    I see a small blank image on the first page, I mean an image that was not found, try replaceing them with a spacer, thus you won't get the red X in place of the non existing image.

    I don't see the missing image, everything looks fine. I like the promotion, too, it's a great idea but 100 bucks to get 5,000 friends doesn't seem like much money to me. It doesn't seem worth it. I would either lower the number of friends required or make the dollar amount as obscene as the amount of friends required.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I have a couple of questions and comments:
    1) What does Katropa mean?
    2) I agree mikebrad0927 - 5000 friends seems like a hell of a lot of people for only $100. How long would that take to gather?
    3) Sorry to be negative, but how do you plan to compete the big boys? ie, mySpace, Orkut, Friendster?

    you claim is...


    "Hey guys... want to earn $100? We are giving away $100 each, for the first 3 member of katropa.com who reach 5000 friends. Invite your friends now! and ask them to add you in their friends. "

    not effective !!! you can't promote quality sing up through this, this will rather promote faule or spamy sign up with not much of an activity after sigh up.:eek:

    1. Katropa is a filipino language meaning buddy..
    2. I may consider to drop the number I guess
    3. Right now... trying to make some module for this script so that there are unique features....

    that was nice but i suggest more attractive design/ layout and just like what they said 5000 friends is way to big.
    Good luck ... :)

    Hmm First Question ...
    Is the phpfox script that you are using a licensed one ??
    Check out the design, it's the base template setup ... you need to work on the design ...
    Some css files need to be edited and a matching header needs to be put up and lo and behold you should have a great site!
    Also donot offer money, it won't do good ...
    I would ask you to spend the same money on adwords that would help you a lot if you are that interested in spending bucks...
    If you have money, spend it on marketing your site !!!
    Get proper SEO, buy quality links ...and you should have a nice amount of traffic + sign ups ..
    Lastly, I would like to repeat that make it more colourful ...and it should help you since people'd want to stay on the site ....
    Abhishek
