Ideas and questions

[utomo]

I was trying to find phpBB hosting script, and then found this.

I want to make such as
[spam]
and others

But with ads ( so I can survive )

does phpBBhs
1. Have automatic Directory listing ?
1b. With keyword search too.
2. SEO, so search engine can follow the directory and index all forum ?
3. Have advanced ads managements. as we need to generate money from the ads to support the hosting.
- Banner Quota for Client1, 2, 3, etc
- Banner Statistics for each forum, and totals
- Google adwords supports.
- Shared Banner/ ads quota between hosting provider and the moderators.
- Text Ads
and others
4. Functions to Banned some words, so people cannot create forum with specific words.
5. Portals Ranking.
6. Have predefined catagory, with also options for suggested a new catagory?
7. and also catagory management. maybe we can delete some catagory, move some forums to a catagory, create a new catagory. merge some catagory, and others
8. Instant activations, or pending activations. we can choose.
9.

sorry if I ask too much. but I believe it can be good for all of us
Thanks

Directory which I mean, is something like this

[spam]

I hope phpBBhs have this kind of things
or better if we can have sub directory/ sub catagory

and also the search functions: in Title, Descriptions, and Title and descriptions.

I will buy phpBBhs if phpBBhs have this

I'm not competing with anyone. If you want to use that script, go ahead and use it.

1. yep
1a. its a useless feature
2. for directory and website pages: yes. for forums: you can install any phpbb seo mod yourself
3. yep
4. yep
5. nope. its useless
6. huh?
7. yep
8. yep, and with lots of security features to prevent spam

So... all of those "features" are about directories. What does it have to do with hosting script itself? Absolutely nothing. Its a shiny addition, but it's quite useless for anything other than SEO, and directory script in phpbbhs is more than enough to index all hosted forums properly.

You should worry about real hosting features such as ability to backup/restore forums from control panel, ability to manage database load across several databases, security features that don't let spammers register 100+ forums per second, spam prevention features that don't let certain words to be posted on any hosted forum, ability to search forums (not useless directory search), etc... which phpbbhs has.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

maybe some of my questions is not so clear. so lets me explain it to you again.

1b look at [url removed]
it has Portals: 22608
so user may find difficulties to find Manga forum, VB Programming, or other specific forums.
with the Forum keyword search this will help a lot.
where we can search manga or vb programming in the Title.

and we got the list of forums which have this Title.

5. for portals ranking.
look at [url removed]
user can give rating if the forum is good, and it will attract more new user to join. and forum which not good will try to get better ranking by serving the community better.

regarding your concern.
Yes, after this main features. we need to see the next things, such as what you mentions.
I will post some other questions for advanced things.

Thanks

You can add it yourself. Script is not encoded, code is easily editable. Script is modular, so you can add/replace modules any time, and whole directory is one big module.
