I've never seen this. There are several mods about making the user profile system a lot more like 'myspace' and such so I would say things are heading in that direction a little.

But on the other hand, you can get premade dating site scripts, you'd need a fair bit of hacking to combine the user tables between that and a vb database, a big paid mod I'd expect.

the dating site scripts i've seen need to be modified too. i'm going to set up a christian dating site, so a lot of the features like hot or not just don't work. any suggestions on easy to use dating site scripts where you can turn features on and off in the admin?

This isn't really the place to ask. All I can say that if someone's custom coded such a thing for VB, it's not publically avalible, and it would cost $$$ to get it made.

If you however present a preset script and offer a little $$$ to get it intergrated, that could happen.

how much do you think it would cost to get VB set up like that? roughly?

It would depend on the extent of the intergration with the script in question. I've never done medium-large paid hacks like that so I couldn't say. I think you'd be looking at $200-$300 minumum however, just for intergrating usernames in one database.

VB.org has a service requests forum where you post your requirements and people contact you with offers via pm. However you have to be registered and licenced to post there.

If you're going for hacking vB into a dating site, you'll have to spend some money, as has been previously mentioned. (I know, as I've been looking into it.)

Other alternatives are SNS platforms like: phpFox, BuddyZone, ShaadiZone, or the soon to be released Alicia(which is free)

If you want to go PURE dating site integrated with vB, I'd go with Dating Box by e-marvel. ($549 US + vBlicense + mod fee to integrate + fee to take out 'hot or not' stuff.)
