PimpBlogs.com Beta (Free Blog Host)
 

Hey all,

I'm testing out a new setup on PimpBlogs.com, as a free blog host. Feel free to reg and setup a blog or 2 or 10.

Cheers,
V

for XZILLA i keep gettin an error message sayin "Your session has been expired. Please start again."

Thanks! :) I recently changed xZilla around and haven't fully opened back up yet. I'll check it out. Is this when you submit a link?

Just fixed this error.

Thanks again!

registered, gmail is not allowed?! and why is it domain.com/name-of-our-blog instead of name-of-our-blog.domainmame.com ?

I like the design but the urls are just annoying, if you would fix the url structure i would create few more blogs, did one just for test, with one post

I've been looking at a couple plugins for this very thing, just haven't dug in yet to get it functional. It's in the roadmap though, so stay tuned! :)

EDIT: As far as Gmail goes, not 5 minutes after opening up registrations, I got 2 spammers w/ Gmail and 1 from AOL. LOL, so I figure I'll just disallow them for now until I can come up with a better solution.

You don't need plugin for subdomains you had choice when installing wp to pick if you want on subdomains or in folders, but you can change that now, and for spam just use some captcha captcha.net or something like that, the design is easy for the eyes and i like it a lot ;)

I did the config changes and those seem to be reflected, just need to do the DNS changes now.

Ok, I think I got it working. I changed your URL to the subdomain version. Seems to resolve.

yes it's working now but not showing pictures from before, will try to upload new one to see if it would work, .htaccess thingy ;)

^^ working great now!

Cool :) Enjoy!

nice dude. i'll give it a spin.

just posted at xZilla, workin lovely now:thumbsup

Checkin it out.
Hm... no Multiuser-Site?
Tried the "WP Pinterest Theme". When try to register a new User and clicking "New User? Register here" it leads to a Pimpblog-Error-Page.

I'm not 100% on what you mean by "Multiuser-Site". Currently the registration is going to the central PimpBlogs.com and once they register they can login to the subdomain blogs. Is that what you mean?

I'm working on the error. Should be fixed soon.

I'm so happy I spoke to you about a design job back in October, so you could see my service and rip off some design. Am I missing something here or did you just more or less copy shit?

Fuck it. I won't spend the first day of the year arguing with copycat designers. At least now I know what you are John.

Congrats on launching your blog host, I like the design.

Voodoo is no copycat. I guarantee.

What the hell are you talking about? First of all, my name isn't "John", maybe you are thinking of someone else. Secondly, I just loaded our conversation from October and read the entire thing (I recommend you do the same and come back here and apologize, because if you don't, I'll post the entire conversation here for all to see). You never showed me anything and asked me about my TubeAce templates.

Back up man, you have nothing to stand on. My "design" is original. It's a black and red version of the edu-clean theme from wpmudev.

Maybe you are thinking of someone else, but whatever the case is, you are off-base and out of your league man.

Call me a "copycat" designer again.

BTW, you never spoke to me about a "Design Job". I have no idea what you are talking about. You hit me up asking about my Tube themes. That was it. You said they were too expensive for you. That was about the extent of it.

Uh-huh. Sure looks like something heavily influenced that design, but I'll leave it at this and wish him the best of luck with his business.

Thanks Smut.

Seriously, WTF are you talking about? "wish HIM the best of luck with HIS business"???

This is MY business, asshat. Who the fuck are you talking about? This is owned and run / built by me and nobody else.

Are you fucking crazy?

Oh I struck a nerve did I? I did read the conversation Paul. Sorry I called you John. John, Paul. Whatever. I know what you are.

So fuck you and best of luck in the future. Guys like you need it.

I meant your business nutjob.

