After completing the search pages for the website. I began to work on the Groups portion of the website. This was completely re-designed to make it far superior to the old design used on the Swapper Network.

Each group has tons of functionality that was not available to users in the past. Just for starters I re-worked the whole concept from start to finish so it really make sense to people. It is simple to understand and use.

We lost the whole founder principle and went with a moderator principle. I know it is basically the same thing but in this case we will give people the ability to take over stagnate groups so they will not really be the founder but rather a moderator.

Next we decided to loose all the criteria selections in creating a group. We did this to simplify the entire process. We never really used these in the past so it made the entire group create- a chore. Now to create- a group it takes about 30 secs.

We also added some better back end tools for the moderator to run the group.

We also added a forum where the moderator can created their own forums within the group.

So it now has the following tree:

Group Name

Category

Forum Name

Topic

Forum Post

Forum Name

Topics

Forum Post

The moderator can create- an unlimited amount of forums. Users of the group or the moderator can created an unlimited amount of topics or postings.

We also added a Blog feature that is much like a forum but it gives people the ability to reply to a topic but not create- a topic unless they are the moderator of the group.

This will give the moderator a sounding board.

We also added the usual stuff like Group Main Page, Member List, and Galleries.

The we took it a step further and tied in the parties into the groups as well.

We also added a polling feature so users of the group or the moderator can create- new polls.

Lets talk about the tie in to the swinger parties from the swinger groups.

When I first created Group Central on the Swapper Network website my original concept of this feature was to create- what I call a circle of friends.

The problem was we never tied it back to the correct places on the website so it always seemed like just another feature that was all on its own.

Well now the groups tie into everything. When you create- a party you can invite everyone in your group or select- people from your group.

I also added a feature inside the group to create- a special group party. This way you can create- a swinger party for anyone on the website or a group specific party. We also added another feature to parties. This new feature will allow users to create- a public party and have it posted throughout the entire website.

This way people can create- huge parties with thousands of people. This will work great for swinger conventions. We also added a feature for swinger clubs to create- a party.

I also wanted a way for the moderator to keep the group current a fresh so the moderator will have tools to determine how often people visit the group.

All of these features will be included at no extra cost to anyone. On this website when you pay your membership fee you get access to everything the site has to offer. We will never charge you a dime extra for any new features added.

As a swinger and a website user I always hate it when a website wants to nickel and dime people to death. You will never have that problem on this website.

Our membership fees will be lowest you can find on a decent website and we will have to finest features and support than anyone else around. How can you go wrong with that?

This new website will be much less restrictive to users. Meaning we will allow clubs to advertise for free and we will not restrict peoples ability to communicate in any way. As a matter of fact you will be able to send messages to groups of people easily.

We want to do this in such a way that will make it easy for people to get large groups of people together for the purpose of swinging. Of course we will continue our zero tolerant spam policy but we will take an approach of catching the violators rather than restricting the non-violators. We can do this because we will have much better tools available to catch violators in the act.

While I am at it I will discuss another matter.

On the Swapper Network we allowed people to create- a thirty day trial and then it would expire after thirty days. We also removed peoples ability to see pictures after two days.

This caused problems because once someones picture viewing ability was lost they would just signup account after account after account.

These became known as M.A.V.'s (Multiple Account Violators). We have solved this issue. We are going to make a trial membership never expire and we are going to allow access to only the master photo posted for trial members.

People will still have the ability to block this photo to trial members. Doing it this way there is never a reason for someone to signup more than once. They will not get anything for doing it so it is a mute issue. This should keep the database clear of the MAV's you now find on the Swapper Network.

The entire idea of this new website will be for Swingers to meet other Swingers. We are going to make that whole process as fast, easy, safe and as affordable as we possibly can. We are going to provide you with enough information to decide if you want to meet someone without violating someones privacy.

You will have access to this information without waiting forever for pages to load- and it will not break your bank account to use this website. You will have feature that are not available on other website of this type that will make your entire experience here a true pleasure in more ways than one.

We are also adding a swinger news feed that people can add to their own website if they wish. More on this feature will be forthcoming soon. I will only say that people will be able to add news, stories and events to this feed that will be made available to a very large audience.
