Foxiewire removes Pligg

Posted In News - By Geoserv On Saturday, September 27th, 2008 With 16 Comments

As we noted some time back, some high profile websites have dropped Pligg as their base code for various reasons.  The consistant complaint is lack of development and insecure coding.

The first to leave Pligg was Informed Networker.

The next major site to leave Pligg is Foxiewire, they have now completed moving over to Drigg, the Drupal equivalent of Pligg.  Thusfar, it is far more secure and has much more development and add-on action than Pligg has had in months.

How do you feel about Pligg?

    Drigg is okay but nothing to be impressed about! It’s hard to set up and far from a simple install! The support is very poor I asked a few questions a week back with no answers still!

    I prefer pligg and Social Web CMS any day!

    Social Web CMS seems to be the most promising of the three. Drigg has been touted as simple by some bloggers,but I do had some issues with getting it set up.

    hey see the new changes they are saying pligg 1.0 will have… sticking with pilgg might not be a bad thing…

    I did see that, looks promising as long as they deliver.

    Who is their main coder these days?

    I’m really not too sure! But I was reading the blog and they have some really nice Groups functionality being added which is something we have been asking for what seems like forever.

    I noticed some security changes and other majoy changes in the admin cp with the management stye and more!

    Honestly it looks very promising and the development at social web CMS has been less than expected! makes me almost think it’s wasn’t simple ashdigg behind pligg after all.

    I attempted to use SWCMS and had issues with the login, I had to revert back to Pligg, I couldn’t get any support for the issue I was having.

    Not sure if the lack of support in my case was that no one had a clue how to fix it, or what, but they lost my installation in this case.

    I’m looking forward to seeing the new Pligg.

    It’s too bad all those sites are removing Pligg. Hope they can be recaptured again after making substantial improvements to beat the competition.
