Hello team
I have been in the personals market since 1999 (yes I am one of the old salts) but my 11 years running site is getting dusty. I have moved into the 21st century, bit the bullett and bought your great software plus a good dedicated server at pacific host.
Now for the hard bit. As your community has pointed out, the hardest thing about getting started is getting members (and the more that are online and more members the more you will attract = the rule of success)
So with this is mind I would like someone to develop a plugin that meets the requirements similar to this module below:
http://www.jomsocial.com/download/addons/modules/fake-online-for-jomsocial-frontpage.html
I will happily discuss with a proven programmer and will pay for your time of course!
The lead time for this module is 2 months (ideal) and 3 months max so if you think you can assist, please put your hand up and let's negotiate. I would prefer a boonex guru over a 3rd part programmer.
I think whoever makes this module will do very well in the the store.
PS. my ethics are very clear - I will NEVER use this module to strike up a relationship with a guest or member. It is purely a lure that will allow my community to reach the 'critical mass' of a viable site before tuning off.
PPS - I have seen the 100,00 plus profile mod in the store - this is not for me.
PPPS - if no one can do it but can recommend a programmer, please do.
This module alos helps larger sites to trap spammers and scammers when they contact these profiles, as they all come to admin or whoever is norminated to look after them.
Thank you and I look forward to working with whoever takes this in with proper requirements development, quotation, up front deposit to start work, validate by test and final payment.
PS - I will develop the avatars and profiles, you just do the sexy bit (the coding to join the dots)
All the best
Martin
