Making a Social Networking Site

[Kyle!]

Well guys i've not made a serious site in a long time but i'm going to start again, i've purchased a Social Networking script called SocialEngine, Its amazing as a base for my site (I know a lot about PHP, HTML and some MySQL) and of course i'm going to develop on it, i just need some ideas and help.

The idea..
At first i thought about culture, with indie kids, scene kids, moshers, emos etc. and when you join the site it will ask you what your into etc, and assign you a group (indie kid etc.) and you chat with people in the same group as you etc. but then i thought it would cause rivalry with chavs, scene kids etc. So that idea was out the window. But now I'm just thinking of filling in the things that other social networks miss out and combine them together. Give your ideas aswell.

The Name..
iCulture (Ruled out, explained above)
PsychoSocial
SocialCity
SocialSanctuary
iTalk

You guys like any of the above or think of your own? Mention it.

The Staff..
I need moderators, Administrators (especially), coders and designers if your interested PM me please.

The Testers..
Once i've got it working (2 - 3 weeks) I'll need some testers so if your interested PM me.

Thanks,
Kyle

[blanky12!]

Hmmm, and he wants to build on it? i'd surgest building your own script and not buying it..


and i doubt he brought it... it's probs nulled or something.

No, i bought it . I really plan on making this work, i wouldn't spend £200 if i wasn't serious!

Making a successful social network isn't a £200 job, more in the range of £200,000+.

[Homosexual]

More in the range of £9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99 with the market atm.

[Invent]

Haha But yeah, to make a successful SN you either need a lot of money or some investors that are willing to put money into a pre-revenue business, which (like Homosexuality said) is pretty hard at the moment because of the state of the economy.

Also, if you're hoping for your site to be popular, NEVER use a pre-made script.
