"It's not MINE, it's EVERYONES!" is the slogan of MySpace.com's fastest growing competitor EveryonesSpace.com. While the website has only been online since last month, they are alreay gearing up to hit the 20,000 member mark.

What is the big draw of this new site? No more underage users, and new features!

"When you think about it, how many people College age and above really want to hang out with Highschool and Jr. High kids? No one ever really wanted this on MySpace, except for the advertisers" adds EveryonesSpace community moderator Bradley Clinton.

Bradley is one of several volunteers dedicated to hunting down underage users, and deleting them immediately. "We know there's going to be some kids lying about their age, as with every site with an age limit. We scan members photos and profiles, and if they look under 18, we terminate the account. We know we're going to make a couple of babyfaced people angry, but unfortunately its something that needs to be done." EveryonesSpace.com also features a "flag account" option that allows all of their users to report an underage member to the staff for review.

Another popular new feature on EveryonesSpace is their special I.D. Verification called "ESID". While not foolproof it is a step towards solving the problem of fake profiles and people pretending to be someone they're not. It's actually a very simple method EveryonesSpace is using to accomplish this. The member simply takes a photo holding up a sign, on that sign the person writes their first name along with the words "On EveryonesSpace.com", these photos are then reviewed by EveryonesSpace staff, and the member will receive a stamp on their homepage showing that they really are whoever they claim to be.

Other advantages of EveryonesSpace includes separate lists for users Friends and Musicians, allowing the user to display their best friends and their favorite bands right on their homepage! Other services make friends and bands share the same space. Along with additional html tools to customize the look & feel of the service, fast servers, and the ability to upload more photos.

EveryonesSpace.com expects its popularity to continue to grow as the College age crowd becomes more and more disguntled with the effects underage users have had on MySpace in the recent months.
