One of my friends is an avid hunter and fisherman. He had the idea for a social network for hunters and fisherman to share pictures. I'd love HN's feedback on the idea and the current implementation!
If you just required a username and a password, and then made everything else optional, I think you'd get a lot more signups.
I didn't feel like giving you all that information so I didn't bother creating a login... but if you haven't done it already have you considered adding voting to the pictures? This would be a perfect use-case for the new Facebook "Like" buttons. Thinking about it, maybe Facebook connect would be a good idea as well.
[Edit: You may want to do something better for your privacy policy if you are going to require all this information. Big blocks of "lorem ipsum" text aren't very confidence inspiring. You may also want to change the "you're bound by the ToS when you register" text until you actually have some terms of service.]
As far as the TOS go, I'm a little too poor right now to hire a lawyer but the university near me has a great program where law students (supervised by a lawyer) offer free services to entrepreneurs. I'm signed up for that program but it doesn't start until June.
Any suggestions for how to fill that privacy policy and tos in the mean time?
Size.
Weight.
Distance for hunting.
More details on gear used.
The place where the game was caught in addition to the home town of the sportsman.
On question here is do you want to do this free form, with perhaps some suggestions to the user, and then have to police abuses (e.g. anything that passes a profanity filter) and have things look a bit irregular, or do you want to try to limit and regularize the inputs?
If the latter, type of lure or load would get onerous and would get really obnoxious for handmade flies, hand loads, etc.
And then there's people like my father who has about 2 12 gauge hand loads he uses for his Browning Auto-5s, for small (dove and quail) and medium (grouse and pheasant) upland birds. If he were the type to put up pictures like this, I'm sure he'd prefer being able to pick from those few options (no drop down lists though!) rather than entering the details each time (I'm sure he wouldn't bother to do the latter).
And, yeah, the profile slider is very nice.
Good luck!
