What should a custom social network should cost made out of mybb? Cause i need to known that.

i have software but its to big for my server, i want a customade website made from mybb.

Can Someone create something like facebook? Kind regards Michael Gramberg.
What do you mean to big for your server? Anything as feature rich as facebook is going to be large and decently resource intensive.
well i just want to use mybb software and then i can use everything, cause the software i now have some parameters are missing everytime.

I just need to know what it should cost a mybb forum into a social network so each person doesnt see it's a forum.
What is your budget and what "social network" features do you require?
most of them i have installed but i need a template for my social network, its a gaming network where each person can create his own profile area and change the colors.

what plugins are better for my social network?

i have now in the profile area the comments but i want a page where you will see it, a profile page just like facebook a kind of index!

maybe someone create that?

It would cost hundreds of dollars to modify Mybb to work like that, and you'd need an extremely good developer and themer. It'd probably also be better to create one from scratch, which means more money on the table.

I'd say at least $1500 but most likely a lot higher if the designer and developer are smart. That's mainly because MyBB's not meant to be used as a social media platform so modifying it to be one would take maybe months of work, and it probably wouldn't look anything like MyBB in the end.

To the OP, for a social media platform, your best bet would be Elgg. It's made for this stuff (so barely any modifications) and it's free.
its just waste of money, better try to find other software, cause mybb is forum script

Haaaaang on a tick... You're suggesting MyBB isn't a social media platform, yet it is, technically. You're socialising with people on here, aren't you? Maybe not a social networking service, but it is social media.

If you're a pedant with no sense of context, yes, this is technically correct.
