Dating site/community software; script?

[DJ Smak]

I am wanting to get my site started up as a dating site. I would like to know of any decent software/scripts that are available that don't cost much ie $700. I would like the site to have a messageboard, chat etc.

for free, you can use the excellent dating script at www.Tufat.com , it works really well, has a ton of features and for $5 (to buy their chtroom script, which in itself is amazing) you can integrate fully a video/audio chatroom.

i tried that software, seems rather buggy. Its ok but it doesnt have a forum included, unless there is a way to install that seperatly. I really havent found much out there for the free ones having most of the features i'd like. Please keep the suggestions coming as I do appreciate them.Free or otherwise in the $200 range and lower

I used it for over a year until I sold a dating site.. so it does indeed work..for me at least.
The forum used is PHPBBII (which is another free program)..so basically all you'd pay for is the chatroom which is only $5.

But, if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work.

Have you looked at Dolphin by Boonex?

Thanks for the replies.....I think my initial install of the osdate was not done properly, my fault.. I am retrying it again to see if i can get better results. As for the dolphin by boonex, i have thought about it. I've read their messageboard and eventhough the software looks great, they never seem to answer your questions there. And they advertise it as free, open source, but you have to pay like 50$/month or so to have access to tech help, and to have their banners removed from the site. To me, that seems a bit unfair so I don't think I'll vbe trying it, which is too bad coz i like the GUI.

If you are looking for community script then this might give you some free ones.
