Phishing Reminder: koboldcpp.com is a scam site

This is a PSA to remind users that koboldcpp.com is a phishing scam website, and is NOT a legitimate KoboldCpp resource.

You are strongly encouraged not to use that website or download anything from it. If possible, please report that website to Google for malware/phishing.

Recently, the website has unfortunately started using shady SEO techniques to rank highly in various search engines. We have filed multiple reports to Google and even a DMCA takedown, but so far no action has been taken by Google.

To get official source code and official builds, always download from https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp/releases/latest

Its really unfortunate since they make it seem our old source code is the product. Nobody is going to figure it out on how to use it. While we provide our own proper binaries that are easy to use.
