Flixya Changes

Thumbs up to Flixya’s IT Department

I wish to thank all the Member of Flixya who have been loyal visitors to my Blog. Over the past month or so you have regularly visited my Blog even when navigating the Flixya site has been almost impossible?

I see Flixya is making changes to the site,The New wallpaper is flashy

It’s nice to see Flixya has tried to level the playing field so to speak with scripter’s. What’s a scripter? It’s a term for developers who make script! Some developed a script that took articles from another website (Article Dashboard) and automatically posted it to Flixya. Some of the scripts were able to post an article every 30 seconds. In the beginning there was only a few developers manipulating Flixya’s code, however like a lot of developers they needed to brag about their abilities and posted the script on Forums, some even created sites to use the script. Well then it all got a little crazy in Flixya as hundreds and hundreds of people were using the script to upload Articles & Videos to Flixya. When this occurred the Flixya site slowed to a crawl.

When members not using script tried to post to Flixya it took forever as the site was being bombarded with script up loaders.

The who’s on Flixya area on the main page was also effected too, when you clicked on a member to visit their Blog you were actually visiting a script upload member who wasn’t even at his/her computer? You were visiting a member on auto pilot!

Somehow I don’t feel script uploads are within the spirit of Flixya but thats my opinion only! What I saw was a mass upload of duplicate content. Yes I know your never going to prevent duplicate content being posted within Flixya, but when you had hundreds and hundreds of people all posting from one source (Article Dashboard) you get duplicate content on a mass level.

I see now Flixya has worked hard to overcome this issue limiting posting times and blocking many if not most of the scripter’s and suspending their accounts.

The Developers of Flixya are really on the ball as in the spirit of the sites slogan (share everything) they created an API area for developers as to enhance the site and allow them creativity. So Thumbs up for the IT department of Flixya!

So again Thank You to all the Subscribers to my Blog and Keep up the Original Posting when you can :)
