Forum network Review Appreciated!

[sanjay369]

We have built a network of forums that is anchored by our busiest and most beloved forum- www.genmay.com

All users have been merged so that any user can post on any network forum with their original log-on and password.

The network forums include:

www.spiceforums.com (adult conversation)
www.eternal-allegaince.com (celebrities and their fans)
www.bigscreentalk.com (TV and Movies)
www.therockforum.com (rock n roll)
www.lovethatsound.com (all other music)
www.forumbabes.com (forum hot or not type forum)

ForumBabes is still in the process of having a new logo designed and its forum architecture aligned with the other network forums.

Genmay.com has the benefit of many customizations which will be pushed onto the other forums including all the fun stuff that is for sale in our store Basically, since genmay is a rough and tumble, off-topic forum- you have the ability to pay for moderation of each other through paid thread-locks and unlocks. Additionally an individual can have their avatar and title messed with through the store. We believe in Mayhem and these features add to the chaos. The sub-forums are very much on-topic however, and people are impressed at how fast their threads are commented on in any of these subject specific sub-forums.

We will soon have the ability for users to purchase banners and text ads across our entire network. We will only accept ads from users that relate to their own e-business, or that are links to their threads or efforts online- no commercial advertising.

Beyond all of this will be the launch of our super secret, integrated user profile, search, and transaction engine- www.crowdgather.com

All of our forums are vbulletin since we <3 vbul!

Sorry for the dense post, but oh well

This is really cool and is something that I'm kinda looking to so for 2 of my forums... but not even to the extent that you have...

It really is amazing how you've linked them all up. Do you think duplicate content will hurt SEO?
Also how does doing something like this affect the page rank of each of your sites?




I just have 2 websites which each have a UK news, and 5 travel forums, all of which I would like to share posts (and replies) across. I don't even need people to be able to log in on both sites....

Can you suggest a way to get me started on this project?

I have used the nntp gateway hack previously to share stuff from usenet but want something along those lines but between my 2 forums.

If A member from forum website A posts in A, I would want it to appear in forum website B, but I wouldn't need him to have a full profile in website B... If you catch my drift??

If you can help please reply or PM me thx
