Thanks @rg

Couldn't agree with your comments more. Marketing and target audience was a bad idea from the beginning.

Phishing really? I have no intentions of going to Federal Prison. So I think phishing is absolutely out of any equation. However I know there are lot's of people who would.

Absolutely no money was earned or was expected.

If my intentions were money driven I could have thrown up ads or offers to try and convert (or just a simple lander with one signup offer). 42,200+ unique views yesterday would make most marketers very happy. Those weren't my intentions at any point.

Thanks JD.

I appreciate your understanding and support.

I have learned a lesson that most won't. Aspirations grabbed me by the arm and pulled me into a pile of poop.

@pavel_lishin Excellent points, thanks for your constructive criticism.

I'll touch on the chat a little. Good idea or not, I'll let you guys be the judge. The chat feature was to connect everyone site wide. Then would be defined to location and friends if needed....Problem was integration. Without signing in through facebook/twitter it allowed users to create fake names which couldn't be allowed for obvious reasons. Plans to design new chat were in the works during this fiasco.

IDK, maybe future UI's for social networks will have this option. Personally I like this option, but understand it may be not for everyone.

Hey,

This is "Anthony". Lesson learned absolutely. Not a whole lot to say except for gigantic mistake on my part. Let this be a lesson to all new webmasters. Shortcuts as JD has written are bad ideas. Respect is earned, and I in know way deserve it.

The article JD wrote was absolutely amazing. While reading I was just shaking my head at my self.
