Looking for a script or package to create a series of dating sites on a dedicated server

Hi,

I am hoping that someone is able to help me - I am looking to create a series of free online dating sites, themed in categories for example "straight" "bi" etc.

I have a dedicated server available for this project, currently running Fedora but I can change this to another flavour of *nix or Windows if necessary. What I am looking for is a package or script to run the site..... preferably one with professional templates or themes available as I am no coder or graphic artist.

So far I have heard mention of PHPIzabi, OSDate and Boonex, all with mixed reviews. I would like an integrated forum and chat function if possible

Any suggestions or advice appreciated - this is not a big budget project as it is designed to be a free site although a product that has the ability to offer subscriptions would be good

Thanks for that, this has certainly given me an option to explore I wasnt even expecting - I looked at Drupal as a simple cms system and certainly not able to do that much.

Do we think this may be a better way than OSDate or PhpIzabi route etc? Do we know how much experience I may need to do this

Thanks so much

not sure, i did not worked out OSDate or PhpIzabi route .... but i can very well recommend as i have tried for some social sites ...

>> Do we know how much experience I may need to do this

ofcourse you need to know php programming medium level to install and do by your own ... OR ask hosting company or some one ...
