for a thumb site smarts thumbs, text site tgpx

i have many Smarthumbs installations but the BIGGEST issue with it is that you can't have daily rotations. There are disabling options but IMO it's not as good as a real daily rotation.

I'd go with TGPX or Vanilla.

the best tgp scripts arent for sale.

They are either custom, or the people that made them have mysteriously disappeared off the planet.

heres a bump for ya man

comus.........

:1orglaugh
Not even close.

It's the best that is available to everyone. BP is right, the best scripts can't be bought.

smart thumbs is really good.

I'm a big fan of comus thumbs. It's not as submitter friendly as Smart Thumbs but it's a top notch script.

Smart thumbs is good.

i use comus for my tgp site. seems to do the job very well.

just checked smart thumbs.......it is "simpler" than comus but that doesn't necessarily make it better than comus, if easy to use was used to determine how good a script is then I'd put TGP-Rotator (AG-SQL) above all since it's fool proof....:winkwink:

Simple has nothing to do with it. I've used both and smart thumbs is superior in both the layout of the admin area and features.

features like............

Download the free version and try it out...or at least read the list of features on their site.

lies! xp still will sell his sickness, but i guess that has limited usage :pimp

indeed :2 cents:

I already did, and besides a "simpler layout" I couldn't see anything that comus would be lacking, taking that in consideration I'd say is all about tastes......I like comus better and you like ST .... no biggie.....:thumbsup

Not a big fan of tgpx. agsql was better.

I use comus, and work just fine for me, it is not world greatest TGP script, but for my needs is more than enough.

That would be Vanilla 2 for sure;

- Share galleries and banners on all your sites
-Multiple thumbnails- AND thumbnail-sizes per gallery
- Intergrated advertising system
- Intergrated trade system
- Advanced cropper with preloaded batch-option
- Auto page-generator with 1|2|3| etc. links for archives
- System to sell gallery- or bannerspots on your network
- Extremely advanced submitter-management system

TGPX is awesome now...thumbs looks nice and clean in this new version and it does pretty much everything via tempates :)

I just started using www.vanillatgp.com v2, it is tgp rotator and traffic trading script all in 1

so far it's doing GREAT :thumbsup

Don't you mean best tube site script? Tubes are actually TGP 2.0, get into them as early as you can.

I had 1, I thought it was great

I will look at 2 if I get back in the TGP game....

Smartthumbs is great....try our free version.. also we have an xmas promo 50% off for December..

http://www.smart-scripts.com/smartthumbs

Make it 70% and i buy it.

Hey here's a crazy thought...How about just building it and running it yourself? That's the way I've always done it. Those script built sites all look the same. Be creative and original....it'll pay off.

I have 3 children to feed, a wife to feed, a rabbit and family from Morocco..
Sorry can't do.. :Oh crap

I know you've been very successful with TGPs but there is nothing cookie cutter about using a script to build your sites these days. It gets cookie cutter because the end users are not original enough or the designers they hire are not original enough. Most of the scripts allow for infinite levels of customization in terms of look and feel.

...

kill the rabbit, i'm sure you'll be able to give him that extra 20% off :)

So true. I have yet to find a good over-the-counter TGP script that can run multiple sites on multiple servers and handle trades at the same time with a single admin panel!

uhm hello? www.vanillatgp.com ;)

I know it can be done...but why? If you are going to take the time to customize it anyway, why not just build it? I've never messed around with any of those scripts but I can tell you that every pay site that is built with a CMS is full of exploits for hackers...I know that from learning a lot over the last year about security with the paysite. Wouldn't the TGP CMS stuff have the same security issues?
And again...if a person has the creativity to make a script built TGP look different, then why not just build it? God knows I caught enough grief just for messing around with WYSIWYG's in the past.
Is it just a lack of knowledge on html?

agree... always used that one!

Are you sure you can use it on multiple servers?

We should put a list of side by side features, I still think Comus would come out on top.
Does it offer a searchable database?
Surfers seem to really like that.
See it here - http://sexjester.com

Oh i misread that, i just read "multiple sites".

V1 has a plugin for it, v2 will have it by default early 2008.

Its impossible to just compare one feature against another though. You could say the advertising system in Vanilla is one feature, but it is unfair to compare that against a search feature. I am pretty sure Vanilla will come on top, but we will probably all think that of our own script ;)

tgpx imho :)

And what's with the, and I quote, "One license can only be used for one site."!

I thought VanillaTGP could be one as many sites as I wanted!

Smart Thumbs has gone shit with too much advertising and annoyances in the control panel.

Also it's stupid alphebetical insertion is horrible for someone strating a new site.

toilets have the ability to clog and overflow, that doesn't mean we need to all dig holes and have a shit in the ground. Scripts develop exploits but automation frees up resources and helps with day to day activity.

TGP owners don't use scripts to achieve a look and feel, the use them to accept galleries, post galleries, remove bad galleries, etc. I'm not sure why you would confuse this with look and feel or wysiwyg editors?

...

I'm not confusing it with a WYSIWYG. And I'm not saying you shouldn't have the ability to stack up galleries into the future by using a script...that's a neccessity.
What I'm saying is...I see all these sites that are BUILT from the ground up using some kind of software. Especially those thumb tgps. And I haven't seen one yet that didn't look like the others. They look "cookie cutter" to me.
Now if you're talking about a script to put galleries in que...then I don't have an answer.
I use the script that is based on the original one we built in AL4A a long time ago.
I just tweaked it away from accepting galleries to using only my own.
And of course we added a ton of features that make it work for me so I can review, categorize, and put them in que.
Is that the kind of software we are discussing here?
If so, then I must have totally misunderstood this original post:
I saw the words "TGP site script" and misunderstood that to mean some kind of site building software or something.
My apologies, I just get so sick of seeing circle jerk, cookie cutter tgps that ruin the business by screwing the surfer before they ever have a chance to buy anything.
I guess I'm a little touchy about that subject. Sorry...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Get me a toplist script when you are back there!!

comus in my opinion.. for sure not ucj for trading ...

Dude, I shit you not.. I saw this fucker driving down Burbank Blvd. today on my way home from the office.. I was like HELL YEAH! hahahaha

It was so authentic lookin.. I'd drive it..

Ah, lol it's you again.. the dude that keeps nagging about ads in ST and refuses to turn them OFF.. lol

There are only ads under the Sponsors menu.. as this is a 100% free system we offer for our ST users.. there must be some way to get paid for all the mega hours of work we put in it.. don't like it? don't use it! Yes! it's that simple!

I'm with ya zilla! :thumbsup ......

I am not saying Comus is bad.. but adding features doesn't make a script come out on top.. there are more important things that makes a script good..

Smartthumbs has search-able database as well :thumbsup
