At this time I think nowhere, we should all rethink our next steps and also monitor the situation around themes.wordpress.net and Matt.
Most people promote their themes in several other websites right? we don't all depend on WP.net. Just fill those sites up with more themes
Yeah, but people don't know these sites as well as WP.net, don't you think? It's about marketing too.
I don’t understand why that pile of dun website is so popular. It’s hardly ever online, when it is its extremely slow and buggy as hell. No real way of support apart from a crappy comments page and complete and utter 'up their own arse', arrogant sh|ts as owners/moderators. I say it’s a good thing in the long run. I can’t describe how annoyed I get when someone who is starting to do well lets it go straight to their heads and become scum.
I agree with you on some things. I mean how many times were we without thumbnail images on the pages! Like MOST of the time! You'd think they'd be able to fix something as easy as that up, but no... all they did was put some AdSense up there to reap the benefits of additional traffic. "No sponsored themes please but hey, click these sponsored ads instead an make us a ton of cash!" I think most people got to see those nice black boxes and thought "WTF??"
BTW check www.themes.wordpress.net its got bugged?? or is the cleaning in progress? 1. it seems ppl cant find login page 2. download status down
Hey guys I am wondering what it would cost to get a custom script for uploading wordpress themes to like themes.wordpress.net we want to make it that simple. Me and a friend are willing to set a site up like that but first we would like a quote on how much that script "Custom Made" would cost. We already have the domain name.
SFTech maybe you should post in the programming section of BST for quotes I'm not a programmer but for sure it'll cost in the hundreds, maybe below 1k
Yea I was thinking of starting a WPshack.com fund $25+ donation will get you a link on the site when it's ready. Thanks for the info I will do right now.
Well whatever starts getting popular or even if a DP members starts one, let me know I'll post about it on my blog
Well I am looking around for coders for a script for WPshack.com I want a Private Message system on the script to so people can sponsor right on the site as well as soon as I find someone who can do it and I get a site up I will tell you
We want it to be run by members here as a free service Buy, sell, trade and upload sponsors As soon as I get a price I am going to start up a donation account on paypal and if you donate $30+ you will get a link on the main page of the site once it's released. The site will be none profit except for the links people sell so no ads at all. First I want to get my reputation up here so that people will trust that I will not take their donations for myself and it will all go to the site.
After the site is in development (so we can see something and such) I may be able to endorse it Good luck
Oh well, I don't really care, in fact I think it's quite a good thing since a lot of people were abusing it. I'm just going to be using "Free theme designed by (site name or keywords)" and I won't get in any trouble
