The facebook wave brought back some great memories…

Yeap, actually, even if a lot of forum admins are complaining (with rights) that the facebook mania made their members vanish, there are some good points to it…

  1. A lot more people are now aware that communities, groups and discussions are fun on the internet. They know them from facebook, it’s not time for you to bring them to your site with a better feeling!
  2. A lot of people who never touched a keyboard in the past are now using their computer on a daily basis, which let you touch a larger pool of possible members.
  3. With all the changes that occured on facebook in the last two years, people are now aware of unstable sites that change their designs and features everyday… which is good. Now, people are able to adjust, they are more flexible on changes, and they are now aware that even if something change, they can continue to live on the site instead of hide in the closet!
  4. People are now aware that the look is not « that » important… compare to facebook and twitter, and ask yourself if you really need to invest thousands of dollars on the design of your site to keep people visiting your site!
  5. Complex features? nah…. just good ones that works. There was way too much bugs on facebook lately, people want things that work, not things that bling and shine… eye-candy stuff is good when you have nothing else to suggest!

these are some of the reasons why your forum/community can survive and rise from the dead. here at nexialys.net we suggest to have solid, stable and not-too-fancy featurettes added to your site to really answer your visitors needs, based on the goal of your site. that’s a good situation, as you will not have to create a circus to bring people on your site, you just have to advertise… and be prepared!

vbE is back online and ready for 3.8.x again!

What i’ve been up to the last months?

desolation, death, reconstruction… not a single day when i had not faced these…

i took the last 10 days in vacation, completely.. brain as well… 🙂

so here i come, 3 months and a half after the first quake, back at home, and ready to re-open the vBenhancer office. i did not catch up with the chores yet, but i’m sure it will be quick, as i need money.. rofl

Things will change a little around here, as i’m not going to use the original subscriptions formula anymore, and i will deprecate any job below 500$… there is plenty of bad coders on the web who are ready to roll out your « big money » projects.

i’ll be starting to code for mega websites, big projects, and other ways to grab a lot of money for the kids’ christmas gifts…

welcome back, myself.. 😉

I’d like to translate, but can’t post.

Hi,

I don’t have the permission to post in other threads, so I’m posting here. :grin_Tongue:

I’d like to translate Statistics Statistics and Tendencies into German.

May somebody give me the English english-phrases.xml? I don’t speak French, sorry!

It could be released at vB-germany.org, too.

btw: I love the MOD!

I’d like to have two more options in the next version:
FORUMHOME: Display Stats and Tendencies: Select the usergroups which are allowed to see Stats and Tendencies (separated by commas. For example: 1,2,4,6)

The simple possibility to let the week start on Monday, as it is usual in some regions of the world.

Thanx,
Netz

Products and Service back in march

After 3 weeks of dedication at the RC, i’ve managed to schedule my work for the next months, so the plans are quite easy for me now… if everything goes ok, in march I’ll be available to come back at work.

Though, even if nobody wish it, there are possibilities of a second big earthquake in the region in the next weeks, and not only for the Haiti plans, but also for the Dominican Republic as well… making our work worst… we know nothing of what would become, as the evaluations showed the possibility of a bigger quake…

I’ll keep you updated, but do not plan on using our services for a time, as i deactivated the subscriptions to make nobody loose a penny.
