Connection Board?
Have I ever fallen in love in OS? Yes! With everyone!
OK, that is a lie. But I've made many good friends and even FWB. Everyone is seeking connection. SL has "dating boards" to help. I'd like to find something like that in OS, and someone to help revise it if needed, or to help make a new one.

I was looking for that myself a while back. I couldn't find anything that would perfectly however.
In the end I used a notecard giver to give it the person's advert and a mailbox script for someone to drop a note to the person. I then made all the boards so someone could buy the original copy. They could then put their photo on the board and their note in the main board. They could also view any notes sometime left.
This works with any grids as anyone can buy the boards etc. Leaving notes works well as cross grid offline messages don't work.
I've used this in my matchmaker region. Unfortunately also I did feature this region for someone very few people have actually use it.
I worked love to see something like this (anywhere) that catered for a wide range and that was actually well used but I think people in os seem to be less willing to do this than in SL.

Thanks for the information about your work to make your board and the results. And thanks for your willingness to have this placed in a region more visited. If anyone is interested in visiting the Matchmaker Region, here is the link: grid.sub-version.space:8002:MatchMaker.
What other features would you like your board to have that you were unable to make? We might find someone here who could build those features into your board.

What I was looking for originally was a board that something could "like" and you could see who likes it etc.
However in SL this works really well largely because you can always see someone's profile. You can always send someone a notecard or a message. In OS however that's more problematic, unless that are on the same grid. Profile not available, unknown to the grid etc, unsure to send offline messages means a system like that looks useful. There needs to be a way to message someone cross grids.
The BEST option works probably use a web based back end and users wear a hud that syncs with the web to send them notifications in world if the get a message. This would work cross grids and rename enable you to see the status of your "board" at all times.
However it would require a lot of work and likely would still not be used enough to make it worth the effort.
It's a shame. I'm sure there are a number of people out there looking for some kind of connection but there are not many places to go.

What I found in SL is that people suck as much writing a "dating" note card as they do writing their profile. What I did was have questions on the vended note card. One example: "What time zone are you in?"
The boards I used in SL would notify the user how many times their board was clicked. The clicks were based on the persons picture. I let users know that if they got only a few clicks that I would do a profile picture for them. The user could compare the number of clicks to the number of note cards they received. If someone was getting a poor response, they could contact me for help re-writing their note card. In many cases, they failed to answer the questions in the vended note card. If that was the case, I'd tell them to contact me if the problem continued after completing the note card.
