Topshelf Exotic Forum- New look!

Click here: http://topshelfexotic.com/vbulletin/

WOW!!! A fauna clone!!! Same basic lay out. Same high and low reptation display. Even the advertsing program is samesame. Pretty balsy to post a link here to it don't ja think?

actually all those options are publicly distributed modifications packaged by various programmers, free of charge. and the revenue system, adrevenue, is a paid software by w3matter products. considering vbulletin themselves dont support "hacks or mods" and our programmer stated that there is no reliable mod or hack made free of charge to handle such ads we opted to just pay for the software. nothing custom or proprietary about them making them exclusive anywhere. in fact there are tons of vbulletin systems running the exact same modifications. we also polled our users before the software upgrade to see what mods they would like and they were added. it was obvious that most of the users who frequent both sites would like to see some of the same things....

Just helping a friend out, not my forum. Just because it's the same software doesn't mean its a clone......there are 2 major forum programs, Invision and VBulletin. He was on Invision but switched to VBulletin since most reptile people are used to that particular software. On the flipside I run a fish forum and most of the fish boards are Invision, people in that circuit have gotten used to that design. His site is small, only a few hundred people......hardly any threat.

Plus see Chris' response. Didn't see you were posting at the same time bro.......LOL, what timing.

no thanks rich, really. i had not planned on advertising anything here but your intentions were good. there are always a handful of rejects who wish to turn everything into a competition or war. to be expected....

not a problem, i figured someone would post something like that eventually. good to nip it right in the bud quickly and move on......

riiiiiight. You just picked that advertsing progrm out of thin air. You just thought of that reputaton section off the top of your head. Bet you never saw them anywere at all before have you. And the green color looks real nice to. Just a coinsidence.

hey....... you know what. you just made this so much easier for me to prove my very point.


guess what? the reputation system is BUILT INTO vbulletin. it comes with the software.

Rich had it turned off until recently.

And the green color..... had you seen our forums before.... guess what? They were green. Whats the color scheme we've used for Top Shelf Exotics....?

the advertising system is a standalone script\software that works with anything. not to mention its a pay-software, licenced based. its basically like saying you run windows and if I choose to run windows too I'm ripping you off. Not very intelligent.

The same thing..... Talk about grasping at straws. I'm sorry buddy, but what is it the kids say now? OWNED?

I'll accept your apology anytime now. Must suck being proven wrong and ignorant.

Well we know you're not a genius by the way you spell. Here are a few other sites for you to peruse. BTW they all use the same program, some even have green on them but most of them are blue so now you can say they are all copying off each other.

I could go on but if you haven't gotten the point by now, you never will.
