After the final version of WWF 7 comes out there will be more portals just like MadDogs, supposedly better and free... Should come back here and ask again after the final WWF 7 is out.

| well guys, for your information, i find maddog's portal is a very well-scripted integration of the best apps web wiz guide offers at a very low price for the hardwork put into it, the support service that is offered is excellent and overall ease of use and modification is unmatched. Borg's forum is the best asp forum on the internet and Maddog helps with it and shares his fees with Borg to encourage him to continue his hardwork for everyone to profit. He is a major contributor to keeping this forum free. The vast list of features his portal has to offer is unbeatable and lots of hardwork goes into it so i understand that people would want to be credited and thanked for their hardwork. Just thank people like him and Borg for giving you opportunities like this. Thanks, Drew (Maddog). |

That was um... cheesy 
Let's hope that someone makes a portal that is better than MadDogs and free. Free forum, free portal, free applications. Free stuff helps the ASP community mature. The only reason PHP has grown so fast is because it is free and a lot of components that relate to PHP are free; like MySQL (the database that most PHP applications use) and Apache (a free web server that most PHP applications use) If you are into making a profit from this then all I can say is *bleep* you. Let it be known that I strongly appose MadDog selling his portal and Borg taking a cut from its sales. MadDog helps Borg for free just like the rest of us giving him good ideas and encouraging him. I believe that this forum would still be free even if MadDog's portal was free.

nobody in their right state of mind would spend as much time as borg and maddog do to enhance the applications and provide support for free. other people could try to do it free but they would not spend as much time or keep quality up to as high standards as borg or maddog. no need for harsh language. sit back and think that they do this as a job but also because they like sharing their expertise and giving you high quality asp applications and portals. P.S. Many php apps require purchase. You should know that. |

Many might require purchase but not most, or not as many as ASP applications. If you choose ASP you are faced with other costs that you don't find with PHP. IIS and MSSQL are not as affordable *wink, wink* as MySQL and Apache, compare ASP/MSSQL and PHP/MySQL hosts. "Us" ASP supporters already pay a higher price for ASP. Why pay for applications that can be free or why not support the development of future free applications like (maybe) a free and better Portal for WWF? Do you think the people that write Post Nuke, PHP Nuke, or even phpBB spend less time to produce, enhance, and support their applications than MadDog or Borg? Keep in mind that all those applications are free and are in no way inferior to what MadDog and Borg produce. Lets keep ASP as free as we can.

Why shouldn't people get paid for their hard work? Should Microsoft give away their software as well? Wake up and smell the coffee...this is the real world. If some people want to give things away for free, fine. If others want to charge for QUALITY products, fine. If you don't like it, write your own Portal and give it away...after you finish putting in about 500 hours of work you may change your mind...

boyohboy, I did not delete anything, that's why I said I don't know what you are talking about. MadDog is the only one allowed to re-package wwg applications together with his portal. He sells it and gives a share to bruce. Whoever wants to make a portal needs to know that you cannot package the wwg applications with it so you could only provide your code and give dl links for the apps. There has been a big discussion about it and that is just the way it is. Make a portal for yourself, this is a learning experience, not to copy someones code. |

I think 90% of the problem with post like this is that most of the negetive comments to posting apps for sale come from some 13-18 year old that has never built anything that was either good enough or big enough to sell for any more than a few bucks. Now, with that in mind lets look back at those negetive users and see if there is any truth in that. 1) is that I have built more apps and add-ons for this forum and portal app than everyone here. (besides drew aka. maddog) 2) If you think that it is a bad deal to have to pay for, that I know of 1200 hours of coding, then piss off. 3) if you think the PHP boards are soooo great. go code in those! 4) if you think that you can build a better portal.... Go for it man! (finger) |

-boRg-, I personaly think you should charge for webwizforum v7. Just keep v6 free for an "example" of part of v7. If you charged for v7 im sure you would have ALLOT more money for bills, this website, and you might even be able to live off of it! If i where you i would charge!!!!!! ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

Borg, from what I know this forum here is your hobby and not a way of making money; it started out that way at least. I can guarantee that you will lose more than 50% of your community if you charged for this forum. I personally would turn to Snitz or other free asp forums that are not bad at all.
Maddog, you said that you want to make your own forum and that Borg's WWF forum is keeping your Portal back. You also said that you would give your forum out for FREE. You encourage Borg to sell his and would like to give your forum (if you ever make one) our for free? What is the logic behind that? Go behind Borgs back and take over his community? Borg should check out: http://www.maddogs-asp.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=214&PN=1 Thats where MadDog talks about dropping WWF and making his own, even has a poll for it on his site.

| I have the feeling that this is going to turn into some violent thread again. What is the deal. Let Bruce to what he feels is right. If he wants to keep it free or charge for it is to his and only his discretion. If Maddog wants to write his own, hell let him (I know you never said you will I am just hypotethising). There are too many people minding other peoples' business. Let be and enjoy what this site has to offer and keep you attitudes with someone else. |
