Cancelled Paid on delivery

I’m seeking a talented team of developers or an individual who can create the site and make sure it is scalable and the code/database is efficiently designed. You must have experience with CSS, XHTML and advance mysql databases. The site will be themed to a certain audience (winning bidder will be told of audience). All pages of the site should be consistent in style (including phpBB) throughout. The site should be spam proof by using techniques to stop spammers signing up and stop programs (spiders) storing email addresses of users.

Creation of Myspace type user profile system. Profiles need to allow blog entries, commenting other users profiles, managing their own online photo albums. User must have a usable "editing" section in their profile as well as a viewable html page once they apply any changes to their profile.

A management interface must also be provided for web site administrators or power users. Please see deliverables for a full list of what is needed.

Thanks for looking.
