    Using Two Domains

    Again, yes you can. But with most of the paid scripts you have will have to do a 301/302 rewrite and it still be the base domain. As an example, I purchased a domain to use for a local astronomy group to remap to a part of my site that is for their use and was going to be managed by a friend...

    XenForo No it does not really suck for SEO

    Even when related to threads. I posted a thread related to the Meade 35-4700-00 AutoStar controller LCD replacement and it ranked well in less than 24 hours.. I did add the AutoStar into the thread title after I created it.. so Google may take a bit to update. But doing some checks in various...

    Using Two Domains

    incorrect If you 301/302 rewrite astrowhat.org -> astrowhat.com astrowhat.net -> astrowhat.com You are serving ALL your content off one domain, the astrowhat.com. You are not "showing" them as individual domains. You are simply using a 301 or 302 rewrite to send traffic to the primary domain...

    Forum Software Drama Killing Forums

    The attitude on a support site can kill peoples desire to participate, thereby reducing the odds of them going to the site for support. That can result in someone not liking the script eventually. A friend of mine is in that exact position.

    Using Two Domains

    Do you mean serving the site so it shows as a different domain in the browser address bar? Or do you mean having multiple domain names that resolve back to a master domain name via rewrites? My Astro site answers on astrowhat.com, astrowhat.net and astrowhat.org. It used to do the same for...

    As AI kills search traffic, Google launches Offerwall to boost publisher revenue

    And what of sites that have no desire to obtain revenue from wha they offer the public? The AI BS is killing them also. And honestly, I'm pretty sure there are a lot more of them than "give us money" type sites.

    Do you like your forum domain name?

    It's hard to now find decent names that are short and descriptive in the COM/NET/ORG TLD's. So yes, I am happy with my primary site and even some of my other sites I spun up to just mess with different scripts. I really need to do more on my Chrono Collectors site as watches and clocks seem to...

    Forum Software Drama Killing Forums

    I don't know if I would go that far. But some scripts have their core sycophants that will defend their choice poison until they are blue in the face, even which confronted with facts that negate their position. They seem to take personal offense if you say anything negative about their chosen...

    XenForo Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    I think some may be under the misunderstanding that I "hate" SaaS. I do not. There is a time and a place for it... for some people. For me, that time and place will have to be WAY down the road when I reach the point that I cannot do it myself - and by that time I probably won't care about the...

    Looks so much better than most Xenforo sites do. It is well done.

    XenForo Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    That's why I said "each to their own". What works for me does not necessarily work for others. I would not expect someone that was brand new to Linux to administer a VPS/server. But I don't see the issue for someone that has been working with it since Linus released his first public kernel...

    XenForo Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    Yah... just tonight in that "plenty of time" I set up 6 MeLe's for a local company, trouble shot tracking issues on two of my astro rigs and worked on 2 articles (not released yet) and 3 reviews as well as replaced the back of the ETX-125EC with a solid aluminum one instead of the plastic to...

    XenForo Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    Maybe because they can't be "easily combined into one" for a reasonable price (like a large dedicated server running ProxMox or a similar VM solution)? Discourse, using their supported docker install is a standalone installation. Yes, you can futz around with putting nginx in front as a proxy...

    XenForo Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    If it is the only site you run...then yes SaaS can be of benefit, especially if you don't want to deal with any of the back end stuff - which I honestly still enjoy doing. My issue is when you have multiple sites. If you are already running a VPS/dedicated server for other sites, why pay for...

    XenForo Is XenForo turning into vBulletin?

    My biggest concern.... I prefer to utilize self-hosting. The extra SaaS features are not anything I would need and I already run a few VPS's for sites so server admin is not a big thing to me. But not being reasonably assured that self-hosted will be around awhile is somewhat troubling...
