Image hosting site and software - NOT Turnkey

This should be of interest to anyone. If you run any gaming sites at all, you will see a much added benefit to this offer though. I urge you to read the entire offer, because it might not be what you think.

This auction is for more than just your average run of the mill image hosting site. It's for the site AND a custom branded version of the software that uses it. To really appreciate it, you should visit www.prntscrn.net and download the program and use it. Also visit the site and upload a few images.

The package I am offering isn't for prntscrn.net itself, but for its back end and a branded version of the software that uses it.

The Site:
The image hosting script is not turnkey and is 100% custom. It has never been sold. It's not built for fancy features and accounts that nobody signs up for. It's built for speed and stability. To give you an idea of how fast and stable it is, I have prntscrn.net hosted on a Linux box with the following specs: Linux(Fedora3), AMD64 3000+ 2GB and IDE hard drives. Nothing special here. The hardest the site was ever hit was 12K uniques in one hour. The site regularly serves over page views a day and never slows, nor has the server ever come close to crashing.

The admin side is a simple, single page where you can do the following:
Get image by IP
Get image by name
Delete all images by IP
Delete image by name
Ban IP (with reason for banning)
Unban IP

Add/Remove/Edit bad word list
Process bad word list (this checks all the image names against the words in the bad word list and removes the images)

You can also view ALL the images by thumbnails, but if you have tens of thousands of images, this could take a while.

The site currently does not allow hot-linking, and if you try to hotlink an image you are shown the display page with the ads.


The Software:
The software itself is amazing. We spent several more months than we planned on when we developed it. Simply put, it's screenshot capturing software. It was intended for gamers to use, but since we added image importing people use it for a lot of things. It takes screenshots as fast or faster than any other software out there, and it's almost ALWAYS faster than screenshots taken by whatever game the person is playing. From within the software you can take screenshots (full desktop or active window), import images and manage them. View thumbnails and larger views (however large the application window is) and add descriptions to the images.

We are already 90% done integrating Pain.NET to do the image editing, which is like a mild version of Photoshop. It's a very impressive image editing application, and having it built in to the application is going to be a great feature. People have been asking for image editing for a while now.


The Package
The thing that really sets this apart is that the software works with the website. From within the software you can upload your images to the site. Then you can right click and image and copy the url, the forum code, the html for use on the web. Like I said, you really have to use the software to appreciated it.

Only 1 in about 5,000 people who download it experience a problem with it, but in almost all cases it is user error or a system oddity that either cannot be detected or avoided. For the most part, the software is solid.


What you're getting:

• You're getting the script that the website runs on.
• You're getting a branded version of the application
• ^what's this mean?^ --> I will alter the program to use buttons/color scheme of your choosing. The software will not contain any copyrights other than your own, and nobody will know where it came from.
• One year of updates. When I update the software with new features, you'll get your version with them as well. Even after that year, your software will still work with your site.

You're not buying prntscrn.net the website.
You're not buying the source code to the application.



Marketing Points:

• This package is viral marketing by design.
• The site promotes the software,
• The software promotes the site and
• Both are self promoting objects themselves.
• It could be used by anyone to promote a top notch image hosting site,
• But if you run any sort of video game related site, surely you can see how this could impact the growth of your community.
• For ever visitor that downloads the program,
• They're uploading their images.
• They're sharing their images with their friends.
• Their posting them in forums.
• Their telling their friends about it.Which reminds me, The option to "send to a friend" has already been added to the application for the next release.

I have set no price on this package yet. I will not be selling 50 copies for a couple hundred dollars, nor will I consider offers this low I don't want to devalue the package, and I don't want to sell a bunch of competing packages. I would consider selling the entire thing, but the offer would have to be substantial.

Please post your questions and offers here, or PM me for a quicker response. Thank you for reading the thread, and best wishes to you in your online ventures.

 

Can this be integrated into an already existent image hosting site?

 

That depends greatly on How your current site is set up.

 

Any price range?

 

I haven't had a whole lot of interest. Either people simply don't like the idea, or I'm not getting through or able to convey the opportunity here.

Regardless, Anything less than $600.00 wouldn't be worth it to me.
