Socialengine.net

socialengine looks good on the outside but can't handle large amounts of users... just like 90% of the social scripts they're designed by developers who dont stress test there scripts/coding. They're perfect for few hundred users online but once you get 500-1000+ they'll all start to give problems. Best suggestion build your own cause more than likely you'll be spending the extra money to fix all the php/mysql load problems

drupal or joomla both are free

Not really looking for free - looking for large scale - full feature product that we can build from.

Any feedback about Telligent or OneSite ?

I totally disagree with you on socialengine not being able to handle massive loads. Do your HW and google it. :thumbsup I just purchased a copy and going into beta soon. Hopefully it work out well.

I've heard nothing but good things about socialengine.

buddy press..

.

custom if you want big

The only way :2 cents:

With Social Engine you purchase the parts you need. When you purchaes it, you own the source so you can edit how you feel. There are many companies out there that do nothing but edit these scripts for their clients.

I'm also looking to get one

:2 cents:

Sounds like a pretty modular and scalable solution.

no no these suggestions are way off.
look up dolphin. the best social script and open source.

if i cared about people's opinions i'd open a social site with it.

i builded my own, nice challenge

i did my homework, like you said you "just" purchased a copy... let me know how you feel once you have 500-1000 users on at the same time.

Of course feel free to shoot me an e mail as well. This is a mainstream project I'm working on. [email protected]

I'm still looking for this :)

I just spent 2 months building a site using Dolphin... It is buggy as hell, almost impossible to customize, and extremely inefficient, but it's hard to beat the amount of features. Time will tell how far it scales :1orglaugh

So if you were starting from scratch again, do you think you would still take the Dolphin route?

I just started sending traffic to the site today, I'd have to let you know in a month or two. Even now I'm still stuck with some basic stuff like customizing the title tag on every page (there is a good SEO plugin for Dolphin 6.x that handles this but not for 7.0).

:thumbsup:thumbsup

we need test zone :)

Don't buy Socialengine.net . It has a hard time with large member base. Go with PhpFox. Awesome support...unlike with socialengine. I've had them both and Phpfox runs rings around social engine.

I like http://www.datemill.com/ it's a hybrid dating site social network. Runs very smooth with lots of people but very limited options. Thje programmer can add almost anything for a fee to it.

I have it running here www.theadultworld.com

DZOIC Handshakes might be another to consider.
