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published /are not to be published on your site.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

to do that I would have to either give you my memberlist, including e-mail addys, so you could include them in your database so the posts could show on your exchange with proper authorization or you would have to run a spider against my database to keep your "exchange" constantly updated, which I don't want you doing since it would require you to have my database security info.
No thanx.

Nope it could be enough if there would be a second data at your user infos: For example homeboard instead of email addy
Example

New thread from : user xyz (www.martin.com)
I just to have made one file writeable by world (authorized exchange boards)
So no user information would gave away and no one will loose members to an other board.

Ok after reading what this guy/gal wants to do it sounds like a major security hazzard. if this sends out all of our members accounts, info ect. someone can either:
1. Steal Admin PW's
2. Gather Emails and sell them
its not the smart thing to do.

but a good idea would be if you have more than one forum setup on the same domain you can share members accounts... ( hack or new version option in VB maybe? )

l8r this will never work. hope you didn't pay for that domain.

It think i will send only the user name and the destination of the home board (this would stay for password on the new server) not all the datas.so no passwords are trade and no emails are trade!

I just received spam from this individual. Ironically, this guy sent it to abuse@adolescentadulthood.com

This Mail is only for bulleting board runners.
Only go on reading if you want more visitors for your bulleting board.

I have developed the Idea of ubXchange.

What is ubXchange ?
The idea behind ubXchange is to build a community of bulleting boards.
We started up the project 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.

With our 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.
As you can see the participation on our banner exchange service has plenty of advantages for you, your board and your users.

With the registration in our free exchange service you get 300 banner add views as a start up.

After the integration of the X-Change-Code on your site you get an additional add view for each page view containing this code. (ratio - 1:1 !!!)
For UBB & VBB- user there would be a tool which makes it easier to set up and integrate our exchange service in existing boards wenn the new features are ready to puplish.

and, a few seconds later...

No, you sending it was the spam.

Beyond that, I would never do business with a company that can't spell "bulletin" when they are trying to create a "Bulletin" board community for "Bulletin" board owners. And I also would never do business with a company that would double-spam you because THEY forgot the LINK to the thing they were spamming you about.

If there is one thing we have learned, it is that this person obviously fell out of the "Stupid Moron" tree, and hit every branch on the way down.
