WJunction Community,
I am an active uploader who has been using Rapidleech for awhile now to upload to my various filehosts (I upload to 7).
Since I first downloaded the product I have become INCREDIBLY disillusioned with the community around the Rapidleech script.
The entire project has been hijacked by RapidleechHost.com, who charge ridiculously high monthly fees for their plugins and have a very narrow and limited selection of services they provide themselves.
There are no new releases, no new features, nothing. In short, the project has lost all the characteristics of an opensource project, and the forum has essentially become just a dumping ground for spammers (mostly porn, it seems).
I would very much like to change this. While clearly the greed and laziness of the folks who are running the forum and profiting from RapidleechHost.com has derailed the Rapidleech project (while the RapidleechHost.com script has more working plugins, they aren't developing new features or really improving the overall script in any meaningful way), I am looking for a couple of programmers to start developing another script (derived from the Rapidleech script, of course) and build our own community!
I myself am not a programmer; what I am is incredibly organized and good at creating and maintaining a forum! Also (as I've mentioned) I do A LOT of uploading and so would be able to provide valuable ideas and feedback as an end user (although fairly quickly there would be no shortage of those).
The project would be opensource and while we would ask for donations to cover server costs and whatever other costs might arise, the project would not be allowed to decline to the state of the Rapidleech project.
If you're interested in helping on such development, please either respond in this thread or PM me with your skills and what you feel you could contribute to the forum!
NOTE: I suppose it might be worth mentioning that in the long term I anticipate either integrating a linksharing site or having one as a close affiliate.
Hope to get some responses!
Maverick
