What would be the MAIN features you'd want in this so I can provide a spec sheet and see what it would take.

And it would of course be free.
Well just making some suggestions.

- Friend system (using vb's default buddy system but with notifications)
- Profiles (basic ones that we can modify the MEMBERINFO)
- Gallery
- Profile comments
- maybe blog, but doesn't really matter, there are some other ones out there...

These are the only things I would need

1: Consider a version that doesn't have the 'centralised profiles'.
2: Make a URL available for peole to see this application in action for themselves.

The big guys know they can't do it all and so they go to Application Service Providers to give them what they want. Long, long time ago, I worked with a company that did the same for community solutions -- message boards, instant messaging and chat. our clients were MTV, Oracle, VH1, CBS, GE and many more.

My point is, I'm beginning to feel that this is a very good idea that needs to be approached with sophistication.

You will be known as Social Network Solution Providers.

There isn't much online that I like less than spending my time posting and monitoring a thread for almost an entire year, only to have it go "poof" for any reason. Closing a thread like this I can fully understand but pulling it off the open forums perm. isn't cool. I know you all (staff) are chewing on this, as we do in my own forums, but please consider carefully why this thread needs to be trashed for the long term, and what are the reasons behind it.

I'm sure there are some that are not happy with the negativity expressed in this thread by those who do not want to use a centralized system. I am/was one of them, and while I still am not to the point where I am willing to use a system like this, I see some of the benefits and think the discussions that took place in that thread are important to all that have been and are interested in it.

I'm not sure that I can do that right now because our system *may* be considered a commercial product which is why the thread was removed. I don't want to post a public link and get banned or disrespect vbulletin. If i'm cleared to, I will.

I fail to see why the thread was removed. After all, it's still a free script which no one has to pay a penny for. No matter what happens, debate is uber healthy and we cannot hope to contribute to improving the web, by closing threads where people are making good effort to solve a problem. Very sad.

As both Danny and Brad said, there are things within that thread that need to be discussed by staff and until such things are discussed, it has been removed

I gotta agree.A bit much censoring is happening.I was under the understanding that this hack wasnt being charged for?So im lost as to why its commercial all of a sudden.Also,wtf is going on with the censoring,i mean damn,shouldnt dialogue be supported as that is what gets ideas out.Alot of dictatorships have censoring and cloak and dagger policies,is that what this is all about?(im speaking both on the secrecy of vbspace hack and vb.org censoring) Sometimes i wonder when vb.org is gonna implement a delay for posts to be added as then they can moderate and asterisk any words and phrases they deem hostile or not beneficial for them.I have this funny feeling that eventually this place is going to alienate itself into closure or at least into a ghost forum.....so sad.

We are not charging for it. In fact, forum owners should profit from it. However, we DO have the potential to make a profit in the long term which brings up the "commercial" debate. However, the code that would be released here at vb.org would simply be a single product that allows you to tap into the system.
