try similar to facebook, totally adult friendly. It is fairly new but looks good.

There are a number of Facebook clone scripts out there, the better ones are free and the producing companies are normally happy to provide various levels of support contracts.

I looked at it a while ago but decided I was too busy....

In response to everyone basically:

I say again, I have a new idea that doesn't seem to have been done - I have the time to some of the work and if I can't interest anyone to come on board as a partner then maybe I'll buy some expertise who knows?

Perhaps I will just sit on it and do nothing - as some seem to advise - but then I'm the kind of person who actually does the things he plans (as long a it is in any way workable). If I can get something running and then sustain it for a reasonable period then I'll have a shot at it.
The obstacles, as long as they are not insurmountable, will be seen as challenges. Nothing worth doing is ever easy.

You may be right Pete, perhaps it is bigger and badder than I can handle... but it doesn't mean that I don't have a fucking great idea!..

...because I do.

i'm a webdesigner and coder. if you're still interested in getting this project off the ground contact me on socreative.tv@gmail.com

The good thing about doing anything on the internet is that the costs are minimal in comparison to any similar project done in real-world. Your magazine foe example may well be an amazing prospect but I know enough about you to know that you probably don't have ?50,000 in your back pocket. If you do though, or have partners who do then get on with it now. I'll give you all the free help and advice I can. An online community may cost me something - this is true but it's not an amount that I don't have.
I'm going to put some more thought to it before I move forward though.
