I am completely ignorant of anything related to forum management. Domain names, server rentals—it's all Chinese to me. If I interpret what Albruic wrote on Discord correctly, it's a question of this order that is at issue. As for whether a solution will be found soon, I sincerely hope so, but I...

Unfortunately, no.

There is no point in looking for such conspiratorial ideas. GA was launched by pure amateurs traumatized by the collapse of Anthrogenica, with the sole aim of providing their fellow men with a home to exchange ideas. As a supermoderator of GA and former moderator of AG I can testify that I have...

It's great to find you here Flann Fina! I hope the masters of this old forum will not be too indisposed to see people from the other house taking refuge here. Until better days come, their hospitality is pleasant. (y)

After several experiences, I remain very uncertain about this. I remember etymologies of Scandinavian toponyms in Normandy that were worthy of Monty Python. I also questioned him several times in my field of expertise (mathematics), with rather disconcerting results. For example, on a theorem...

What you write encourages me to remain wary of this tool. I myself was a little taken aback by what he wrote about the reduction of unstressed vowels in West Uralic languages. I wonder where he got that from. Well, it's not for nothing that I mentioned a little experiment with ChatGPT. Thanks...

User: Historical linguistics question. The Germanic group, and therefore Proto-Germanic, lost the mobile accent of Indo-European, fixing it systematically on the first syllable. Question 1: Did any other Indo-European proto-languages experience this phenomenon? ChatGPT: The phenomenon of fixing...
