What you guys think now! ?

She did the first, Arty the next, the one I did was last... then converted into TAZ.

 

Okay. If you say so. The facts are simply otherwise, but you are entitled to your opinion.

 

My point is that like most on these admin forums, I visit each one daily at some point or other. By doing so I notice changes made hitting the forums daily, one day I'm landing on the forum - next day featured threads is shown (using same url link). So if I'm visiting TAZ and see they have FT as landing page now, then visit XA and spot same thing done - then later both revert back to using forum as landing page more or less same time.

How do you think it starts to look?

My point is, all the admin forums are looking at what each other are doing and in many instances doing same thing. It's part of the problem why so many admin forums running on XenForo all look same, because they all more or less use same mods as one another

 

We had it as a landing page long before TAZ even converted. We left it up well after, only removing after being told others did not use it, as well as looking at analytics.

How are we copying a landing page if we had one up, styled, and running before the other even had the software to run Featured Threads?

 

Like I said, there is just confusion.

I appreciate the opinion you have, but, the facts are simply otherwise.

 

Both XA and TAZ have been activating the FT as landing page "on more than one occation". One minute it's used, next not used.

That would be a valid statement if it wasn't for the fact both sites have not only done it once. Seen both TAZ and XA constantly changing it to landing page, then going back to forums. We're not talking about just the once. So you're dates are irrelevant, seen both both forums swapping and changing it at least about 5 times now.

 

We have turned ours off once, and it was the last time. It doesn't and hasn't went on and off. If they expire, then none will show. We only have them on the forum view page now, and it's been that way for quite some time. If none are showing, it is simply because none have been featured.

Again, there is some major confusion on what you think you have seen.

 

No confusion here, like I say I visit the admin forums daily and know what I see. If you think XA has only turn on Featured Threads as landing page their the once, you think that. I've seen different, at least 5 times - one minutes it's landing page, next minute it's forums again (and happens to coincide when TAZ do same).

 

Like the quote from Lisa that I run XA too?

Either way, we've had FT since XA reopened. We turned the landing page on well before TAZ converted, and we turned it off after seeing analytics and hearing from members. There has been no on and off, on and off, on and off. You may think you know what you see, but I an the one that turned it off, so I know.

Simple misunderstanding and slight confusion. It's understandable. We in no way shape or form copy anything from there, dates on posts showing what we have done show those facts.

 

Who exactly am i following using this theme or anything i have on my forum? Just asking because from what i can see most of it is XenForo plugins ?

 

Don't take any notice of them, they're just peeved that you started a new admin forum because they run em. I see you managed to get some members from TAZ on your forum and that is what's bugging them. If it wasn't for that, they wouldn't even be moaning if your forum was dead unused. They're going out their way to try and discredit the forum too others.. and same people involved as per usual.

 

Well honestly i think between all the admin forums ive seen im probably the furthest away from TAZ and most of my site you really cant see because you are not a premium member but if you did see it you would possible be amazed as to how different it actually is. If i may ask i really want to know what people feel is copied from taz ? If it is plugind or anything of that, it is not copied simple because its xenforo not taz ive spend over 400$ in customizable features for my site and none are directly compied from anywhere.

 

Your side bar blocks are replicas.

Also, I think XA only worries about Xenforo admins. The while vb vs. ipb vs. xf drama you get from other places stays out. I don't necessarily think Lisa is aiming for the membership type other admin forums have, but to be certain, it's best to ask her.

I'm not peeved, myself. As far as the XA owner, ask her.

DriveHosting asked for opinions, I have mine. Simple as that.

 

Yep i did ask and i value them. Actuslly wanted to ask what people thought of xenporta or should i go with WP front end for blogs etc? Also how about the Digital Point ad script

 

Personally, I am not a fan of XenPorta. Plus, developers are not really Dana of adding blocks for it. XenPorta 2, not sure, time will have to tell on that one.

 

What about a WP

 

I don't mean you Sheldon, I see that you give honest feedback.

 

Sorry, out of my area. Cannot help with that. The sites I've done for myself have just been simple XF sites, as the things I create are never really serious ventures. I usually use whatever is available in the resources area.

 

Can you clarify what you're referring to here? XenAdmins has always been on XenForo, TAZ (I believe) only converted a few months ago, we have used Featured Threads since the day Brogan released it (we may have even run it during beta testing) which was long before TAZ was on XF, we haven't changed our layout (forumwise since we opened), nothing has changed on XA except the fact we turned off Featured Threads as the landing page because members stated their preference was to land directly on the forum.

We're also not what I'd call an admin forum as such, we don't really focus on the how to run your forum day to day, we focus on how to do things with the software.

So, what things are we doing the same? Not that I really care what you claim, if I'm honest. What TAZ does holds no interest for me. The only time they stirred my interest was when they messed with my account. Other than that, don't visit don't care. So it's hard to copy what a site you don't look at is doing.

 

@GTB fair play you are a prize plonker, you really should find out facts before sounding off with ridiculous assumptions
