WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--One of the leading networks of forum communities on the Internet, CrowdGather, Inc. (OTCQB:CRWG), today announced the launch of the newly upgraded free forum hosting platform, Lefora.com. CrowdGather had originally acquired Lefora and related technical assets in an all stock transaction during July, 2010.
The upgraded and improved Lefora homepage includes a modern and minimalist user interface, along with many new features that were requested by both administrators and users of this free forum hosting software. Just a few of the new features include: a custom mobile app, chat rooms, featured topics, polls, and also forum administrator tools such as robust member moderation and post management, detailed security logs, profanity filters and many other items. Most of these features are available immediately to any new Lefora community, and over the coming weeks, the Company will work closely with existing Lefora forums to ensure the upgrade process runs smoothly, with minimal or no interruption to users.
“We are pleased to improve the Lefora experience for current and future members,” said Sanjay Sabnani, CrowdGather’s Chairman and CEO. “We are also working diligently on upgrading some of our other large properties in an effort to improve the forum community experience, and to provide the potential for additional monetization opportunities. Additionally, as we have previously noted, we are also focused on accommodating our increasing mobile traffic across our network through the development of both custom apps and mobile web apps. Over the coming months, we expect to deploy upgraded forum properties and mobile apps, and anticipate that both will provide opportunities for further monetization.”
