Zoints - Driving Traffic to Your Forum with Social Networking Integration?

[libertylounge]

Seems like they've closed the door to new communities for Zoints.

I wonder why? Seems strange.

[Keith Cohen]

I think they have closed/opened in the past, to control it from growing too quickly.

[briansol]

There's rumors of a new version that re-does the whole thing coming out soon....

[libertylounge]

Yeah?

I wonder what all would be changed

[Freezer]

Maybe i will try the tag's soon, but i try to keep my vbulletin rather standard.

But i do find Zoint's a good incentive, they make what is demanded by the mass.

Why would anyone do this? There's a great hack on vbulletin.org to rewrite your own member profiles, even make a whole subdomain for it looking like myspace.

just look what bodybuilding.com did with that hack and a little work:

Bodybuilding.com - BodySpace Main Page
Bodybuilding.com - dissolved girl's BodySpace

I would like to do something similar, just need to find out how it's done exactly.

That looks great dutchbb. Might have to give that a try on my music site

[Mert Gökçeimam]

I have visionscript interactive profile installed and it is pretty good. i am planning to integrate vblogetin to member profiles also. Here is an example
Ayyas - Üye Profili: Lizard King
Ayyas - L.K.Gen.Tr

when the integration finish it will be really good.

The no.1 reason I didn't like Zoints was the way they control your forum. I like to keep my community independent

Plus you can do much of the profile reworking yourself wit a little work. Check out my profile: Music-Web Forums - View Profile: MaestroX

its not amazing but its a step up from the standard vbulletin profiles