Hahaha, ok shithead. Post proof or be banned. Here's my proof of our conversation in October. This is the entire conversation:
--------------------------
Markul - EJ Network: hiya
saw this today: gfy??om/showthread.php?t=???????highlight=tubeace+template
let me know when you are here please :-)
Voodoo: Hello
Voodoo: Hello
Markul - EJ Network: hiya
I was wondering if you still had some tubeace templates for sale?
Voodoo: Hello, I do have TA themes. I no longer maintain a site for them though. I just have them locally. There are screenshots of them in on GFY somewhere.
I am selling them in a bulk package. All 10 or 12 (I don't remember how many there are) in a lot. Non-exclusive with a network license for each, but you can't modify or resell / distribute them.
Markul - EJ Network: well the reason I ask is that I have a webmaster platform that partly uses tubeace
it's free to use people can create adult blogs and tubes on it
it's all on my servers
Voodoo: Are you selling to them?
Markul - EJ Network: but I'd probably need to modify them, not resell, but seeing how tubeace is full of security holes (the themes too) I'd need to get my programmer on them
no
Voodoo: Is your TubeAce modified?
Markul - EJ Network: oh yea
Voodoo: Ah, ok. So some of it may or may not work as these themes are based on a default install of TA.
And also keep in mind... these were made a number of years ago, the designs are solid, but if TA has been updated, some stuff may not work.
Markul - EJ Network: we had to mod tubeace, there were more than 1100 security holes in it
Voodoo: I haven't had time to keep them updated.
Markul - EJ Network: nah I understand :-)
Voodoo: I also have TubeX themes (Same as TubeAce)
Let me see if I can find that thread w/ the screenshots. Otherwise, I'll put some up for you.
Markul - EJ Network: cool man thanks :-)
Voodoo: http://pimpdesigns.com/tube-themes/
Markul - EJ Network: cool man, what do you want for them?
Voodoo: I was selling them individually for $150 when the site was up.
$150/ea
I haven't really come up with a bulk price yet. Let me count the TubeAce ones specificly. There's a couple TubeX ones that I didn't convert to TA, so the count is slightly off.
Markul - EJ Network: cool :-) thanks
Voodoo: Ok, so there's 8 tube ace.
Markul - EJ Network: so what bulk deal can we make here? $150 is rather steep since I can get my guy to do them and I think he spends something like 4-5 hours a pop to do colour variations
Voodoo: How long does it take your guy to make them?
From scratch
Markul - EJ Network: he's just modded themes, we haven't made any from scratch - kinda busy with other stuff
Voodoo: Have you found any other themes out there that were as nice as these?
:)
Markul - EJ Network: There aren't really many that people sell
Voodoo: Right
Markul - EJ Network: for me it's about giving people options when they create their tubes
Voodoo: For sure. I get it. I'm just justifying the price. :)
Color changes to the default theme is one thing, completely new markup and design is another. :)
That's retail though. I'm flexible on a bulk deal.
How about, if you want to throw out a number for 8 themes, I'll see if it's doable. :)
$800?
$900?
lol
Markul - EJ Network: no we are pretty far apart man, I was more thinking somewhere around $200.No offence intented
Voodoo: Oh, ok. np. Yeah, that's a different ballpark entirely. These are worth well over that.
Integration with 1 theme alone is $100 minimum if you pay someone.
Markul - EJ Network: yea but I have a part time designer and a full time programmer working for me, so it's different ;-)
Voodoo: Sure. :) The cost to pay them to make these is going to be more than $200 also. :)
Markul - EJ Network: at this stage, this project has cost me around 6K - so I was looking for something chep to add value.
Voodoo: You can lease them for a per-install basis?
Markul - EJ Network: I think I'll need to wait until I see some return on the funds spent until I start sinking more money into it
nah, but thanks :-)
Voodoo: Like a partnership. :)
hahaha
I'll do 2 at $200
Markul - EJ Network: no thanks, but I will write your contact info down and get back to you later when we've launched and see some returns. For starters we'll just go with the variations we have
Voodoo: Ok, cool :)
Sounds good. I'll be around.
Markul - EJ Network: thanks for the chat though :-)
cool man :-)
Voodoo: np :) Thank you. :)
I'll probably be relaunching tube themes at some point as well, so if I do, I'll message you. I have ThemePass.com and ThemeCash.com which I will be rebranding these and adding some new ones.
Markul - EJ Network: cool, do that man :-)
Voodoo: :)
Take care. TTYl
Markul - EJ Network: you too :-)
Voodoo: Thanks
-------------------------

Exactly what site do you believe I copied? You didn't mention any site in our conversation. Did I somehow use my psychic powers to read your mind? Come on fucktard, let's see what you have for "proof", otherwise, fuck off and prepare for the ban hammer.

Ban me for what? Saying that you heavily ripped off my design? Check out easyxsites and check out your blog host. Who ripped who off?

My designer, myself, my programmer and my gf wen't through 6 or 7 iterations to come up with my design and then a few months after you "magically" come up with yours?

Your reaction also says it all.

See my post above. Look at the designs. It's not an exact duplicate, but anyone looking at it will raise their eyebrows for sure.

Your reaction just says it all, if you didn't do it then why flip like a maniac? Just say so and we can part ways.
Sure I see I didn't mention the actual site in the conversation, so shame on me for mentioning an ICQ conversation. Doesn't change what - from my perspective - looks like you did.

But as I said, your reaction pretty much does it for me.

What the hell are you talking about? My "reaction" is because you are accusing me of ripping off your site, and calling me a copycat.

I just looked at your site and this is the first time I've ever seen this site. If you are referring to the color scheme... Red / Black and White is very common, retard. I have a ton of sites using the same colors:

http://pimpblogs.com
http://toohuge.com
http://incorrected.com
http://xxxrocket.com
http://articlerelease.com
http://webliked.com

Pimpblogs.com and whatever your site is don't even look alike. Mine is using the edu-clean theme as previously mentioned and I didn't even change the layout from the default theme layout, just changed the colors, because that's how it was before since 2010...
http://web.archive.org/web/201004250...pimpblogs.com/

Here's the default theme demo of edu-clean:
http://themetastic.com/buddypress/?wptheme=Edu%20Clean

As you can see, I have been using this theme for a long time. My original design back in 2010 was black and white with red links. I changed it the other day to have a new logo and the service icon set that you see today. That was it. The rest was already there for the last 3 years.

Ok, your turn... Proof. Post it.

Wtf do I know, I'm not a designer. I just see something that looks so close to mine I react.

If you didn't copy the design no need to freak out, just say so and I apologize. Like that.

Okay talking to people directly always is better and I apologize to Voodoo. I now know that he didn't copy the site design, it's been up since 2010 but not open or in use.

So this is a combination of me not actually knowing too much about designs (that's why I hire people to do it) and a pretty unfortunate timing thing + the fact that I got kinda surprised and angry. Quitting smoking doesn't help either.

So. My bad man. I don't rain on people often and now I for sure know I need to speak with them directly before saying shit like I did.

Sorry.

Thanks Markul. Congrats on the quitting smoking!

BTW, I think I got this working if you want to check it.

I signed up. Will probably use this for an upcoming project. The only thing I can suggest is to get some better themes. There are some ugly ones in there.

I have a ton of great themes, I will be adding them over time. Are there any requests?

Are you set up to play nice with Blogs Automator? Please say yes!

I just sent you an ICQ message.

Voodoo check your icq dude :P
