Netropolitan Is a Facebook For the Affluent, and It's Only $9000 To Join
MojoKid writes Facebook has become too crowded and too mundane. With around 1.3 billion Facebook users, it's understandable to be overwhelmed by everything and want to get away from it all. However, unlike Facebook which is looking to connect everyone to the internet, there is a new site called Netropolitan that focuses more on exclusivity and privacy. The site was founded by composer and former conductor of the Minnesota Philharmonic Orchestra James Touchi-Peters who wanted to provide a social media site for affluent and accomplished individuals. People wishing to join need only pay a mere $9,000 to join. Of that amount, $6,000 is the initiation fee and the remaining $3,000 is for the annual membership fee which users will continue to pay. So what does the initiation and annual fee get you? For starters, Netropolitan will offer an ad-free experience and will not promote any kind of paid promotions to its members. However, it will allow the creation of groups by businesses in which members can advertise to each other under certain guidelines.
and you only need to pay me $100k to join! Hurry, offer is limited!
Yeah, everyone knows exclusivity is only found with .tk!
Nope. But you can start your own version of Slashdot, and ask $9000 to join.
If Pandora's box is destined to be opened, *I* want to be the one to open it.

According to their website:
"The entire service is inaccessible from the public Internet, including search engines. "
I tried your http://127.0.0.1/ website and all I see is porn.
Slashdot social media options: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber and Mobile Text. Why no MySpace?
What's to stop you and 8,999 of your closest 4channers from pitching in a buck each, sharing the login creds, and wreaking havoc on the place?
Necropolitan is even more exclusive.
It's free to join but only open to the dead.
The hardware upgrade comes after somebody joins. Only need one person. Guys? Anyone?
