    Astro What?

    I really don't know why I overlooked it. The other sites are more "play" sites to get me exposure to the scripts.. This one is one that has been around since 2018.

    Forum Bandwidth

    And those "forum only" sites are what are starting to struggle. The current internet user wants more to consume on a site than just posts. Granted.. they may not contribute much, but the tendency IS to take, take, take. And that really applies to all niches, from vehicles, to camping/RV, to...

    Astro What?

    I don't know why I missed it.. I had added the lower priority ones but forgot the main one! :eek:

    Was looking at buying XF site back from friend.. but

    I'll simply leave this link here. Do I agree with all he said? No, but I can feel where he is coming from. Honestly, I just renewed my license for XF into 2027.. but if I had read this I would probably had second thoughts. And really.. there is NO way in hell that I am willing to for another...

    Raffle image input

    I kind of liked that one myself. But I really think that this is more "encouraging" to get folks to participate if they have the credits built up.

    Raffle image input

    I'm not a fan of their BS copyright removal process.. as I do not think that $300+ USD is worth it for a global life-time removal. But I am also one that tries to color within the lines. And yes... I have to agree that there are many XF developers that are in it to maximize their income. That...

    Do you have a Facebook Group?

    Not a group.. but I do have a page. https://www.facebook.com/astrowhat.forum I find a page more conducive to a forum than a group would be. The group would probably be better served by a blog. And I really need to spend more time pushing content to my page.. I honestly simply forget about it...

    I use CF also.. but for many of the files that are obtained from my site, they do not cache them on their free tier. This is just in the last 24 hours... and realize.. that encompasses ZERO user posts on the site. As you can see... the majority of my inbound traffic goes to resources (many...

    Raffle image input

    I recently purchased a raffle add-on and a credits add-on (DBTech and their footer blurb REALLY sucks) to use for the site. Users will accumulate credits by posting and similar. The raffle add-on I am using (originally from Snogs then taken over by Ozzy47 and no under the control of Painbaker)...

    Using Two Domains

    No, I am not. Domain masking (or URL masking/domain cloaking) is another issue .. The simplest explanation for what is legitimate is you are sending traffic from one domain (or subdomain) to a primary domain that is consistent in its URL. There is no "masking" involved unless one wants to get...

    Using Two Domains

    @frm my response was to what you quoted from my post and replied to. So saying that 301/302 rewrites are prohibited is incorrect. Hosting the same site on individual URL's and that makes it appear the site is different domains is prohibited without additional licenses. That is what got several...

    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...

    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...
