I've worked on GNU projects, imagine - open source program like Comus???!!!
 

Should I create it? A FREE program similar to Comus but with MORE features????

http://impost.sourceforge.net

^^ Example of some of my prior OPEN SOURCE work.


Hmm, maybe some ppl wouldnt like me for this?

Maybe I'll make a really SOPHISTICATED affiliate program too? :)

Actually -- this wouldnt be such a bad idea since I have no plans with adultpornindustry.com -- I could turn it into Adult-based Open Source applications.

Why? Because Imagine the traffic I'd get!!!!

sure i'll help ;-)

I know windows, vb, asp, linux, c/c++, php masta, mysql, postgres, qt/c++, and other shit i can't remember right now... lol

Awesome!! It's definitely a project I'm interested in doing. Give me your email I'll let you know of any updates

that is actually a wonderful idea...open source is the way to go....and when you get 10-15 really qualified people working on it, it is sure to be a great product

For sure!!! We'll make the open source applications a whole lot better than the leading non-free competition

i'm all about easy to use interfaces... if you could only see the VP backend ;-)

ah well, prodinix demo soon to come!

awesome.. I'm not really good on web design, but my programming is extremely safe and secure as well as complex, efficient and amazing.. I've worked on tools designed for network security experts -- so it'll be 100% secure -- webmasters will like this fact

Yes! Definitely!! We need MORE TGPs!!!! Everyone should be able to start a really sophisticated TGP (or HUNDREDS of TGPs) without investing a dime on software like the rest of us do.

Seriously, real business related software should NEVER be open-source. NEVER.

have you ever worked with multiple developers on version systems such as CVS??

i've done cvs for myself, but mainly im a solo person.

but if the project is broken up correctly, could be fun! :)

For sure, which should we work on first? Affiliate Software, or TGP Software?

affiliate software has already been done... and if its open source, could be easily exploited. so nay on that idea. the TGP sounds nice, but i think we need to a bit further, perhaps some management software for webmasters, ie their domains, tracking mechanisms accross all their sites, something of those sorts.

Absolutely! Give everyone the tools they need to compete with you and every one else for FREE!!! :1orglaugh

morons

Hey dickhead, wtf are you smoking? its fucking BUSINESS. Did you even bother to read the posts? I'm aiming more towards tools to HELP the webmasters life easier.

take a fucking chill pill and go troll in someone elses thread.

It's hardly a troll attempt shit-for-brains. An affiliate program and TGP program are both business-related programs that should never be open source. What you're doing is allowing any dipshit with half a brain and a $20 host to set up sites just like the big boys. That isn't just stupid, it's downright retarded.

You may be armed, but your defintely fucking hammered

READ CLOSELY:
"affiliate software has already been done... and if its open source, could be easily exploited. so nay on that idea."

I'm not DOWN for a TGP idea either, shit-for-brains. read the other post, fucking aye.

Easily exploited.. Look at the software I've worked on before, not only am I a programmer -- I'm also a Security Expert (http://impost.sourceforge.net) -- The most sophisticated network exploitation analysis tool in this world :)

Anyways, I created a poll:

"you're"

Jesus H Christ you're an idiot.

I know what you should do. How about an open source VOD solution? Would you object to that?

Now WE'RE getting into grammar wars? please.

haha i'd like to see it... ;-)

It can be done. Don't get too cocky.

Why not? Competition is good. Free is even better :winkwink:
Let me know if you need betatesting :thumbsup

yawn, obviously!

anyhow, to each his own.

completely retarded... the idea is to develop your stuff to give you a competitive advantage in what is an extremely competitive market... keep your cards close to your chest and keep all the money that comes from your tools for yourself.

:thumbsup

yeah wonderboy? post your resume. I'll go look at your projects in the meantime.

your right linux doesn't exist

God I love people who cry when their business feels threatened by something they can't control.

Someone seems to be forgetting that a major portion of the big boys started with $20 hosts and no money to invest while using free trading scripts. They got their start, made some money then invested in custom or high end scripts and other tools. They also sell advertising through advertising agencies now. What's the problem with providing open source tools? Seriously. It'll mean more people working on them and creating better and probably more secure tools that webmasters can actually use.

Are you worried about the big boys getting competition? Scared of your own pocketbook being thinned down? Innovate. Don't hate. Get in on it. Are you saying that people shouldn't be allowed to start a site with minimal to no cost? Where is a rule written that the big boys now are the only ones allowed to do business?

I see your point to an extent, I really don't want to see more tgp's opening up either but I'm starting to think the TGP industry needs a bit of a kick in the ass to get back to earth and realize that submitters are what make them rich. Maybe more competition would be healthy. Maybe someone who could really do well but doesn't have the money for tools right now deserves a chance at getting their foot in the game. Truth is, they won't last anyways, most people never make it big so they close shop. Your competition is gone. The 5% that survive and grow could become business comrades to you. Do you really want to shoot tem people in the foot?

By your same argument I guess you could say then that open source office software should not exists either because it's a business related program. What about PHP and apache you use daily? That's open source too and was created for business use mainly. Maybe people should have to pay for it then if they want to do business according to your views.

I could argue this with you further but you're worried about your pocketbook so I won't bother much more.

if you feel so threatened by it, then innovate and find a way to profit from it.
DH: I respect your opinion, you have a right it, but the basis for your argument is ridiculous.

Hopefully the open source version of Comus won't fill up the error logs by reporting 30 errors per second. :1orglaugh

I dont see what the big deal is. There already are free trade scripts, free tgp scripts and free hosted galleries that all the tgp'ers have used one time or another already. I think people are just scared of competition. remember when you were the little guy who worked hard to become big? Why is it not ok for today's little guy to do the same?

Also, what's the difference between people using free tools or people who don't use tools at all? Remember when TGPs never had trade scripts or submission scripts? hell, some still exist and are doing really well. Any idiot can start a scriptless site and with enough work and knowledge become established.

I'd really like to see the rule where only established sites can do biz and the little guys starting out shouldn't exist.

oh I agree with you there. No, my issue is with the starter of the thread calling themselves a 'security expert'. any loser can write code that uses libpcap. Its alpha code for one, and how did he put it 'I'm not really good on web design, but my programming is extremely safe and secure as well as complex, efficient and amazing.. I've worked on tools designed for network security experts -- so it'll be 100% secure -- webmasters will like this fact'.

yeah, good luck with that. If you have skills, release something that works, is tested, and is NEEDED. Not some bullshit PS parser.

This is probably the dumbest idea I've heard in a while. There is no benefit for you or anyone else from this project. If you are bored, start something useful non-adult related.

my friend codes for a company for the nyse, i told him about comus about how many sites use it and what the guy charges. he could code it no problem he said. he said hes in the wrong field.

only if he was guranteed a good salary coding.

You all seem to suffer from low self-esteem. Typical for programmers in this business, I guess.

GOOD IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!! Contact me when you have something to see! :)

for the maintainer you could make a good income doing custom installs for people
comus charges $395 for that.

and custom mods (there are hundreds of project which make money this way)

or he could use donation ware
(like bit torrent)

for contributors
you can produce custom plug ins to the script to extend it functionality in ways that could benefit end users of the script.

(see apache as an example)

Depending on the liciencing there are dozens of profit making methods available to good coders.

i would be interested in contributing to both.

The main advantage of open source is not free it access to the source code.

So you think linux is less secure than windows.

Security thru obscurity is not as effect as you believe.
