What kind of free open source scripts would you like to see in adult?
 

The community should have done this years ago to create scripts that are free and open to everyone. Just looking for ideas...

Nobody gives a shit, it seems.

It definitely answered my question. :)

I won't be pursuing this at all.

I would like a script where I could use it to capitalize on my free joins with email.
For example... Bonga Cams offers 100 tokens on a free join to member. I'd like a script where my free join, on my site, is plugged into that offer and in their profile says... redeem your free tokens now. Get them over to bonga already logged in... make them spend the tokens.
Don't know if Bonga can do it... I do know Dating Gold WAS willing to do that.

So to recap... you would need to find Programs willing to work out backend API's on free joins and figure out a way to make cash. You could likely make yourself cash by becoming a 2nd tier affiliate and earn like 5% or something.

Not many people collect emails and that would be a good incentive to do so. Turn 100 free joins worth 0 into $500. You'd likely get 1000's of affiliates and you'd make 5% on everything.

I'm interested in a free script that will erase all the free shit from the internet.

I did this two years ago. It failed hard because when you offer payment on free join you attract every scammer and frauder on earth. Every offer I worked with cut me off free joins within a couple of months.

Revshare works as well if setup to convert

I tried to back out the free joins with revenue myself. 99% of the traffic that wasn't internal (mine) was shit and fraud.

There is a way. You and I couldn't have thought almost the same thing unless it was a money making dominating machine.

Why do you want free scripts?

Making things free, easier to use, automated doesn't increase the pot we live off. It only increases the number of people taking out, so decreasing the money for everyone. Look at how easy it is to put a Tube, blog these days, has that increased the size of the pot for those with skills and talent?

I understand why those without skills and talent want this.

Open source sounds like a shitload of work for a porn webmaster . . .

Thank you for showing us once again that you have no idea what you're talking about! :thumbsup

I think it's better to make a "universal" open source script, which can be used for anything, and can be even made good money by providing enterprise support. Especialy since there is very little now script which are "adult purpose only". For example TGP used be useful only for adult, but since TGP is dead format now, no more need for it.

Klen, you'd be surprised how many people still post to TGP sites, build galleries, etc. If not for the traffic, which has obviously shifted to other areas, but rather for other reasons: there's still traffic gained from them, there's the backlinks aspect of it, and there are still sales coming from pic galleries. I know some folks cannot see the value in TGPs, but I can absolutely say without hesitation that there is a very solid demographic that still visit TGP sites and buy memberships based on pic galleries.

Now, TheHun's custom scripting asidem the only real publicly accessible TGP Script is from years ago, JMBSoft's TGPX. AdultKing started a php7.x conversion on it, but don't think he finished it. And there's been nothing as good or as flexible as TGPX since.

Konrad's TGP Script was not a traditional style TGP script so cannot be compared. His was more of a picture gallery display script, but could be used for pplugs, just not traditional partners and gallery link submissions. I think this contributed to it not being as well received / purchased as it otherwise might have.

But yeah, there's a few people, even registered members on this site, who run successful TGP based sites to this day, attracting submitters, hardlink buyers, ad networks, etc. ;)

Frankly, the same can be said for Arylia. There has not been a script as good for building independent template based galleries as Arylia. It's just the best script for that task. It has some flaws and limitations that, if someone took it on, would be quite well received.

Whatabout smart thumbs ?

Having used several of them, from TGP Brownie (Germes) to TGPX and Smart Thumbs, in my opinion, SmartThumbs was less friendly to submitters than the others. Certainly, it benefitted the skim traders and site owner. Conversely, unless you had the top thumb, it did little else for the submitter. (A LOT of this depended on how the site owner set it up ... owners could have done longer cast times to give the submitted gallery more exposure, but many just didn't do that... opting instead of higher clicked/skimmed thumbs to increase their trade ratios).

The exception to this may be Smart TXT, like Library of Thumbs uses. Which is still a great site to this day.

Again, this was/is just my opinion.

There's a reason great old-school sites like PinkWorld, Elephant List, Shemp, etc went TGPX and others like WorldSex/Al4a went Brownie. None of the larger sites went SmartThumbs after COMUS died. TGPX filled that niche with it's flexibility, lower cost and ease of use.

Yes i noticed same thing, TGPX was pretty good for fast proccessing of submitted galleries, while ST was better for skimming.

I don't want free scripts. I want to build the free scripts.

I am unsure if your last sentence was directed at me or not, but if so, you probably should have got to know me better first.

The benefits of open source are well documented and unlike majority of the people in this industry, I would actually like to see people who can not afford the startup costs to be able to enter the industry at a higher level with better tools.

Majority of the scripts that I have come across over the years are complete garbage. Just because they appear to work fine on the front end doesn't mean there is a slew of chaos happening in the back end.

Benefits to open source software can help build a community around it that can provide supporting services that others with talent/skills could take advantage of. For example, the possibility of a theme store built inside the CMS itself where developers could showcase their work. Same thing with plugins. Same thing with content. Same thing with a services marketplace. Same thing with advertising. Etc...

The biggest issue with this industry at the moment is the inability to think beyond what already exists and for people like you to explode your negative diarrhea all over everyone else.

Anyway, glad to see you're not dead yet, I am genuinely surprised actually.

I would start it myself but have an open repo on github where others could send in issues and pull requests to help contribute to code, documentation, etc...

