New Directory Script In Production

On Browsing the info.vilesilencer forums earlier in the week I noticed a new directory script which is currently been programmed and developed by the cantufind network its called phplynx

Anyone who has been around for a while may remember cantufind.com before it got sandboxed by google a long time ago.

As per there forum cantufind.com/forum they are requesting beta testers for the second phase of testing.

Just thought I would let you guys n gals know that there is something else to play with.

The discussions and features which have been revealed up to now look very promising and I personnally cant wait to get me hands on it for a test run.

Thanks

Remember on the 1st 40 active users will be considered for and enhanced version of the script once beta testing is complete. If you want to be a part of it register on the forum and get your application in.

Eh theyll have a hard time competing with phpLD.

 

Well if the script is good I'll consider using it for future directory projects.

 

being that the owner use to be a phpLD user, and visits the phpld forums quite often to check on how things get implemented, you'll be hard pressed not to see rips just like esyndicat did compared to phpLD.

I look at all of these script being made and that's all they are. rips of the best script out there e.g. phpLD.


and remember one thing, even though phpLD does not incorporate everything including outside MODs into its script, remember that for that reason alone it creates COMMUNITY, relationships, and interaction. phpLD is just above and beyond a directory script when you look at everything it involves. If noone can see beyond that, they are simply blind.

 

I think one of the most important things a developer can do when creating project or script that people will use on their sites is make it easy to modify. They need to make it easy to change the design, the feel, everything about it. Thats one of the keys to phpLD's success and as well as many other scripts/games. Allowing people to create and add to your program is like letting people contribute to this forum. Its self creating content which helps markets your script.

I don't believe that phpLD is the end all "directory script" but i have yet to see a competitor who has a nicer script.

I believe we'll see a new directory script become very competitive in the next year or so that utilizes very efficient admin systems which allow directory admin to take far less time.

 

and that is done via the first and most important in what i exclaimed: Community

all 'competitors' trying to maintain a phpLD level and/or presence are nothing but rips.

that remains to be seen, but im guessing you're working on your own script.

but with regards to admin panel, phpld 3.1 will have a reworked admin.

rob

p.s. im not a phpld developer nor associated with the script in any way, shape or form, other than being a purchaser and directory owner.

 

Yeah I'm working on one.. when I have time. On release it should have a far better admin area then any directory script i've seen and i'd say it should be even easier to make skins for it. Of course phpLD has a lot of features it would take me a long time to replicate, expecially different languages and security features.

I really have no idea when i'll have time to work on it. Hopefully sometime in the next couple months. I'm just about finished with my Skype call center (at least a nice first version), and my directory submission system is almost done. The Directory script is on the back burner.

Of course any new script will have a hard time being competitive because of the sheer amount of people already using phpLD. This is in addition to the fact that phpLD is a great script.

 

Actually, no. I can say we do not try to make something similar to phpLD We will try to make something more great.
FYI, eSyndiCat released a version with brand-new admin panel.. phpLD will have a new one in a new version. Who rips? just thinking...

 

Somehow I have so worries about phplynx whatsoever at this point.
Really, they haven't even released a script yet, can they have not tested this script on hundreds of configurations and users. Even if they have nice features, they have a long road ahead of them in terms of compatability and usability.

In my opinion the writing style of the the creator of this thread appears to be the same as that of the owner of cantufind. I'm not sure why they are writing in "3rd person".

 

Yes, and in your words;
"we do not try to make something similar to phpld"
and that's because you don't have innovative goals and therefore although you don't try to do it, it just happens because you have nothing to go on.

If your arguement to claim who rips who is based purely on an admin panel, you are seriously lacking the once again 'innovative thinking' it takes to recognize what a real rip is. All anyone would have to do it take a look at the two scripts and see what you've just stripped from phpld's MODset (btw which is a REAL community with ACTIVE members and ACTIVE posting, and not some signup bot like on your forum) and added them all in one script.

You're lacking everywhere and most importantly you're failing to realize how everyone of those MODs brings a community together. I sure as hell don't see anyone from your forums over here offering help and on a non-stop consistant basis for your script. But guess what, phpLD does have that, because it is a community based project whether it's paid for or not. ooohhh there goes that word again... 'community'

phpLD has brought me to DP, and from DP I have made a very fair amount of respectful friendships. DP has welcomed me with open arms, and for that I have been very appreciative for that. They show such a high level of respect towards one another, and for that reason alone, I will always manage to help where it's needed, granted I have the time for it.

So honestly, I don't know how many times I'd have to say it in order for it to sink into your head, but phpLD brings people together and in more than one place. Your community closes doors.

You see, there was actually a time when i was open to suggestion, and when i went to your forums, signed up, said hello and stated who i was, everyone tried to throw stones and called conspiracy even after i said who i was in my initial post. But when i dished back out to shut them all up, in which i did(and in a nice way), they couldnt take it and cried foul, and i got banned. BANNED Simon, for joining your forum as a new comer.

I'm going to end this here, but I can write a damn book and put a lot of things to shame on your behalf, but honestly, this was written in my spare free time, but now i have some people to help with their phpLD.

You won't gain anymore publicity or spark from my posts anymore. We both know who the leader is and we both know how you've stripped from it. So with this little minnie series of a post being put to rest i'd just like to say, good luck with your script and don't worry because, we'll have some new stuff you can strip out to help better yours down the line.

Regards,
Rob


@klown
I really look forward to seeing what you can bring to the surface in terms of features. Best of luck with your endeavours.

Rob

 

well,
Actually I do not intend to argue at all I just express my ideas about our software as its owner.

Hey, we have our own wishlist. It might look strange for you but we do have a community We just do what our customers ask for. We have no need to go to your sites, or any other site to look for 'innovative' features as we already have a long to-do list for our future versions suggested by our customers.

Good luck with your new version, Rob

 

Hey guys lets not turn this into my dads bigger then your dad battle,

Everyone is allowed and opinion, lets just wait and see what happens.

So you are saying what here, how long have I been a contributing member of the phpld forums? Albeit not recently.

 

Ok, so that is you. Actually, with 14 posts I did not recognize your username, as I couldn't remember seeing before.

 

Yup a Massive 14 posts on here, Frequent these forums quite a lot, for a read and information finding. as I do many other forums.

Thanks
Psyclones.

 

So, if you are the one that owns cantufind, why was your initial post here written in the third person? Why not just announce who you are, and what you are selling, instead of pretending to be someone that "Just Happened" across a new script in production?

 

He/She isn't the one who owns Cantufind, I do, see my name Big Up to Psyclones though for posting, was appreciated and the feedback very interesting. So for point of fact, this person was not

they genuinely did, maybe you've never browsed the web and stumbled across something totally new? I doubt it though!

Hope that clears that point up for you.

 

Thanks for clearing that up cantufind,

dvduval was verifing that I was psyclones, as psyclones from phpld and not cantufind, you know the person who posted above.

Jesus I wish I had not of bothered even post the thread, these forums are so quick and news gets on here normally before any other website.

Thought I would beat the rush and post something which was not already mentioned on the forums, people seem to like throwing mud at each other more and more theses days. Are we that insecure?

If you dont want to know dont look, ignore the post, be happy, whatever, I really dont care.

I dont need to justify myself here I have been around for a while,
