Very true, and really sad. The enshitification of the internet continues.middleofnowhere wrote: ↑ If it's gone for good I'm not surprised. DSLr hasn't been in good shape, in terms of usage, for many years.
Independent forums have been living on borrowed time ever since Google de-ranked forum hits in its search results. Without new traffic from search engines, and the new users that stem from traffic, forums either fail commercially or die from attrition when existing users leave.
It's no accident that the many-to-many forums that were the public square of the Internet 25 years ago have all been obliterated in favor of one-to-many broadcast sites (e.g. YouTube) or highly controlled social media platforms (e.g. Zukerbook, MuskTwitter, and, to some extent, newReddit). This is the Internet Google wanted, and DSLr may just be the latest victim.
What you should really be running is Pihole, but again, you can't do that on Bell. However you have things running, it's not ideal with the Bell Gigahub. It's impossible to completely bypass it. PPPOE seems to be the best way, but even if you do that you are stuck using their DNS server which prohibits you from blocking ads network wide, and also takes away from your privacy. Pihole makes your network way faster as well.
I ran a PiHole on Bell Fibe in 2019 on an HH3000...did something change? I think I flipped my DNS to CloudFlare or something.SickBeast wrote: ↑ What you should really be running is Pihole, but again, you can't do that on Bell.

Here's another site where some DSLR folks, who tend to lean right, have migrated to. Unfortunately, it's missing many tech forums:

This is not true. If you use PPPoE on a separate router, you can define your own DNS
I and others feel pretty confident that DSLReports is gone for good.
I will let the new site's admin know. Please message me once you get registered.mrweather wrote:Been trying to sign up on broadbandbulletin.com but keep getting "cross-origin request" errors.
