[Sim_card]

I believe all TryNinja services are currently offline—I'm not sure if it's due to updates or because work is being done to implement something new. The Telegram bot, the Simplex one, the Ninjastic site, and even the other beta versions are all returning errors. Most of them are showing a 500 Internal Server Error, which typically indicates a server-side problem that prevents the request from being fulfilled.

As soon as TryNinja is back online, I’m sure they’ll update us on the situation through the forum. Just like you, I’ve lost access to several topics I was interested in without the bot.

I thought it was from my telegram app which made me run an update, didn't know some other forum members also have same experience. The forum can be boring sometimes when you don't get notified of mentions and threads that you are subscribed to. Hope TryNinja rectifies the problem when he comes online because the Super Notifier Bot has really made navigating the forum so easy and it looks like am missing something when i do not get notifications.

Yeah, experience of using forum without notification bot isn't same, I'm feeling a bit limited now. Now I don't know how I used forum in past when there was no such bot.
Downtime doesn't happens for the first time, probably not last too, but don't worry, I think it won'ttake much time to fix it.

Everything should be back to normal.

Turns out someone connected to my ollama service and tried to download (and use) a bunch of LLM models, so my server ran out of space.

Sorry for the downtime!

Yeah, I got the notifications from the Telegram bot too. Sorry that happened — do you think someone was trying to mess with your server?

I don't think it was a personal attack. Since the AI boom, everybody is running ollama services to use large language models and they are exposed and unprotected by default, so there are bots trying all ports on all servers they can find, and I was just one of the victims.

To be fair, I did know my ollama service was exposed, but I was too lazy to fix it and thought it would be fine for some people to use my embedding model for free while I didn't go that hard on AI.

Turns out they tried to download 1+ terabyte of models. Bad guys!

Now it's protected as it should, so only my services can acess it.

I don't know if anyone else here has noticed that the activity of phishing attackers has increased significantly in the forums in the past few days, especially "[ANN] [STRS] STRONGS Coin - kHeavyHash | PoW" and I think this gang is currently resurfacing as "[ANN] Mulierum | POW | GhostRider".

If I'm not mistaken, we get over 100 phishing thread, notifications , every day due to tracking several boards on notifications bot. And this is really disturbing for me.

Now my questions are, is there any solution to keeping the boards on tracking and also  not getting notifications of these phishing thread?(Note that- They were creating new thread with new accounts every time )

Thanks for reporting this.

I've implemented an extra spam check which should limit this kind of spam.

If the notifications start popping up again, let me know and I'll think of a few more solutions.

And thank you for the quick response, as well as the quick solution also.

As per my observation the last notification from the "Mulierum"  on 04:06:04 PM^UTC and till now I didn't see any notification from these kinds of thread, so think it's working

Since 2025-05-04 my bot has removed over a 1000 topics related to Strongs/Mulierum. It's been crazy.

New update!

When you're quoted on a post, you will now get notified with the reply to your quote (before, you would see the beginning of the post which might not be relevant to you).

This makes it easier to understand what the context of the post is (i.e what someone is replying to you).

If it's a regular mention (not a quote reply), the old behavior remains.


For example...

Let's say someone makes this post where they reply to someone first (satoshi's fake quote) and then to me on the second part of the post (my quote):



Before this update I would see a notification with the message directed to fake satoshi, because it's in the beggining of the post:

💬You have been mentioned by XXXX in XXXXXXXXXXXX

Benfica does not play at home. The Portuguese Cup final will be played on neutral ground. The game will be held at the Estadio Nacional in Lisbon...

Now I will get this notification, with the message directly replied to me:

💬You have been mentioned by XXXX in XXXXXXXXXXXX

I believe that Benfica has a better chance of winning than Sporting, but I think they will no longer have the right motivation to do so...

New update!

Honestly, I just noticed this update now — and not from your post, but through the notifications in the bot itself. It’s a great update, and I’d been really hoping for it, even though I didn’t quite know how to properly phrase the request for such a feature. I actually suggested something similar in the  Little things that bug you/me about the forum, thread which is not the one specifically about the bot, but I’m glad to see we were on the same page about the need for this functionality.
