We need your creative skills! Name our hack!

[toolblast]

Hi vb coders and users,

After seeing this thread fail, I am in the process of taking the best features from MySpace, TagWorld, Bebo, and Facebook, designing a new hack from scratch.

Now... since I did open a contest for naming this script (and had some good prizes!) but the thread was deleted by an admin saying no contests are allowed here. So unfortunately for you guys, you'll just have to 'volunteer' name ideas for our hack without reward.

The naming period will close in 8-10 days and we will pick the best 10 and make a poll where everyone will have a chance to vote on their favorite.

Thanks for your participation! Please number your entries.


*Update (July 14th): I have been PM'd twice reminding me that promotion of a commercial hack and starting a thread to discuss a commercial hack is forbidden on vb.org. So don't talk about pricing of the hack or where you can get it! (Details will be given later to anyone interested)

*Update (July 14th): This thread has been modified and content taken out that may qualify as 'promotion' of the hack.

a bulletings system would be high on my list of wanted features ! as for a name ummmmmmmm vbfriends vbbuddies vbprofiler i dunno im crap

good work!

[toolblast]

lol. Thanks Ben.

A few names Gio and I came up with:

1) Advanced Personal Profiles
2) GC Friend Network
3) ProfilePimp (joking!)

Benj, what do you mean by "bulletings".

[Benj]

like on myspace private messages that go to all your friends

[toolblast]

So you mean like a mass mailing feature that sends a single PM to all the users on your friend list?

Comeon everyone else, post names and features! I know you all have great ideas that you want to be included in this script. We want to hear them!!

Hello Chad! Thanks for taking this on. I like "Advanced Personal Profiles" and I suggest "Interactive Personal Profiles."

We should avoid names that sound in any way related to Friendster or Myspace.

I suggest you don't have any reservations about making it a paid mod -- or at least posting a contribution link somewhere. I'd rather have a paid solution than none at all.

Thanks again for starting this and for giving an ETA as well. In real world production environments, time is of the essence and feedback is a good thing.

Hi Toolblast. I havent really voiced my thoughts on what should be needed cause they started off really well. I was following the other "vb solution" thread as well and see how you are persistant (sp), so I will mention what I think should be included in some way.

* Non centralized - ( sorry I had to say it )

* Updates - ( sorry another one of those things that have to be said )

* Friend Request - Person gets a PM saying "Toolblast" wants to be your friend, and the user has to accept or decline the request.

* Referred by - Person that referred the new member is automatically added the friends list and vice versa.

* Bulletins System - This will send a PM to everyones inbox. Or have a section in the profile of "Bulletin" Kind of like how a blog would be set up.

* Personal Blog - Which you already stated is included.

* User gallery - which you said it already included. Admin should be able to set how many pictures from 1 picture to 200 pictures... etc Other users should be able to leave comments on the pictures along with a date and time stamp. Person that is receiving the comment should have the option to turn off automatic posting of the messages that others post on their profile. Person recieving should have the ablilty to allow HTML messages or not. Person that is leaving the comment should have the ability to delete a comment that they have left someone else.

* Profile commenting - with a date and time stamp. Person that is receiving the comment should have the option to turn off automatic posting of the messages that others post on their profile. Person recieving should have the ablilty to allow HTML messages or not. Person that is leaving the comment should have the ability to delete a comment that they have left someone else.

* Should have a section to input videos / and music. One should have the option to allow auto play of videos and music when viewing others profiles.

* Events - Members can post events and other members that are on the posters friends list can reply if they will be attending or not. Also if they will be bringing friends, and leave comments which are deleteable etc.

* You already mentioned the full CSS builder.

As for a name. No clue as of yet.. Ill do more thinking

Hmm what else what else..... Ill think of more and post again.

Goodluck looking forward to someone completing this task. Or newer parts of it.
