OK, here goes...
It's here!
http://cotops.drupalgardens.com
I recommend you read the instructions before creating a profile, which I have put here: http://cotops.angelfire.com/newsite.html
It's actually fairly quick and easy to register, but I want to make sure
everyone understands how all the features work...
This is different to what I had in mind orginally; I won't be creating each profile myself. With this new site you can upload your OWN pictures (though I haven't worked out how to display thumbnails yet... I'm still learning how to build sites like this!)
It also has Forums and user blogs, so there is plenty of scope for chat and discussion.
It shows you who is online and who has joined recently. It is also has a good search function (unlike the Yahoo! Group site)
I decided to keep it as a 'private' site after all, so guys WILL have to create an account and log on in order to see your profile and photos.
Unlike various contact sites there are no restrictions on viewing profiles, viewing pictures, sending or receiving messages. It's all totally free.
Another thing that makes the site different to the Yahoo! Group is that I have made the profile content - including photos - compulsory. I want it to be free of lurkers! No more masses of invisible, anonymous profiles. If you join the new group it will because you want to be noticed by guys who are looking for the same kind of fun as you.
Privacy, discretion and security are still a high priority, of course. On the new site you MUST upload a photo, but it does NOT have to be of your face. But please, a decent body picture would be great. Give us SOME idea of what you look like!
Huge thanks must go to Ed (edsoda on the Yahoo! Group, edburton on the new site) for pointing me in the direction of the resource that made this possible. He's a very special boy. :-)
It's still a work in progress and bugs are inevitable. Please try it out, see what you think and let me know your thoughts. If you have any difficulties just gimme a shout.
