The web development board was the main board I was interested in (since I don't use Eclipse any more).
I assume the reason you've disabled it is because of the inactivity. So I propose the following changes:
"Web Development -> Questions" MERGE INTO "Programming"
"Web Development -> Tutorials" MERGE INTO "Programming -> Tutorials"
"Web Development" MERGE INTO "Show Off -> Websites"
This would make the programming board more active and allow people to post about web related programming still.
Thanks. -
BUMP
Crap. -

But I also hate using this username to log in.
Don't know if this has been reported yet but when clicking on a post under latest activity it takes you to the first page of the thread instead of the latest post. -
All of Botster's old conversations stretching back to when they first started being recorded (start of 2011) have been dug out from backups and re-added. The total number of conversations is now just under 20 thousand. Botster's brain currently contains a large amount of spam which was let in from older learning systems. We plan to look into using these conversations to re-generate Botster's brain, running it through the current, up-to-date filtering system. If this re-generation experiment creates a better brain that what's current, it could be used regularly to keep the brain maintained.

Could you change my username to 'Lenton' in the database please? -
The layout has been redesigned again! It now works on all browsers (including older ones), and its responsiveness has been improved for easier use of smaller screened devices.
After investigating bad responses in Botster's log, I discovered that the fulltext search wasn't working correctly. After repairing the table, the responses have drastically improved. This bug has probably gone back years undiscovered. -
> Actually we'll be going over to MyBB to allow for a hell of a lot more customization. The community will dislike it at first because new things are always terrible BUT I promise it will be a great thing!
I think it's a good move, would have a lot more freedom in developing the forum and won't be paying ridiculous prices of IP.Board. Those expenses could go towards hosting instead.
> Why won't posts be moved though?….
We're only going to lose the posts which are created from this point on, all the other posts will be transferred. I thought that too, the thread wording is a bit misleading. -
Which forum software are you planning on switching to?

A year and a half on and there's been another update:
- The organisation is now called "Lentech" and has a brand new domain.
- New, fully responsive layout.
- Like post feature.
- Website has been released open source on [GitHub](https://github.com/lentech/lentech).
The full and detailed blog post of the update can be found [here](http://lentech.org/forum/thread/47).
The new domain is: [http://lentech.org](http://lentech.org) -
Maybe this will help? [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xh6x08_php-lessons-intro-how-to-install-vertrigo-webserver_tech](http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xh6x08_php-lessons-intro-how-to-install-vertrigo-webserver_tech)

[http://finetempus.weebly.com/donate.html](http://finetempus.weebly.com/donate.html) looks like the right one but you don't need to specify the full URL.
You can use relative URLs instead:
```

**Botster has had some more updates:**
* The layout has been revamped and made responsive.
* The 'new conversation' button has been removed, you now must refresh the page to clear the chat log.
* Preprogrammed responses to things such as "What's the time?", "what did I just say?", "What did you say?" have been removed. These were way too specific and were an early (and poor) attempt to interpret the input.
* AJAX requests have been made efficient by sending and receiving JSON instead of HTML.
**The new layout:**

> Yes, this is not meant for something like that. I created it to fix gaps in tables that do not need "Unique ID's"
> Its meant for things such as posts where they are deleted, not specific information
Posts _do_ need unique and static IDs.
You could have a `comments` or `likes` table which reference the post ID and as JeffSventora pointed out, it would break the relationship. Also, what is someone bookmarks the URL "website.com/blog/post/30"? If the post's ID changed then it would link to a different post or break. -
IDs in a database should never be changed, having gaps is absolutely fine and isn't something you should worry about.

Botster has been updated with the progress I've made so far. A major flaw in brain searching has been fixed so you should get much better responses now.

This is out of your price range but I'll post it anyway. If you know how to manage a web server on Linux then you could use digital ocean. They start at $5 per month and have the simplest control panel I've ever seen.
This link will get you a free $10 of credit to begin with: [https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=d4412cab4a2a](https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=d4412cab4a2a) -

Every time you develop a new feature you should create a new branch and PR that. -
> News: Back up. :P
I was just about to top myself, thanks for the update. -
> Ye got a problem there
Thanks for reporting it, I stumbled across it the same time as you. I've now fixed the error and have updated the website with the latest build of Botster. You should now not get any errors when saying "Faux" :). -
There's definitely a bug in Botster's brain searching capabilities if it responds to "Bye?" with "Brazil", that isn't expected behaviour. I'm completely refactoring the code right now so that in itself will most likely reveal some bugs. I'll also closely analyse Botster's logs too to ensure that everything is working correctly.

Botsta has been renamed to it's original name: **Botster**.
Botster has became an open source project! It is released under the GPLv3 license and its source code can be found on github at [https://github.com/lentech/botster](https://github.com/lentech/botster). The code base is currently not in a good shape which is why I'm refactoring it before the stable release of 1.0.0.
The new URL for Botster is [http://botster.lentech.org](http://botster.lentech.org). -
