I really like how these sites link to a user's favorite events,venues or scenes and then show which users are interested in similar things.

It would also be helpful for admin to have the ability to disable custom profile designs and stick with a default template. It just keeps things cleaner and less cluttered.
Compare the
Dodgeball user page to the
same user's MySpace page -- ugghhh!
Don't get me wrong -- It's great to have a choice and there's something to be said for individuality and uniqueness, but those who can't live without the flashy, blinged out look are always welcome to link to their MySpace pages.
