Happy New Year

I feel like @HalfNormal needs a special medal for coming every day of the year! Either that or a therapist! :innocent:

Best wishes for the coming year everyone!

I resemble that remark!! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m happy that I found this place, so full of interesting and nice people. The solid administration and moderation is, IMHO, the best among tech fora. Thanks to everyone involved.

I’m glad you joined us here! Administration and moderation work is worth doing only when people like you show up, share what you are doing, and chip in to help others. So thanks for your part in making the work worth doing. :slightly_smiling_face:

Also, it’s rewarding to see your thanks immediately after deleting a spam post and blocking the egregiously offending user. :grin:

@mcdanlj ;

In threads of code, where circuits hum,
And makers gather, hands aglow,
A silent hero steers the sum,
A guardian of the knowledge flow.

Oh, admin wise, unseen, unheard,
You mend the cracks, you fill the gaps,
Your watchful eye keeps discourse stirred,
Banishing trolls with gentle taps.

From circuits fried to rockets sent,
From humble questions to the grand,
You guide the hands, the sparks relent,
A silent master, helping hand.

So raise a toast, a line of code,
To you who keep the forum strong,
A silent symphony’s abode,
Where makers’ hearts to knowledge throng.

Thank you, admin, unseen friend,
For threads held strong, and sparks that bloom,
May your reign of wisdom never end,
In this, the maker’s digital room.

Don, what do you think about also sharing the input to the AI engine which generated the output when posting the output? I’ve become decent at creating google search terms but still very inefficient with the AI input.

Are you referring to what “prompt” was used?

Yes, which prompt/input was used to for given/posted generated output.

That is a good idea …

This is the prompt that created that poem…

write a poem to thank the maker forums administrator for good work