This is more on par with what I was thinking. Have sections for various types of websites for example a tube section, a picture gallery section, porn reviews, etc...

In the settings if you only wanted to create a reviews website, select to activate only that module, set it as your root home page, enter content, and now you have a review site. If you wanted a tube site with reviews, enable the tube module and set as root home page, enable reviews and set that to be on domain.com/reviews/ or whatever custom url.

I like this idea because it could start with a single module and add them as we go.

A modular setup with a base set of core scripts, allowing users to create modules to add-on and extend functionality is a real nice idea. And of course, the ability to create premium add-ons provides a potential revenue stream to many.

Ultimately, it all starts with a very well thought out relational database core structure. This, of course, can be the most important aspect of the entire project to avoid having one of those "damnit, I should have anticipated that, now I need to go back and revise code" episodes.

I would consider going the headless cms route. So the front end would pull data in by API end points. This way I could build out a front end as the default but it would be optional. People with the skills to do so could then create custom front ends using React, VueJS, WordPress, vanilla php or JavaScript or whatever they wanted. Anyway, lots to consider...

This script always worked for me.

This what I was just going to talk about, but with a twist - Basically a CMS that produces parts of a page that could be developed as plugins - So for example:

1> A plugin for producing a Toplist on a page

2> A more complicated plugin for producing a tube section and would need to produce multiple sub pages

3> Relevant to adult social shares

4> Traffic exchange

5> TGP

6> Blogging

7> Social features such as comments etc.

Advanced search and algorithm based sorting - Your forte I understand, could be part of the core -

The list is endless...

The twist is that this would all be pushed as plain HTML pages by a central core script to the main (very basic, fast) HTML server meaning that the script could even be a desktop (Electron?) application - It would need templates that would need to be as simple as possible. The plugins would have settings in the core to customise them.....

Some functionality could be done on a subdomain on a cheap VPS, things like form processing - Email marketing etc - Again some basics in the core but with the ability to use plugins...

These are a few random ideas I have have had - But it boils down to the idea of a incredibly fast site with only HTML, CSS and CDN hosted media on most of the front end - The only non-html pages would be user admin and data processing pages on a separate subdomain on a seperate server that would not be indexed.....

I think this is the way WP will go eventually. A lot of people are doing it in a way with Headless and WP but they are just scraping pages produced by WP. They have very limited functionality and I think are far from ideal - You are stuck using a loads of third party apps to replicate functionality and most are not adult friendly - Comments by Discus is an obvious one...

I am sure this sort of setup is already being planned and development has started for similar mainstream projects - Lets get (Adult) in on the ground floor and show them how it's done - We used to be the group that drove innovation on the internet.....

Sorry that was all a bit random, but it is basically just following my thought process - I have been thinking about this for months - You have just gotten a look into my brain, it's no wonder I have issues!..

We shall call it "EDDYTHEDOG" - LOL.....

Eddie??? Eddie??? You're much more productive when your not drinking. Great post :thumbsup

Good post thank you, this is basically what I was talking about. I called them modules, plugins would be the same thing. The API endpoints would be front end agnostic, you could create your web app and native iOS/Android app using the same back end with whatever front end technology that you wish. Basic HTML pages generated by php, python, whatever in the backend would work fine. Using a javascript framework like react or vue or whatever would work fine. Vanilla JS using the simple fetch method on the API to pull in data would be fine. For WordPress, since it's so popular, there could be an extendable WP plugin that would make calling into the end points simple with no coding required. For example, display your TGP page in the main content area, but still have your sidebar and header managed by WP. This could go in a million different directions, I am just saying I like the idea of separation.

Insanemidget admits I'm right in his post.

My comments aren't directed at him but at the 10,000s of people who don't have the talent, money or skills to make it without free tools. By including them in the industry it has led to a dumbing down and loss of revenue across the board.

It's not entirely aimed at free scrips butat the plethora of free stuff that has swamped the pool and now means more people earn less. Are you standing up for the free tubes, free TGPs and all the other tools that everyone uses?

Your average "webmaster" can barely install a wordpress plugin or point the DNS to their whitelabel.

I can't wait until this board has a LIKE Button! :thumbsup:thumbsup

Ok, let me clarify here because I am targeting two different worlds. For the newbies or non-tech people, this would include a pre-made front end that is optional. Using this front end would make it just as easy as WordPress to use.

If you have any technical background, I am saying that you could avoid the front end portion and simply use the back end that would have an admin area to add in your content. You could create a custom front end using anything really that would pull in json data to display however you want, providing more flexibility and features in how you use the system.

I hope that makes sense.

Paul, eat my ass.

Anyway, I am going to just start something up and when I have something worth talking about I'll show it and go from there.

TGPx is licensed under the Apache license. I would like to see it rebuilt and upgraded to work under PHP 7+. (Right now it works on 5.6 if you can find the script.) Gallery building has a small and loyal following and I bet there are others out there that feel the same way.

So, something like...






















































Wordpress?

Anyhow...a headless cms for any sort of content with a built in bitcoin/crypto paygate.

Sure, exactly like WordPress. :upsidedow

I don't need this CMS, I was just seeing if people would be interested in something like this. It has not been encouraging so far to spend my time on.

And with all the free stuff available they have been allowed to take traffic from the more skilled webmasters. Even if it's only a couple of 1,000 a day collectively it's millions and represent a danger.

Are you fucking retarded?

In that case you should sue wordpress authors , they made things easy for millions :1orglaugh
