I suggest you ...

Start up period: populate with fake members

I would like to have an option to populate a fresh site with a certain amount of fake members (randon gender, random age, random pics) to avoid that the site looks absolutely empty. Additional there could be an option to set a maximum of users that will randomly be displayed as being online.

        Dear Sven,

        In any case we will not be able to include fake profiles in a number of default SkaDate features and services, because this is against the policy of our company.

        But you can follow the advice I gave you above.

        Thank you for your activity at suggest.SkaDate.com! We appreciate your contribution.

        Dear Irene,

        no, it is not that I *need* this. This area is for feature requests and I found this functionality useful in another dating software.

        If you (and your customers) say: no, we don't want this, I am absolutely fine with it. But if you like this feature, go and vote for it.

        Dear Sven,

        We do not provide this kind of service, as this is something very specific. Most members get scared away if they find out that a site is populated with fake profiles. According to our experience the majority of site owners prefer to avoid this practice.

        Still, if you really need fake members database to start with - you can always find one from some Internet resource, and SkaDate developers or SkaDate Certified freelancers (www.SkaDateCS.com) will integrate it for you for extra fee.

        Both is valid of course. I wouldn't start with 100 users though ... maybe 50. But this would be optional, so every customer could decide if he wants to enable it or not. (BTW: I saw this option in a competitive product.

        Hi.
        I wouldn't recommend that you create fake profiles at all due to the fact that real members can find our it. Imagine that you have more than 1000 fake members and they don't reply to real members.
        I would recommend that you do SEO and promote your web site. Start with your friends invite them first to your web site.
