You see I don't want to jinx anything. But Megaman (actually mostly Megaman) and I are within a very few weeks of launching our new project. It isn't a gay project, nor a str8 project. It's a project for people of all orientations, colours, creeds and nations. We're starting in English, followed very soon by German, and, as soon as we can afford Spanish translation we will be in Spanish. This means global except for the moe challenging tongues and charactersets. But they will come as soon as it is commercially viable.
Make no mistake, this is to be a commercial operation. BUT we do not forget our friends. We will need a small number of "beta testers" as soon as we are ready, and those we will be giving an ironic "thank you" to: Life Gold Membership with our compliments. Why "Ironic"? Because the objective of the site is for people to find their life partner, not to be members for life for ever searching!
The invitation is going out to you, here, our friends and staunch supporters. Megaman will expect you to do some work in testing in the Beta phase, so it won't be a free lunch! That phase may start around Christmas time, but we think probably slightly afterwards. And we are likely to ask you both to try to break the system and then to report accurately on what you broke and how we can repeat the breakage. It will be a phase where only DUMMY data exists, and then we will wipe the entire server clean when we are ready and launch with a bang. We need no more than 10 beta testers, please. So email me (click the email button on the left) and tell me if you have the time to help. It won't take much time, but it will take competent recording of what you broke.
I'll acknowledge your email, and then you will hear nothing for some time.
AND you get the chance to influsence us with good ideas for the next release of the system!
We were nearly ready to launch in August. Then we found that our underlying database engine was insufficiently robust for the workload we expect it to have to cope with. And, of course, Megaman and I also do other things. We are currently looking for commercial web server operations that are not behind spam blocked IP ranges and that have a robust attitude to getting rid of spammers. We also need at least 99.9% guaranteed uptime, and excellent bandwidth and upgradeability.
There is no dating site we have yet found that combines the excellence of the search engine Megaman has created with the range of things you can choose to look for, and especially none where you can see the people who are on it.
Oh the site. Its title is below. The domains are ready but they point nowhere at present.

We have 6 testers currently, and each of them has received an email with instructions on what to do. It isn't particulalry arduous to test it - we just need people to try to break it and to tell us what needs to be made clearer to use.
If you volunteered to help but have not had an email, please post below. If you would like to help and didn't volunteer before please post below.
If you can't break it, and quite possibly even if you can and we can fix it in time, we may well be live in two weeks.
When we go live the url will be opened up. Currently partnermine.com won;t let unauthorised people in.
