Would switching to XFORO bring GFY back to life?
 

Xforo does a great job of allowing people to follow each other's updates as well as notifying people of new posts on their threads (in addition to likes, etc).

Do you think switching to Xforo would bring back some of GFY's past engagement glory?

Why or why not?

Assuming they are all on that platform?

sure. it will work as long as you throw in a free time machine to the year 2000.

:)

What is Xforo?

I think the GFY reduction is because it is both annoying and unutterably boring to see the same sigless trolls posting the same poorly constructed political bullet points at each other.

It's another commercial forum script which is better then vbulleting and to which most of huge forums online switched from vbulletin. The reason why gfy have low traffic is simple - adult industry is more less death, majority of webmasters are not doing paysites anymore, but cams,dating and mobile.

Maybe this is true but in my reality I've been shooting my content and creating sites since '99. I've seen a new industry settle into itself over the years and a set way of doing things while weaker competition drops off or cashes out and you end up with a few really big players, a few less big, etc.

Back on topic I think Xforo would be great as long as the design allows for GFY to keep its edgy look :thumbsup

I think the main problem for the one did not switch yet is because many VB features and add on is still not compatible with xenforo. A switch over will result in Lost of exemple : reputation point, lost of like and dislike etc... I have a talk about it a while back and this was mainly the reply i was getting when asking around.

... and ads :winkwink:??

I am not sure is there any vb only feature used here at all. I mean, it is quite basic VB here, even more basic then fresh install of vb.

Unless Eric don't want the Headache lol for a week to stabilize the transfer to Xenforo. There is Always a Huge headache coming from a transition of that type no mather what. :winkwink: But im all for it i would like to see it happen for GFY too.

uhhhhh nooopeee :2 cents::2 cents:

I looked and like the OAuth signup for another project I am working on -- thanks for posting this.
I am looking at a heavy mod for a community site .

Noting wrong with this forum.. Other then the "viagra and fake news" pushers.... Please note the quotations ...:1orglaugh

Was that the peak year for GFY? I thought it was later.:helpme:2 cents:

do you add media in those articles for $8? pm me op

Trump single-handedly brought life back to GFY.

Yeah digital point moving from vbulletin to xenforo was a huge task , but they had to do it as vbulletin was crushing toomuch. Tho, this board dont have problem with toomuch traffic lol.

Meanwhile all you do is complain and never add any content. People like "YOU" are the reason GFY is dead. People who bitch about the content here while never adding any...

If only someone would build a wall to keep all the bad content out, suddenly things would be... dead.

yet another closeness founded from Trump... :1orglaugh


@op, doesn´t bother me if the forum DB changes, I like to chat here through my heavy work load days to relax :thumbsup
