Update needed for IP.Board

Nooben on 28 July 2016, 9 years ago

  1. IP.Board now called IPS Community Suite.
  2. On many sites IPS Community Suite sites does not detected by your checker, for example:

Thank you for that hint, we have implemented these changes.

Nooben on 14 August 2016, 9 years ago

Thank you. Looks like it was fixed only partially. Tool still cant detect IPS on first 3 sites from my list.

Sam Soltano (site administrator) on 19 August 2016, 9 years ago

There is actually a different issue at work here. We do not crawl all the pages of a website. If a technology is used only in some parts of a site, there is no guarantee that we detect it. We keep increasing our crawl depth, but there will always be cases like these, particularly the third example us.com with thousands or millions of subdomains.

Whoops, just noticed you're don't consider subdomains as separate sites. Didn't knew that. But... Then service is absolutely not accurate with this approach. Hope it will be changed someday.

Sam Soltano (site administrator) on 23 August 2016, 9 years ago

We won't change that, because in our opinion that's the only reasonable way the create such surveys. If you count every of the millions wordpress.com and blogspot.com subdomain separately, you get completely distorted statistics.

Nooben on 23 August 2016, 9 years ago

Looks like we have absolutely opposite points of view on this. I'm sure that this is wrong approach. So, while it's not will be changed, we'll consider your "surveys" as completely incorrect data.

PS. It would be better if you'll mention this peculiarity of your "surveys" in the descriptions on a prominent place.

Everything is described here: https://w3techs.com/technologies

To see the problems of your approach imagine a new cloud CMS system creating enough subdomains to be number 1 in the statistics without having a singe user. I don't see how such a counting method could make sense.
