PHP Social Network Script license needed

[mjreine]

Hello... Does anyone have a cheap social engine or phpfox license that they would part with? It must be valid and transferable as I will check with the company before paying for it.

Or is there a better social networking script. I run a basic music forum right now and would like members to be able to upload photos / videos / chat, etc and my current asp solution stinks so I need to upgrade.

Thanks!

It looks like a similar script to wordpress multi-user / buddypress.
Do you know any example sites running it?

No, but when tested on my desktop, was working fine and all features were functioning well.

Hi,

I never felt comfortable with any of the scripts that I looked at. The design and programming were problematic, and they had very little spam protection. My site would be fried within a week with the weak spam protection that the scripts provide.

I haven't tried any of the hosted social networking sites, but you may want to take a look at SocialGo. Ning is another big one, but they recently raised venture capital, and with the VCs in there I don't trust them. There was a big brouhaha recently because of the heavy handed way they took over user data and refused to release it. You will have to google to get the details.

Hope this helps,
Rich
