That's funny -- you went the myspace route. My brain keeps thinking friendster -- both equally buried.
This place has so much potential. I don't think it is so much a development issue as much a multiple society issue. We are a world that runs on money.
And where there is money there is greed and crime because we are just not yet advanced enough to just be (as a group).
That being said -- I wouldn't trade this place for the world. There are good folks here. Even if some of us ebb and flow.
