A New Forum That's Doing Things Differently

[Gonzo1136]

I don't care if you don't make money or make a tons a day. I just want to get what i am looking for. So not making any money will not make your forum any special.

Wow, what a fail.

We'll he's just being honest. That will be the attitude of most of your users. Its kinda your job to keep them there and change their opinions.

And how many times have you had to visit 5 threads for the stuff you wanted..?

Like when you got the files but on some crappy host or when the links had been safelinked....ever faced that...?

Wow, and now Jayfella has failed to understand why it was such a fail. I've made NUMEROUS posts talking about what made this forum different (and at no point was I saying the big thing was that it isn't about making money).

Read, comprehend, think, and then post people. The ignorant comments are REALLY starting to get on my nerves. If you're too _______ to do that, seriously it's fine if you don't offer any feedback (as I actually didn't really ask for any).

Thank god, Ripper seems to have some understanding as to what I'm talking about (although please Ripper, PM me a forum where this kind of organization has been achieved).

You can feel free to send me a PM when you've got the forum up. if you are focusing on a community, I will be happy. You seem like a nice guy. I like communities. I like to talk, discuss with other people. I'm not into warez anymore, so I will not upload copyrighted material.

You must do it yourself or find someone else who can help you with this.

^ this plus i want to be 1337

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.
