If not then I don't even know why you started this project.

The whole point of making sites is for the experience and to learn. All you've learned is how to upload a script and set up a database (if you even did that). Real web developers have a passion for websites, you obviously don't.

Hmm...everything you said was true however it didnt have that real "agression" to have the /rant on the end, nice try though :P

As for iBabble, please change into a general discussion forum or something, social networking isnt gonna work :P

The homepage of a website is a first impression. If a user sees your homepage he/she is going to get a bad first impressions, therefore is going to leave. Why wouldn't you revamp it before it opened?

Please think before you do something, because right now this site is a waste of money. However it's your money so I don't really care. Honestly you need to get out of the 'OMGz i wanna cre8 a social netw0rk' phase, as you won't get far.

Why create this when theres: Myspace, Facebook, Bebo, etc..??

Taking what you just said into consideration, what is the most important part of a website to attract visitors, and why wait until next year to do something which can get you a load more viewers, and make it seem less of a waste of £160, hosting costs and other expenses?

Invalid point, if you knew what's happening to the social networking world you'd realise now is the best time ever to get into the market. The only social network I can see as being safe for the next few years is MySpace as they're pretty sorted finacially with the backing of News Corp, possibly Bebo also with AOL. However Facebook doesn't really have any backing and uses unbelievable amounts of money every month let alone every year.

Facebook are financially sound, Greg.

Facebook could get $8billion, if sold and often gets investments in the millions. Even if it doesn't belong to a huge company, it's a good site which companies would queue up to buy if the opportunity arose.

No, it's not. One of the CFOs recently went to Dubai to raise investment. Why? As they're not financially sound
