My advice (aside from not running your own stuff and just promoting IwantU instead
) is to get a custom job done.
If I understand your needs right, you want a pretty simple site to see how things go without any 'fancy' features right?
That amounts to little work for a good programmer, which should cost you less than buying a script and having someone modify its code for your needs.
Your core features should probably be:
- join
- browse/search
- contact/messagebox
- view profile
- edit profile
- content,ads, news,etc....
That comes to a few basic forms and simple database structure. A good programmer can do that for you quite easily I'd say
