Miscellaneous Forovers - what's all that about?

[mizmar]

As an amateur standup comic would ask.

Just a forum feed consolidation place?
Like a better RSS reader?
Or
Some kinda VerticalScope Inc without the rapacious capitalism?
A new land-grab that'll turn the screws later?
A community led collective utopia?
Or
A multiverse for fora where threads can be confused and make sense at the same time?

A community led collective utopia?

Kind of - hopefully. Maybe it is what Tapatalk should have been.

Some kinda VerticalScope Inc without the rapacious capitalism?

Absolutely not. Foroverse doesn't own or runm the forums that are linked. It's also (IMO) a very nice interface.

A multiverse for fora where threads can be confused and make sense at the same time?

Well, you can choose to see a feed of everything (which could be kind of confusing unless you realise that's what it is) but can be easily filtered to just view your own followed forums.

I'll be posting more about it as I discover more. For me/us it is currently an experiment. In the days of forums being an endangered speciesI'm open to trying a lot of things. @CedricV may be able to explain in more depth. @Gizmo also found us through Foroverse.

I've got two communities using it and it's great. It's essentially a sort of social media feed for forums where you can access the latest topics and posts of the forums you have linked your forum accounts to rather than having to visit each forum manually. The forum owners can choose how much of a forum is shown on Foroverse and it only shows public topics so everything in say a staff forum is still completely private.

Cedric can explain more. I'm really enjoying using it though.

I did have a quick browse.
I was a bit jealous of virtual pet's off-topic threads.

But this thread will show 'em what we're made of!
