or we have an automated feature that puts them active automatically. We call it office hours. And sometimes they forget that they have it on. So I would say definitely building features in the wrong order was one of the biggest mistakes that we had. And then we had to tear it down and rebuild it. Am I sad about it? No, I think it's natural.

I think it's impossible practically if you're a first time founder of a platform to get it right the first time. And people can't believe I say this, but I'm happy a lot of the problems occurred because we weren't ready. That's the truth. If our app scaled about a year and a half ago, let's say, I would have been in trouble. We would have had more scams on the platform.

We would have had more negative reviews on the platform because if people take calls, make calls, and there's disconnects and the quality isn't there, they would have ran right to the app store and left a negative review. And we would have had a struggle to remove those reviews.

The other big mistake we made was pretty much our terms and conditions for a while and what people tried to get away with. We were giving out bonuses and then people were trying to take the bonuses and just call each other and then remove them off the platform. And it ran rampant for a little bit. And thank God we shut it down.

So just make sure you hire good lawyers to put good terms and conditions in there. And really just word it. So it's not so confusing, right? I think too often people try to word it and confuse people and then people don't really know what it means. So we really overhauled our terms and conditions to make them clear.

And we really made a point that people can't scan the platform for taking bonuses when they refer a friend of $10 and trying to withdraw it. So we just learned so much through trial and error, uh, because Last thing you want is a user who hasn't ever put in a dollar to your platform gets a bonus and they're complaining on social media timeout.

You didn't put your credit card in, didn't make a deposit. You became an expert. You referred a couple people. Those people just called you and you tried to make a withdrawal and you really didn't use the platform the correct way, right? You literally did it to game the system and we fixed all those loopholes.

We, now have it that at my fingertips, I could create a group for a community instantly in my back office. And then I could on our home screen of the app, put their community or group in any order. So we have over a hundred categories when you search, right? And then we have a little search bar that works like Google that you could search anything.
