Adult Script Pro Community Forums

Looking at the demo... you actually have the videos on the site?  When I click a link, it shows me the video (I'm assuming that it's embedded).  Most of the other tube search scripts just link to other sites.

Congrats on getting to 6000!

What kind of forum are you trying to build?  A place where users can talk about porn or an adult industry type of forum?

IMHO, starting a porn forum is:

1.  Really a pain in the butt because you have to monitor everything or else it gets SPAMMED to death.

2.  A really easy place where people can put things up which might get you into trouble.  Start posting child porn or links to stuff you don't want.

I know some people who have forums and it's a 24/7 job just running the forum right.  I don't even believe Manwin (pornhub, youporn, etc) has forums - because the amount of manpower it takes to run a forum right makes it a net loss.  They do have forums for their studios - Brazzers - but if you've ever been on their before most post are about people who want to cancel their accounts etc.

If you are still set on opening a forum, you might want to check out other porn forums and see what categories they are offering and modify or add to that list.  Considering the internet rule:  if it exists there is porn for it.  Basically, you can have unlimited categories of just about anything which all could be related to porn.

Good Luck!

Well, I wouldn't say I get turned on by 'any' porn... just the porn with multiple blonds with big tits on ad free sites. 

I respect your opinion, but disagree. 

People want porn and they don't care where it comes from.  If there is one source which has every possible video, the viewer will stay there.  Thinking about it for a second, a tube site is just another source.  If I find a video on Xtube site and it has reality kings as the watermark, I'm not rushing to reality kings for another video... I'm staying on the tube site to look for more videos.  It's how the whole tube business started.  If it wasn't for tubes, everyone would go to the original source, which they don't.

You can try to find a developer in the forum, but hiring an outside developer... that developer would have to learn ASP first.

I would just purchase the premium template.  At least you will have a Twitter Bootstrap template which in my opinion is better and more modern looking.

Don't spend too much time on site design.  Spend the most amount of time adding the best content you can find and promoting your site.  You might find in 5 months that your site is dead and you would have wasted all the money on design.  If you start making money on the site, then invest in a developer to develop the look of the site.

Looks like the left column isn't completely gone.  You can see a 'dot' under the home button.

Once you get MySQL 5.6.10 larger databases will function better.

You might want to allocate more memory to MySQL in the my.cnf file located in the /etc/ folder (if you are using CentOS).

You might want to consider using Nginx and allocating the extra ram saved to MySQL.

If you need some help, let me know.  Though, investing too much time in a non-adult version of the script might not pay off for ya IMHO.  There are so many other scripts out there which have really strong followings.  Your better investing time into ASPro and taking over the adult market.  I personally own several video scripts and they are all pretty much great scripts.  Added, you have the factor of people who won't buy your script because you do adult.  Someone who is against adult probably won't purchase your non-adult script because you are in a 'politically incorrect' line of work.

The time you will need to invest to maintain two scripts wouldn't be worth the money in the long run IMHO.

If you want to make real money... create a simple Nginx control panel to work with ASPro.  There really aren't any great Nginx control panels out there - most are plugins with Apache.  ASPro Nginx control panel + ASPro would be a great TOTAL solution for a developer.  This means I can save $30 a month on cpanel with a dedicated server... have a faster better server, and don't have to worry about server security.  Currently there is Webmin and ISPconfig which support Nginx.  That's about it.  cPanel has a plugin, but you still have to use Apache with it.

All the graphs I've seen show how Nginx is starting to take over.  Apache is king, but nginx is really starting to be the choice for busy websites.   

I know for myself, I can manage a server, but who really wants too?  What a pain in the butt.  I have enough problems writing all the code for my scripts.
