I see a list of "Most disliked users" and "Most blocked users" once I'm logged in. That seems like this is going to be a competition to be blocked with people intentionally acting like trolls. I wouldn't want to spend time on the site if that's what ends up happening.
After reading the front page, it's not obvious to me why anyone would use this. What is the use case you had in mind?
Hardest part about social networks is getting people you know on this site. With this, everyone is your friend to start with.
I don't know about others, but anything that requires me to log in with Facebook ends up stopping me from using it because I don't want all my contacts to see that I signed up for it.

* I don't know where these stats are, or what the figures actually are. People just keep telling me this over and over again.
I think most non-trolls don't realize how powerful the 'dislike' button is. With a like or upvote button, you don't do anything by way of separating trolls from real content. That's what the 'no' is for, and websites shouldn't be afraid of that.
Seriously, from here on out it should rapid cross-platform expansion. I'm looking at you, Youtube.

Michael, agreed. After you block people, the firehouse becomes more consumable. It was built in 30 hours. We will figure out better "games" in the future.
Good luck with the project. I look forward to seeing it grow.

Statistics* show that conversions go up when users are offered a social alternative. * I don't know where these stats are, or what the figures actually are. People just keep telling me this over and over again.

I think they wanted to add it for a dramatic pause. Maybe an ellipsis would work better. "As soon as you start using TrollBlock you are friends... with everyone." This reminds me of the Professional where Gary Oldman says "Bring me everyone. EVERYONE." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB_deAcoC2I
Then a hyphen would be better: "As soon as you start using TrollBlock you are friends - with everyone."

And yet you know none of the people...?
