ubXchange idea becomes a project

This message is for all ubb-runners:
I have developed the Idea of ubXchange!!
The idea behind ubXchange is to build a community of bulleting boards.
The project started up by creating a service for banner-exchanging. This
service is especially formed according to the needs of bulleting board
runners.

Only People who run boards for discussion of whatever kind are allowed to
register.
In the course of their registration our members can decide on which boards
their banner should be inserted.
As you can control that your banner for a computer game board is only
published on boards with the same or a similar topic.
On the other hand you can control what kinds of banners are to be
published /are not to be published on your site.
The advantages of this service towards usual banner exchange services are
obvious.
With this service you exactly address the target group which is important
for your board, as they are users which are already active on other boards.
The probability that a reader of one discussion board is clicking on a banner
of another discussion board is very high.

Well there will be a lot of features coming up in the next weaks and days.
This special bannerexchange is just the beginning.

The first 100 members get 2000 free adviews

For VBB- user there would be a hack which makes it easier to set up and
integrate our exchange service in existing boards in a few days.

See http://www.ubxchange.com
now for more details and registering.

The next upcoming features in the next few weaks / days...
-Userxchange (allows you to exchange registered users with other boards) so the users are able to post on other boards without registering again. The users so can choose on which categories of boards they wanna be able to post. And the webmasters can still ban users for their board. This would be combinated with a catalog of boards sorted by themes.
Please post me feedbacks here.
Thanks

Another email from the bulleting(?) exchange

3) Forumsexchange (in german)

ubxchange.com:
Please remove me from your mailinglist. Thanks.

Is he talking about just exchanging banners or actual threads themselves because there is talk of members and passwords and things. /me is confused.

Anyway if it is a banner exchange between boards that cover the same topic then no thanks, the last thing I want to do is advertise the competition!

Well this thread in here got out of control. I am not willing to defend my self against negative replys.

To MArk: No i want to exchange threads! Once again:
The Bannerexchange was only the first step and i CANT make money with that service!
The thread exchange should allow conversation beetween different boards. So for examlple you have one "exchange" forum on your board called "NBA".. and this forum will be the same on all other boards using the exchange mod.
So the guys at each forum can reply and only the conversation (no passwords) will be viewable by all thge orter boards. So for example
User blabla from Bord (blabla) have replyed to ypur topic...blablabla

To Jim: 1: I'm not a company only a single person
2: i will see how preety you can speak my language if you have never learned thit in scool etc.
3: See second and imagine how niche it would be if guys use this as an argument against you.

I do the same sort of thing at my boards, except that is all on one server and the board changes itself to suit the other sites. See link in sig.

and I don't charge for it!

...So what have I missed in the last week?

Spamming aside: on a technical level, this isn't feasible.
1. The way you mentioned a little back was flat files... that's like UBB all over again.
2. Since nothing is on the same server, you're going to need to most likely store these files as readable, and then use LWP to serve them up. Then force the local server to parse them from there.
3. How would you integrate this into a running BBS system? This method is completely different (...and SOOOO much more server intensive) than any current display method now.
4. If you want to integrate UBB, are you going to have the local server run a cron job to generate the HTML file, or are you going to serve the page up dynamically? Don't even let me get into speed issues with UBB, a popular board, dynamic pages, and remote retrival...

I would like to interject here for a moment, if I may?

while I think we all agree that the idea is utter crap, and while his(?) constant defense of the idea makes for an easy target, how does it reflect on this community to let this degenerate into personal attacks?

Just my 3 cents...

Martin: Thx
Ed: Maybee with SSI's and trading textfiles.
Or i write a script what gets information from a html document on my server and includes its contant on any wished place at the other bords

Is this Sol ?

LOL!!!!!

UBXchange: no one is interested in your idea, so you're not going to benefit by continuing to post here. My suggestion is to stop spamming users, and drop the project altogether. After all, no real time was invested. The banner exchange script isn't even yours, so there was no work wasted.
