For Micro Blogs :

StatusNet
PageCookery
Storytlr

I will continue to browse other categories so i believe i will continue to find a lot of scripts like these so seriously my suggestion is : don't waste :
- your time
- our time
- our disk space
- our network for updating per default unecessary scripts

Hi,

Sir we have reviewed the mentioned scripts and there are scripts that are used by several users hence we cannot remove them.

However we will see if we can disable them in future.

As of now you can disable the scripts from your server using the following guide :
http://www.softaculous.com/docs/Enable/Disable_Scripts

If the scripts are disabled they will not be downloaded on your server and it will neither consume your disk space nor bandwidth.

The idea is not to remove them but to :

- organize them in a "outdated scripts" category so that we are informed and aware of what we should not take interests into scripts who reached somekind their end of life.

- to not install their package after the initial softaculous installation but only the active projects.

Hi,

Yes we are already working on a separate category for this and will classify them soon.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in implementing this.

We have added a red icon next to the scripts that are not updated since 2 years. You can go to Softaculous Admin panel -> Software page and you can uncheck all the outdated scripts using the checkbox provided there and save the settings.

This will disable the outdated scripts.

Hi,

We have released Softaculous 5.0.0 which resolves the issue.

In Softaculous Enduser panel, we have added a notice on the script's overview/installation page, so that whenever a user goes to install a script which is outdated, he is informed before proceeding with the install.

Also, in Softaculous Admin Panel, on the Home page, we have added a notice informing the number of outdated scripts which the admin can Disable from Softaculous Admin panel -> Software page by unchecking all the outdated scripts. Please note that we have added a red icon next to the scripts that are not updated since 2 years.

You can find complete list of changes released in Softaculous 5.0.0 here :

Let us know if you still face any issues.
