I had the same opinion like you when I seen that most (if not all) available forums for Facebook were working like this. No access to data, nothing to own. That's why I decided to develope my own forum software for Facebook which is 100% owned by the webmaster and is install on his server. Even if I got very good feedback from the people that I gave to test it, I must accept as true the fact that in now days (especially for Facebook) webmasters want to have a one click install scripts.

The same most probably happens here. If I understood well is a service where you're register and have a site ready to work for you. No installations, nothing. When it funded? It's for laught or for cry. I've a more featured "portal" staying in my HD. And I'm saying more featured as in addition it has Classifieds, Helpdesk etc.

So the problem is not to develope something good, but to know the marketing tips to promote it. And of course to have money to spend for promoting (most likely rubbishes for gold).

Pitty...
