What happened to the vBSpace post?

[d1414]

RonoxQ is NOT an employee or representative of our company. He's a nice guy I showed the system to who likes it. I wanted to clarify that.

The point of this system is to bring people together. It is breaking my heart that it's doing quite the opposite right now. I can understand how some of you feel misled. If I had to do it all over again, we would have stopped updating the vbspace thread. Disappointing you guys was the last thing we wanted to do.

At this point, what is done is done. What can we do to help rectify this situation?

I've worked with private label solutions that allow remotely hosted content to be included on domains or sub domains.
Would this be possible with vbspace? -- some kind of web services/API solution.

I have removed the argumentative and personally attacking posts from within this thread...

Please do not continue this any further

Umm, release some actual information? Your underhanded methods of doing this is what the BIGGEST problem is, in my opinion - and I was a lurker on the VBSpace thread, hoping it would eventually see the light of day as my community could really use something like that as well.

Taking ANY form of control from a site owner/staff is a no-no unless they know 100% what is happening prior to that loss of control.

It's really too bad you guys chose to handle this in the fashion you did - even in the form it is in WITH the loss of control, it might have been far more successful if we didn't feel like you broke our trust by hiding the real intent of your product.

I'm sure you're not bad guys or anything but let's face it, trust is a lot harder to gain back than lose. Owners that would be wary of giving you control over areas of their site will now be doubly wary of you due to your chosen path.

That's my take at least. Thanks for hopefully trying to steer things back on track for your product, but it's probably too late for many of us at least until we have some seriously hard facts to draw from.

Sorry I missed you on Google Chat, i'm new to it and got confused!

Can you elaborate on what you mean by what you said. Do you mean music labels who let you link to thier content? Or?

[ronoxQ]

Sure thing, Chris. My apologies to anybody I've offended. I'm still willing to answer questions, though, if anybody cares to ask: my site isn't using this, though, I've just toured the network, so my answers aren't always going to be just what you need.

Friendly- from what I've seen, this isn't YET a feature that vbSpace has. I for one think it would be a good idea.

However, there are some autoalias programs out there (I use one for my site right now, though for other stuff) that could probably put profiles from this onto a subdomain of your site. If you want, I'll PM you with a link to the one that I use.

d1414- I think he means making profiles appear in a subdomain on a forum's main site. As in, my profile right now could be found on, say, ronoxq.omegaseye.com.

It's pretty clear what a lot of people want; to keep their communities independent.

NP, I've got to run soon, anyway.
What I mean is something like infospace does:

Ah, no. You can't integrate a system like that, sorry.

I don't think they'll object to how vB Space runs this. All I can say on that for now, but it's true.
