiencing?

@farmboy said in BM Surfer (L+15) vs Farmboy (X):

I’m getting an error code 403 when I try to post

When you post from the browser or from TripleA?

@captainwalker Okay, that’s weird. Let me look today.
