Greetings to all the blog readers and Skalfa news followers!

We will continue informing you about all important events, provide useful information on site promotion and maintenance, and keep you updated on SkaDate dating and community software news.

At this very moment we are setting up servers and doing final testing of OpenWack platform that will power WackWall social network builder tool after the big relaunch.
With that relaunch we are introducing one more change – we will divide adult communities from the rest of the WackWall society. This is a necessary step because there was a huge demand from our users to do that. Both parts will have free unlimited beta period. After the end of beta period we will start charging adult comminities small monthly fee.
We will start converting adult communities first and move them to Xitti – the adult division of WackWall. The owners of adult communities will receive email with necessary instructions from us once we are ready to start.
So please be patient, we are very close and are currently working on setting up network environment for the new platform. Cross your fingers and wish the upgrade goes smoothly to the joy of your members!
This is that time of the year again. On the first day of winter we celebrate the birthday of Skalfa eCommerce. Today we hit the 5 year milestone.
Let me go a little personal here. When 5 years ago I announced starting a new company I was not nearly confident it’s going to shoot. We needed to start from scratch after the first year so we were a software product company without a product. Hell, that was tough but that was the time we again proved the simple truth – gather talents and build something people want. That worked. Any piece of software can be built if you have capable people on your tank and some passionate customers to start with. Some people were very early to grasp values we were aiming at.
Now SkaDate is one of the most recognizable names in the online dating software world. We never aimed at “growing big” but grew 5 times in staff – by customer need.
Thank you all for supporting us all these years. By using our products and telling us where we need to improve you’ve been pushing us forward. A lot of your ideas are surprising and encouraging. Every time we raise another big project on SkaDate I feel excited about how people use our software. I hope to enjoy it years and years on. The upcoming year is going to be revolutionary for our company with the launch of new open source and SaaS products in our core competence marketplace. Watch our progress, we want to share that with you.
You’ve been a fantastic crowd all these years. Thanks to your demand and feedback we’ve developed military discipline when serving you. Thanks to your patience we’ve been able to polish our shortcomings and actually improve all across our bottom line. Thanks to your insight we’ve created a marvelous product. Thanks to your ideas we’ve been able to take part in raising the best dating and community sites on the Internet.
All Skalfa employees in the USA, Czech Republic, Kyrgyz Republic and Russia want to wish you happy Thanksgiving, terrific Christmas shopping season, and new successful endeavors in the upcoming year.

I want to thank everybody who contributed to shaping SkaDate software and helping it become what it is nowadays.
Recently we launched Suggest.SkaDate.com – an online tool for suggesting your ideas in a way that can be appreciated and managed by us. But in fact the most active of our customers contributed long before that starting from 2005 – the year of product launch.
Thus I wanted to spread some clue on how we manage this valuable feedback. First of all, we do not merely implement whatever people ask. Nobody would benefit from this. Suggestions are too many, and everyone’s needs are different that is why we have to keep the product roadmap straight, responding to the market situation and massive demand more than the individual needs of specialized projects (sites). Any site can be ruined by throwing packs of features at users and making their way through the site difficult. Also we have limited development forces of course, and have to choose what’s critical.
Most-voted ideas
We give them thorough evaluation but the final decision would depend on whether we think that this suggestion is reasonable for the majority of SkaDate-powered sites. This is hard because people use SkaDate for all kinds of dating/social hybrids. Nonetheless, we’ve been helping online dating businesses since 2002 – far before SkaDate was even launched – and we think that our experience earned us a nose for good ideas for dating and community sites.
Ideas with more than 10 votes
We pay attention to them because the more votes we receive the harder it is to bubble up your idea to the top. We do not want that to get in your way of bringing our attention to your suggestion.
Ideas that are less than 10 votes
We still keep an eye on them detecting reasonable ideas no matter how many people voted. If you suggest something that we find reasonable we will comment, too, asking others to vote for it. Again, this is not to let good ideas be buried under the so-so ones.
Go to Suggest.SkaDate.com and tell us your vision. We absolutely love great ideas.
Thank you for your contribution.
Emil Sarnogoev

Skalfa eCommerce
P.S. If your suggestion doesn’t receive recognition from other customers but is absolutely critical for your website you can opt for custom development. For that go to SkaDate Certified Specialists resource (SkaDateCS) or write to our sales team.
