Woah!... I had this!... What can you expect from a client?... What can be the demands?... What's he gonna ask you to program... This question is something that always revolves my mind before I check my mailbox... This time it was a crackpot asking something insane... Have a read to this quote...

Hi, can you do custom progamming? Can you do BIG projects? I will pay $200-500 OR MORE for this project. The kind of website I want is where people can go to the home page sign up or log in. Sort of like Facebook. When they sign up it should have the same forms like Facebook, but with Purple color. Here take a look at my Logo of my site right now: http://c****f****.com. So my website name is C****F****. And also when they log in, sort of the same interface like Facebook. Where they can chat, share photos, videos, where they can add people as friend, share their statuses or updates. It would be nice if you can do chatting by webcam also. I'm guessing you get the idea. But I also want more features than the original Facebook. I'm not sure if a project like this is capable for you. Can you do something like this?

Just reading through this hilarious demands I was like... wtf!... Tell me guys what should I have replied him?... well these sort of "Troll" Clients deserve a nice message so I did one...

are you kidding me?... develop sites with features more than facebook?... facebook has 5000 staff, most of them brilliant engineers from the silicone valley... they are paid in millions of dollars every year to develop these things in phases... the current evaluation if you do not know is $100,000,000,000... and you want everything for $200... 
???

you want the entire functionality... cool!... dunno where did you get this price estimate from... but you are wrong... can not be done for that price...

The best bet!... try a simple wordpress install with facebook theme... or try http://www.boonex.com...

but its hilarious to read "...$200-500 for...same forms like Facebook...same interface like Facebook...add people as friend, share their statuses or updates...they can chat, share photos, videos, where they can add people as friend...if you can do chatting by webcam...I also want more features than the original Facebook... thats a good laugh there!...

This is like... I dun have words... I just want to know what would you have replied to such Gone Cases?... waiting for a nice reply.. I might even send over a nice sum for the best reply!...

Cheers to this Troll... who made it a good laugh!... Peace!
