Bulletin Board System

Opening: We are a small company of about 12 looking to get our name known, we are in need of a Bulletin Board System software to built for us. It will be considered an alpha release as we are wishing to examine the code once its released to us with full copyright to it. If at all possible, me and my partner would like to work side by side with whom ever takes on this project. Details: The bulletin board system software will be similar to vBulletin but with custom code that we can call our own, the features will be similar as our feature list is small up to this point as we only want an alpha release where as we can add more features later on. Features are listed below. Features: New Thread New Reply Edit Post Attachments Threads Forums Forumhome Profile Options Member Profile Online List Profile Fields: User Title, Location, Name, Age, Date of Birth (Drop Down), Biography/About yourself, Occupation/Job, Home Page, AIM, YIM, MSN, ICQ Default Groups: Admin, Super Mod, Mod, User, Validation, Guest, Banned Quick Reply Smilie Option: Show on Edit Box Smilie Option: Allow Which Usergroups to use (default: All) Smilie Option: Group Smilie Groups Board On/Off Board On/Off Viewable by which groups... PM Signatures Smilies/Emticons IM Messangers Online/Offline Status: AIM, YIM, MSN, ICQ Admin Control Panel: Nothing like [login to view URL] in the forum root, we would want it like so - /acp/[login to view URL] Those are basic features we will have in the Alpha release, somewhat like how vBulletin had those features as basic when they released their first version. Final Notes: * Our budget is low but we are open to negotiate price and how payment will take place, plus when work will begin. * We are firm believers in having non-copied material in this project
