As Mr Musk continues to wreck Twitter, this time by charging for API access, we have decided to deactivate the forum registration via connected Twitter accounts. Members can still share posts, threads, and other content via Twitter (thanks, Elon).


There is free developer access to the API, but it's limited to 25 requests in 24 hours. The "basic access" to their API costs USD 100.00 per month!

Bye-bye Twitter. At least for now.
 
sad times I guess

but everything is costing money these days

What's the yen to dollar today?
 
Good riddance. Not that I'll notice, I made a twitter account years ago just to secure a username to safeguard against impersonation, and for promotions that required me to tweet links to redeem rewards. Literally never used it for anything else, and I'm not really interested in ever changing that, triply so now.

You have used a search engine before?

I can't imagine you had many registrations via Twitter. I can't wait until Twitter is killed and replaced with something better -- something more democratic and with safety/fact controls. That said, I do log into Twitter every other day or so. The people I follow give some news insights that I may otherwise miss.

I hope not! Our hosting fees have already skyrocketed. 💸

True. Lately, there have been very few sign-ups via Twitter and Facebook. Google is still going strong.
 
I never got into Twitter. Never made an account or looked at tweets much. My biggest exposure has been through newspapers that quote or reference them.

It's little things like JREF deactivating forum registrations through Twitter that chip away at Twitter's relevance over time. They add up.
