Loved this topic. It's April's Fool's day and the only real topic created today with content worth reading so thanks to Maverick and Jason for that.


Maverick is reminding me of another webmaster here called Beigin. Guy talks well and motivates people into making something ordinary sound great but unfortunately that's how I see it; ordinary.

Working on a large DDL site I see new forums start every few hours. Their are very few original ideas. Link checkers are poor and unreliable and it's impossible to make them reliable which I know from coding many over the years as you are relying on external sites outside your control.

I'd love this to work for you Maverick but Jason is right. Start with a small vps not a server. Don't get custom mods made instantly and don't think for a minute your going to keep out the autoposters. It's pretty much impossible. I've coded mods like linkzbot that help preventing duplicate posts and know a lot about this. Jayfella (autoposter creator) once said that anything that CoolYou (warez-bb admin) does to stop autoposters on Warez-BB that he would bypass and I believe him. If autoposters want to spam your site they will and if you do get decent traffic they will come.
As for content their is no original content. It's a myth. If you want something that's released you'll find it in a few minutes on Google. Your not going to create a website where you have content that people want that others don't have. If you do they'll just leech it so it will no longer be unique.

I do wish most of what I said wasn't true but unfortunately it is and that's the sad state of warez today but I do wish you the best of luck and hope you succeed in your goals.
