    I been looking around for a "myspace" scrit for a few weeks now.
    The ones that seem to stand out are: phpfox, BuddyZone and phpizabi
    If anyone can suggest something else or if finding someone to code this for me would be better, im open to that also.

    What I would like to know is if there is something not present in one of the scripts, what one is easier to get someone to code for.

    What one has decent support / updates / addons

    Here is what im looking for (right now im leaning to buddy zone)
    - The normal user networking like myspace.
    - Users to be able to be in differnt groups / sub groups and be able to search them by this.
    - The option for users to upload videos to differnt groups (that coraspond to the groups they can be in)

    (Right now eveything but the group / sub groups searching seems to be in buddy zone)

    PHPizabi is a good dating script that you can turn into a social net. Just need to redo some of the code.

    The new PHPizabi release is out soon, that looks like it's going to be the best available.

    Before you decide to go with Buddy Zone make sure to read this post first.

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=147935&highlight=Buddy+Zone

    Before putting down your hard earned money and purchasing a Social Networking Script make sure to search as many places as possible for reviews of the script you are going to buy and make sure the script you are purchasing has an active forum community that is open to criticism. As of 10/16/06 the Buddy Zone support forum is down and is nowhere as active as other Social Networking scripts. Which will limited your creative ideas for new functions you would like to ad to your Social Networking site.

    Best Regards,

    CodeMonster
