As the final days tick away, we are preparing the final bells and whistles of our website. You know those little touches that really make it what it is.

 

We have struggled deciding if we should add several of these items but in the end we have decided to include as much as we could during the initial rollout phase. Yes, you heard that right. After we complete our initial rollout, we have plans for even more features that will be released during phase 2 of the rollout.

 

The reason for this is simple. In the beginning, it will take some time to build a membership base. It does not make sense to include a feature that requires a large user base to start off. It is better suited for when we have a large group of members. One such feature is Parties. It is difficult to get a lot of people to go to a party when there are few people to invite. The programming for this feature and others has been completed and it is ready to go as soon as the membership base will be able to support it.

 

We will also be bringing back some of the original features we once had like the last seen times on profiles. We are attempting to bring you a website that is like it was back in the days of a friendly service.

 

We feel the more information we can provide to a user the better that user can be in deciding if they should even bother to contact someone.

 

You know things like the Signup Date, Last Seen, Letters Sent, Letters Replied to, Paid Expire Date, Times a profile has been viewed and yes even validation with a twist. Our validation system is one that we really struggled with. 

 

As most people know by now, when we were running SwapperNet we never wanted to add validation to our website because of the many problems that it can create. We considered many ways to add such a feature but never really came up with a really good implementation. Well, we are happy to report we have a solution that we feel should solve most, if not all, of the issues regarding validation.

 

How are we going to do it? Well, lets just say I am going to hold off telling you the solution until we rollout.  Then I will do a complete write up on it.

 

Yes, I know that is a teaser but what the hell. How about another teaser for you. Our profile has a new feature that no one has ever thought of. It will really blow you away. What is it you ask? Stay tuned because you will find out in 29 days 3 hours 47min and 27 sec.

 

See you in 29 days and be safe out there!
