What is vBSocialized?
It's a template, plugins and native mobile apps for iOS & Android.
What is it about?
When we worked on this product, we were asking ourselves: how do we combine the beauty of communities, with the simplicity of social networks? How do we keep the people in our forums, and give them the tools to participate in a better, easier and faster way?
This is what vBsocialized is about. It's a whole package of all what you need, not to transfer and change your forum, but to enhance it. To keep it as it is fundamentally, but better theoretically.
What does it do?
vBsocialized consists of:
A new template: which has been designed in a way that's more like blogs and social networks, to make reading and searching lot more easier.
Plugins: which completes the beauty of the template design. Tools to keep your users up to date with the community in a fast and easy way. Such as:
Following: A user can follow any other user in order to see what did he write as a thread or a comment
Timeline: Instead of showing the forums as the main page, your users will get a timeline as the main page, where they can see the new threads and comments of those who they follow.
Rating power: We believe this is one of the best features we've added in this product. Your users now can vote "up" or "down" for each comment in a thread, so comments will be sorted from best to worst. And what's really good, is that all users begin with the same rating power, but with time, they start to gain more power or less, depending on the ratings they get for their comments.
Natvie Mobile Apps: nowadays, nothing is good enough if it lacks of mobility. This is why we developed native mobile apps that works just good with the whole idea we want to implement. An iOS & Android native apps which you can upload to your accounts in App Store & Google Play, to give your users a better reason to be in touch with your community. These apps has the timeline, push notifications, following feature and designed to be simple and pretty.
So, how do I get it?
Here is the good part. The web solution is an open source project, just download the template and the plugins, and start using them in your forum. They are attached with this thread.
If you want the mobile apps too, you can buy them . We will change the logo and icons to fit your forum, and send you the .ipa & .apk file for both iOS & Android. If you ask, we will send you the source codes too
How about support?
If you need support for the template and plugins, subscribe with our support plan.
Mobile apps comes with free support for 3 months.
Do we provide custom modifications?
Yes we do, in everything, the template, plugins and mobile apps. Just send us your request via support.
I really like how you can login with Twitter on the mobile app, just wish it wasn't so pricey...
If you sold it at $20-$40 I can guarantee you that people will buy the package given it's so cheap unlike Tapatalk where they charge monthly.
That's a good point we should consider. Taptalk though is based on subscription, but our product is 1 payment only.

It's the same reason, please go down and change the template if it didn't appear to you by standard. As for the spam, it's a demo, and good to have them I guess to see how posts look like

Hmmm, it works, but needs some adjustments depending on each version and each language. It's a big product with lot of changes, you can do them yourselves if take some hours of your time.
Yes, we didn't release it to be installed easily everywhere, because this will need more time, and it's a free open source project. We might work on this though
