The demise of a forum software giant…
Jun 26th
Everyone know’s I’ve ran a multitude of forums online. With ranging software from SMF, phpBB, IPB, vBulletin, and just about any software you can find, I’ve tried to run a community on it. You also probably know that any time one of those forums would look promising, I’d almost instantly make the switch to vBulletin software since it was by far the best software around. Bug free, well supported, nice mod community, etc etc.
I used that method for over the past 8 years while working on-line, and it always worked great. vBulletin at the time put out a fantastic product that lead the market in every aspect possible. No doubt about it, that using vBulletin software, would lead to continued success of the community. This all abruptly changed recently when Jelsoft (vBulletin’s parent company) was bought out by Internet Brands (Stock: iNet). Every aspect of this forum has went down hill, to now an almost unusable state on a production environment. More >
Launching a community for photographers
Jan 16th
After I sold my last online community a few months ago, I swore to myself to never, ever launch another one. Apparently I’ve failed, and started a community about photography. We welcome all sorts of photographers of any skill level, no matter what gear they have, or how much they know and try to make them feel welcome while learning about photography. It’s probably not going to be anything great because like always, I have a lack of time to promote the community properly, which was a reason for selling them to begin with.
Any way, if you want to check out the newest Photography forums on the internet, visit Aperture Photography Forums, register and learn about all the wonderful aspects of photography.
