I spent Sunday morning going though the social web cms website and the accompany blog socialcmsbuzz.com blog and was just astonished by the down right lies this group is trying to perpetrate. From reading the pligg source code and the social web cms code I've come to the realization that Pligg's lead developer sabotaged the code base before he left pligg. Leaving them with serious security vulnerabilities in earlier versions. This is probably the worst thing the lead developer Ashdigg could have done since all subversion changes are logged with date and time. This guy would never be hired at my firm.I can't find anything to back this up on the Pligg blog or forums, but I would think it's safe to say that Ashdigg was fired from Pligg. It only makes sense. His code sucked bad enough that Pligg paid a security consultant to check over his code. This tells me some bad blood was going on which probably resulted in the firing of Ashdigg. I wouldn't recommend using SocialWebCMS unless you want some serious problems. I'll stick with Pligg.

Social Web CMS Sucks
So tonight a came across a website called socialcmsbuzz.com which touted a revolutionary new social web content management system. I downloaded and installed it to my server. It turned out to be Pligg.
I couldn't believe these guys were trying to pull this shit. I was shocked to read his blog and see that they do nothing but mother fuck pligg at the same time while trying to promote their software, which is nothing but pligg with the name changed. Even the install screen says Pligg 9.9.0. Outrageous
It's a scam.
So I did some digging around in this amazing new code and found out that it still even connects to Pligg on the installation. These fucking idiots were even too lazy to change that. I guess there are shitbags born everyday, and Social Web CMS seems to be it.
It would be like a guy with a blog called "Steve CMS Buzz" took Wordpress , changed the name, and attempted to distribute it as "StevePress".
This code was stolen from Pligg by a group of douchbags that think they can pass it off as something new. They think that putting down the famous Open Source project Pligg, they can claim fame by distributing old source code under a different name. Stick with Pligg. Be safe. Be cool. These "Social Web CMS" posers are using old SVN versions which have multiple security vulnerabilities.
Step 1 Take one of the most popular content mangement systems on the internet.
Step 2 Change the name, and push all donation links to your shitty blog.
Step 3 Publish as many lies as possible, putting down CMS you just stole.
Step 4 Profit Profit Profit
