You should read my message rather than just quoting it. You are preaching to the wrong person, son.

Another reason why the original vBSpace thread should be brought back. There are a lot of people who have no idea what has transpired in the last couple of days.

Basically they talked about there being a stand alone VBspace product for close to a year, and just now disclose this information. Discussion has always been in the sense of it being a product we install alone on our system. In my view these are 2 completely different worlds. The modification to our own personal site is minimal, while this "75,000 and count growing lines of code" is merely your own website portal. I'm sure myspace has hundreds of thousands of lines of code, too. Of course Im just repeating what others have said already so sorry about that. Do a lot of people agree after seeing the demo that this is not what they expected or wanted from vbspace?

I have to agree with you. Being a 'centralised application' it'll probably put people (my target audience) off joining my site.

Why?

Less strain on your server....plus no management needed for it.

"I've got Opterons.. I'm not afraid..." :p

And we should all just go with activeboard.com or something like that, right? After all, we wouldn't want any management involved...

@rabidkevin
I compleatly agree with you.

I couldn't quote a post that was deleted - but I had a quick read of the system and must say I'm really dissapointed.

We all thought we were getting a hack for OUR forums, not some hack that helps build the database of someone elses site. If they had been honest from day one maybe I'd feel differently but it does feel like we've been led on a bit.

I still wouldn't use the system even if I knew how it was going to work, because I'm not the slightest bit interested in partnering with someone else, sending them my memberbase which I've worked really hard to build.

If they wanted to make money out of the hack they should have just made it commercial and charged for it. I don't like what they've done and it does feel like they've used vborg, and I'm not surprised the thread has been deleted.

Sorry

you know there are some admins, who like the idea of hacks, but are afraid because they wouldn't know what to do if something went wrong, and this way its like basically a fast, easy, non hassle service.

Also, i love how your first post is here, not suspicious at all.

You do know posts are not counted in lots of the forums :p

It is a nice system, for them. But it will be a fast and furious fad with any real community owner.

As members go there and leave your community due to they found bigger one, and as this company sokes in all the profits from your toils.

I have already started to toy with php to make one, due to I need a local solution not something to hinder my comunity.
