Social Savanna (Imgur Social) - We're live

Hey all,

Firstly sorry for the wall of text.

I am almost 100% going to puke in a minute but we're live.

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words and support over the last few months and we're all ready excited to see this happen.

Features
----------------------------

My team and I are continuously working on this so even this coming weekend you will see more features added to the site as we iron out everything

We are going to make a voting section - so everyone can suggest and vote on the features they want apart from what we already have planned.

- Everyone has asked for a mobile version - that is coming.

- Chat more rooms will be added and we have a new interface being built just for that

- Genders we've added a lot but let us know if you want more

- Privacy settings let us know if we're missing anything

- over the next week you can expect to see more "Likes" and Options

- You need 1000pts to sign up, this will be put to vote by the community

- Matches are based on a silly algorithm and won't go live until we have more data.

- Meetups we have more options to add and they will come over the next week

Suggestions / Problems
-----------------------------

We want to hear them all, either click report on the site OR e-mail us at hello@socialsavanna.com

Bad Behaviour
-----------------------------

We're going to operate a zero tolerance policy where gore, porn, stalking, just general being an asshole is concerned. If you see this happening please report them.

Adverts / Subscriptions
------------------------------
Because a lot of you have asked how we're going to cover the cost of maintaining this social network, this isn't about money but it is a very expensive thing to create and run.

There will be small adverts and there will also be 2 subscriptions

1 - £20/$30 a year (about £1.60 / $2.50 a month)
This will remove adverts from the site as long as you have it

2 - £40/$65 a year (about £3.30 / $5.40 a month)
This will remove adverts and you'll privy to extra features across the site.

Anyone with a Imgur Pro account will be given a 5% discount and anyone who subscribes before adverts go live will receive an additional 10% discount.

The next few days
------------------------------

Help us make the experience better for you, we're not sure what kind of interest this will generate.

There may be performance issues occasionally and their might be bugs that only show because 1000 people are using it and not 10/20 so please be patient with us, if you notice something wrong report it

Lonely Giraffes
------------------------------

The founder has been in contact with me (some people saw the site live before I announced it) turns out both of us were misunderstanding each other, there are no bad feelings they are excited about our launch and we are about theirs. So lets hope the community loves both for different reasons and everyone has fun :)

have fun! https://socialsavanna.com/
