I've been thinking about creating the next "big" social networking
site, using my board template, once it's finished. I would call it
something like "Cyber Turf". The idea basically would be that you
would be able to join up in a group/clan/gang and it would be all like
message board style, so it would be both a message board AND a game at
the same time. The goal would be to take over other people's cyber
turf. I haven't worked out any of the logistics for it yet, but I'm
envisioning something like flame wars, where you can verbally
challenge a rival gang/group/clan and then there would be some kind of
an automated grading system setup for like originality,
spelling/grammar, post ratios and maybe even some kind of user rating
system. One idea would be to make the gangs representative of the
major online communities, so there would be one for say SA, one for
PoE, one for the furries, one for the goth crowd, one for the gamers,
one for the geeks, etc, etc. And then maybe there could also be
ranking within the gangs and you could rival individuals. It could
also be setup with like a point system, so you can kind of like gain
levels and such, or maybe use points to get new features, addons, etc
for your gang's board. Anywho, it's all just ideas at this point, but
I think it's a fairly solid concept and one that would most likely
catch on real well.
