Basically, it gives each user their very own homepage at your site through their profile. They can add loads of things. Take a site like mine for example, this will be really useful. We have event organisers who use our forum, they run events and would have their own groups of people and regular nights. This will allow them to have a free website address at
www.poker.ie/username (for example,
www.poker.ie/dublinpoker.
They will then be able to have an "events" page, a photo gallery page (soon) and even their own forum where users will be able to log in and join up to the main database increasing traffic to the site. Regular users, just poker players, could then have their own blog (which will hopefully be integrated with vblogetin.com soon, I've already paid $50 for that and it's the best VB blogging software out there by far) and keep a blog on their page too.
Users can also network with eachother, this could be great for arranging events and other such things or just for general chit chat.
The above are advantages my site can take with this, but you get the idea just how useful it is

This and vblogetin.com together will be such a huge and useful new feature to us.
What's more is that this team of developers seem to know exactly what they are doing both in a management and coding way. I think at one stage there was 3 updates on this thread of the software in one hour. And what's more is they listen to everything everyone is saying. It's in everyones interest that this is the best it can be so it's great to see the dedication from them and all the other forum admins too.
There's a few reasons this isn't installed on my site yet. I'd like it to be more localised with the searching and ideally not having links in the navbar at the top, like communities. Like a lot of the other forum admins here, I want it to keep my users local and within my network. I understand some things are essential and that's reasonable. What's important though is that we are being listened to and searching will soon have the ability to be made local and a few other things are being worked on too so I think I'll just wait a few more days and see how it goes.
It's shaping up to be a great hack! Thanks to the developers again... and it's FREE
