Please help me pick a Link List script

I run XPL at fetishphiles.com, Cohiba runs it at sultans-porn.com (I believe) and ioxxx.com (for sure), all-sex-links.com is the site owned by the programmers. You might want to re-request the demo access, and I'll see if I can dig up my old demo login info for you

Very helpful, thanks MadMax! I requested another XPowerLinks demo and got the user and pass, so I checked it out. It definitely looks good.

I can't meet your price point, uterpie, but I would be remiss if I didn't at least pop in to mention DragonList. Please see my sig for a demo. Based on your post, I think it may be more than you're looking for at the moment.

I know many people are very happy with XPowerLinks, as well.

Hi Mishi!

It bums me out that I can't afford DragonList, you and Venturi are good peeps and you helped me a lot at that other place we hang. I'd love to give a little back. Everybody there and everywhere seems to really like your script!

Thanks for the kind words!

Once I get the next version released, I'm going to do a complete overhaul. Maybe I'll do a "lite" version if I get smart enough to figure out how.

Oh, here's a start - what are the bare-minimum features you would want?

uterpie · 2005-04-30, 07:38 PM

I think the bare minimum features would be (in addition to manual reviewing and listing of links, of course):

- Static pages (not dynamic)
- Recip checker
- Duplicate checker
- Broken link checker
- Blacklist controls

Nothing too fancy. Many of the cheaper and even free scripts can do all this EXCEPT the first bullet. Ultimately THAT's what I'll be paying for. I don't really see much point in a Link List if its not SE friendly.

In researching I've seen a lot of sites that are built on feature-rich scripts but don't utilize most of the fancier user features the script offers (reviews, ratings, report broken link, added on [date], hits, etc). I assume they got the more advanced script for the admin functionality and NOT the user functionality... so if a developer is looking for one spot to trim fat the best bet would probably be to trim the fancier user functionality and leave as much admin as possible. Just my 2 cents.

I'll be taking all of this into consideration for the next version. Thanks a lot for the input.

I run XPL on http://www.sexclearinghouse.com

I'm basically happy with it but am looking for something that can be used to run multiple sites and has some kind of import facility for all the Free Hosted Sites.
