Why not? I think it's a great feature request. Seconded by me (I already asked for it above). A local version that supports custom categories would be awesome - and worth paying for.

Not right now. However, we would love to expand to other languages. It all depends on how successful this system is. If lots of people install it and lots of other language boards want it, then we'll naturally add additional languages. For purposes of development efficiency, we couldn't add multi-language suport from the start though.

No, sorry.

As for those of you requesting a local variant, I respect and understand that desire. However, that's not what Zoints is about. Our vision is to bring communities together in a mutually beneficial manner. As can be seen by the traffic people are already getting from this modification, that is happening. And that doesn't take into account the long term SEO benefits people who get threads to the front page will receive. Point being, we do not plan a local variant.

With that said, every forum has their own personal category and members can choose to only show threads from your forum if they so desire. The options on this are pretty powerful and allow all kinds of configuration.

We run a football (soccer) website which obviously fits into Sports but are there any plans in the future to narrow down the categories with sub-categories? Mixing football with what I'm sure will be a heavily US influenced category with American Football, Baseball, Basketball, etc might not work that great for us. Having said that I definitely want to give this a try as the potential is huge.

As traffic grows, we'll definitely look into expanding categories and the customization options. We need to keep the category options narrow right now to avoid dilution.

Also I'm not sure if this is the case or not but is there a "read only" type system available? Say for people with a website but no vbulletin forum. Having the ability to put a Synergy page on there to display the news would be great, even if they couldn't submit news themselves.

It looks like you've already killed http://www.dementia.za.net/forums/ with traffic as that forum is down and has the most popular story.

Not at this time. But as that would obviously send more traffic to forums, we're certainly open to the idea of making it happen :) That's the beauty of a distributed system like this. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Dan,

It seems to be working ok for me. Did you get that issue resolved? I like how Synergy looks with your skin :)

Feature Request:

When deleting a submission would it be possible to leave a reason for the deletion via PM to the person who submit the thread?

I was going to install this yesterday, but probably will tonight.

I have a question though, regarding all Zoints products. This may have been answered here, or on your site.. but I've had a hard time finding it.

I have to register my forum with zoints.com (which I already have done).. I'm wondering what happens now. If I install a Zoints product, do my members get posted onto zoints.com? I would really like to avoid doing that. I personally just don't like the idea.

I guess what my question really is.. Why register the forum with Zoints? And what happens once registered..

Thanks,
