What people are saying?

• Kevin Michaluk, Co-founder Crackberry.com: "Insights does an outstanding job giving us an instant overview of what's happening in real time on the CrackBerry.com forums. There's always a ton of activity and sometimes it's hard to keep up. Gravity Insights not only shows us which threads are the most active, but also gives us an easy way to identify new members who are contributing great content."
  
• Ed Rieker, President of PbNation: "There are a lot of generic analytics services out there. Gravity Insights is NOT one of them. Insights does an amazing job of distilling all the activity in our community into useful information. Monitoring the forum in real-time has also never been easier. Because of Gravity Insights, I now know exactly what's happening on our site. The Gravity team is outstanding, a pleasure to work with and very responsive to our needs. I highly recommend them."
  
• Patrick Clinger, President and CEO, ProBoards, Inc.:"With Gravity Insights I can see what's happening across the millions of ProBoards forums. Gravity Insights is the first analytics service that I've found that includes relevant forum statistics and can scale to meet our heavy traffic volume. As a big analytics user, I continue to be surprised by all the new things I'm discovering with Gravity Insights."

How does Gravity Insights work?
It?s pretty simple. Gravity Insights is a standard vBulletin plugin. Once installed, Gravity Insights puts a lightweight beacon (similar to Google Analytics) on every vBulletin generated webpage. In addition, Gravity Insights has custom hooks that initiate asynchronous server-to-server calls between your vBulletin server and the Gravity Insights servers. These hooks allow Gravity Insights to track all the things that standard analytics software can?t track (like new threads, new replies, new member registrations, etc.).


Requirements to use Gravity Insights
Gravity Insights has been tested with very large and very small forums. You?ll need vBulletin version 3.6 or later to use Gravity Insights. Gravity Insights also supports phpBB, Vanilla Forums, and ProBoards.


Legal stuff?
Gravity Insights is copyright protected by Project Rover, Inc. You?re free to use Gravity Insights (subject to our terms and privacy policy) on any vBulletin forum for which you hold a valid license.

Will there be any way for users of Gravity Insights to download all of their data before the service goes offline?

Because the Golden Age for web software has dropped down. I can list dozens of proofs, but here are some:

1. How many promotion emails are you getting for special discounted price for PHP scripts? I don't know if everybody gets them, or just me as I've bought many of them, so I'm on their newsletter lists. But even if you're not getting such emails, just go to Hotscripts.com and try to visit some commercial sites. You can find discounts up to 75%.
2. Talking for Hotscripts. They had a strict rule. You can't post the same script in another category. Now you can. Just pay and you can do almost everything. I asked them if I can post a paid listing for a script which is not ready yet, and they said "Yes, you can".
3. Talking for vBulletin. I'll not try to give statistics, as they'll ban me from here. Just count how many superior vB coders have adopted coding at all, how many adopted vB to work for another platform and you'll get my meaning. Does any old member remembers how many online users had vbadvanced.com? Try to check it now.

Yes, I'm too more and more starting to look to your mod. And I hope it'll be much, much better than anything seen so far for vB.

1. That's definitely an issue due to your purchases. I only get emails about politicians and their scandals . But I see your point.
2. They want your moniez.
3. I'm not quite sure if that's a sign that the "Golden Age" has ended for web development or that vB's "Golden Age" was forcibly ended because of... Vinegar .
