this project will involve building a highly dynamic and interactive community system complete with Private messaging system (access levels), vbulletin login integration, user stats, ad click system and subscription service as well as slimmed down version of site for those not subscribed (plus more). There will need to access levels and permissions. Please see [[login to view URL]][1] to see a close approximation of what we are after. Please note that this is not an attempt to copy them or their services. We just like the way things work there and some of the functionality will be used here.
Please only serious bidders. We posted this before but did not get many serious bidders. We are open to reasonable bids and at this point the timeline is not terribly strict.
Special Note....
Must be pro-active and write scalable code. While we know what we want, we do not possess the knowledge to know the best way to do things or if it all can be done also we would like to return to the same developer for additions as the site grows and features are requested. So our ideal developer will be able to code for scalability to allow growth without a re-write.
If you have any questions about the project please ask.

Please see the attached zip file that contains a small work-up of what we are after (just added). I whipped this up real quick so it may be slightly incomplete, but it will aid you guys in your bidding process. Once again I encourage all to go to [login to view URL] and register if you have not already and see how their community behaves as this is a close representation of what we want. Also if you have any questions feel free to ask. I want everyone to be able to make a concious descision on their bids.
## Platform
We prefer this to run in PHP using MySql database.
