Visitors prefer to use the Contact form to ask various Osclass (mostly) questions, instead of making an account and ask here.
Anyways, i can't privately reply to each one, so here is an answer to the most common question:
Why we do not post any more news about Osclass Mindstellar release!
The answer is simple: There are NO NEWS about that release channel, apparently it is (sadly) dead a long time ago.
I don't see how that release could be revived, since most people have switched to other releases and also the developer is NOT responding or care to inform us. Pitty but this is what is happening.
As for Osclass script in general, i'm not optimistic either.
(and please do NOT ask questions via the contact form)
While true regarding the Mindstellar release, the same can't be said about the Osclass script in general, which is pretty much alive and kicking as you can see here: https://github.com/MercanoG/Osclass-Enterprise
Osclass Enterprise runs great even on PHP 8+ and is the ONLY classifieds software on the planet that has a complete Anti Spam & Bot system, which consists of 3 layers of protection:
- The server layer: integrated Web Application Firewall that runs directly on the server (.htaccess).
- The core layer: Google reCAPTCHA + dedicated platform fixes and improvements.
- The Anti Spam & Protection System Plugin v2: a revised and fixed version of the highly acclaimed plugin by Liath. This is integrated directly in the setup.
So, as you can see, Osclass Enterprise is not only alive, but actually doing better than any other release and, also, literally smoking all other platforms as well. 😉
@enterpriseclassifieds Hi there, i'm glad things are going well for you.
My comment in general about Osclass, comes from the fact that i see no "movent" here or at Osclasspoint.
I mean where is the community we had at osclass org?
Here, i see 1-2 new accounts per week, mainly to download some old plugins and themes.
and again, bravo for your project, your efforts and your persistance :)
Yes, there's no movement because people (us) are kinda giving up.
Ok, Vanilla Osclass is dead, Mindstellar is dead, Osclass Evo is dead, but we still have 2 more releases which funny enough are the best ones: Osclass Enterprise and OsclassPoint.
Now, OsclassPoint has its own closed-source platform, forum and community (your choice if you want to promote it or not), while Osclass Enterprise supports you guys (ValueWeb).
The ValueWeb Forum is the last open Osclass community, and you have the support of an entire platform release (Osclass Enterprise) behind you, which it seems that you're not taking advantage of.
I think that we should promote more Osclass stuff, start more conversations and call upon the old users to start sharing and contributing.
Also, you have the power of a nice and popular blog, where you can still share tips and tricks about anything.
If you just propagate the idea that everything is dead, then you might as well close this forum, as it will serve no real purpose...
Me and a couple of other Osclass afficionados, we are all ears to listen how to promote more your release. If you have any ideas or suggestions, we are open to everything.
As for Osclasspoint, while it is really good and i post news about it, i'm not interested in closed open source scripts. A commercialization of Osclass is something i prefer not to see/use and promote.
I think that we should promote more Osclass stuff, start more conversations and call upon the old users to start sharing and contributing.
Do you know that i have invited several times, the last 3 years, all old users i knew and had contact and also 2-3 developers that i also knew and had contact. Even the Mindstellar developer but never got any reply.
None of the users responded, only one developer did, made an account and 2-3 posts and disappeared.
