I don't see any reason this can't be implemented as well. Stangsta, your mod is nice (I've even installed it) but it requires a long time to install and integrates a bunch of other mods that I didn't necessarily want to install. At this point, it's not very simple.

Ideally, you guys could work together on this project, who knows what the possibilities are when you get all these great ideas under one umbrella. Either way I look forward to this. :)

You are right, it is a cumbersome install. Version 2 will have an EASY install. And will give you options of which modules you want to use via radio buttons the adminCP. This way, you can pick and choose the options that you want the users to have.

Im all for working with a team of professionals who are serious about working on this project and have the experience necessary to bring together a quality product where everyone wins.

What is the ETA on yours ? Mine I have hopes of some beta in a week.

Speaking as solely an end user, I would love to see a primary modification which could then have EASY TO INSTALL modules. Along the lines of how vBadvanced CMPS works.

If everyone who is planning to do something "myspace'ish" could work together to build a basic engine that would have hooks for future modules, that would seem to be the best of all worlds.

Regardless, I would like to sincerely thank those of you who are moving this forward for the community.

Im not going to provide an ETA. No need to raise false hopes on deadlines. Not to mention the amount of features that I plan on implimenting will take more than a week to have a beta. Good luck.

If you want to work together, we can do that too. I just want the community to get what they want, Im not concerned about fame or $$$.

I have a few ideas that have not been mentioned, but those would take some time :) .

As for all working together , unless it happens soon there will be 2.

After all the wait and disappointment with original VBspace i will be giving a generous donation to person/team releasing a standalone version. :D

If I knew more php Id gladly help, so whomever's product I go with will have to deal with a donation instead of me helping, I hope you understand. LOL

I was actually thinking about doing this myself and i believe i will be starting tomorrow. Me and ChrisM were discussing the topic and how it's not so hard at all really and how it shouldn't take this long for a vbspace (no offense, i'm sure it's a great product). However, seeing as there is a great deal of commotion with vbspace, he just asked me to go ahead and make one. Not wanting to step on anyone's toes here. However, it just seems like the easiest thing to do. I actually did something like this with 3.0.x and sold 66% of the site shares. However, if i do proceed tomorrow, it will be a script. Most likely i will have a light and premium.

I am glad others plan to as well, mine shall be free when done. After all the drama of the other one I think the community deserves it.
