Ok I like it - really like it... one thing I would do is on your front page with the image where you click to enter put border="0" of whatever the code is so that there is no big blue border around the image - that is just my opinion though other than that I like what you have done - still cant get enough of the Kayne West and Taylor Swift video.

Hey Merk.. I appreciate the response, and I added the border.. I think it works, Im on a MAC using Firefox so the blue border will not show for me, I usually go in Windows Mode to verify, but its acting up at the moment. And yes, I cannot get enough of that video either.. lol

That's funny, I have a very similar website (in terms of idea and a few functions) that's been on the background (never continued development) for quite some time. I like your ideas and structure as well.

Have you worked a bit on the calendar system? Gallery? etc. Work on certain pages like usercp and what not in order to reflect a more familiar system? The index is a great use of vba, "splash page" is not so bad (considering it's a splash page :p) The forums may use just a bit of work in terms of the forumbit.

It's a great start but as I went and saw about 1-2 people online, it isn't the easiest to promote. What marketing techniques did you have in mind if you don't mind my asking?

I really appreciate the in depth comment first off Gio. Well the site, although open. Has not been "Officially" launched due to a lack of finished content. Because the site will be based on Southern California Nightlife (for now). Club/Entertainment listing, a shortened but very broad forum index, my models listing, etc.. I have yet to officially launch. However, as far as promotion techniques, here is what I have in mind.

I am currently in talks with Gotham City Ravers Ballroom (a 5,000 packed event to due a full launch party for the website in their arena)

a 2.000 dollar Socal Modeling Contest

an nX Calendar (in 2010) to promote the hottest people and trends in California for 2010-2011

The site though I am planning to be based more around the content than the community involvement, because it is MAINLY ran/promoted by myself. I have been looking for partners, staff etc. I recieve alot of return hits and unique hits on the site, I just need to develop something better to urge them to sign up. (Consistent Forum postings, better interactive topics, etc).

Have any ideas, I would love to talk to you more and see what you have in mind.

edit.. the provB listings.. can that be used to search clubs? City, ZipCode, County, age range, etc?

I am looking for a review for my community and new forum Layout : just integrated the new "TWITTER BOARD"
