I must admit, from first glance, and for those who are used to geocities, and angelfire, Dolphin would present several problems. I have personally been using dolphin for several years now, not only a user of dolphin http://terabyte-hosting.com and http://dolphin-techs.com but i am also a hosting service provider who hosts this application.

The problem most have is that they think they are going to drop an app onto a $2.00/month hosting environment and compete with facebook and myspace. Well that simply is not going to happen.

It is clear that those who would complain about an open source app, rather than utilize it for what its worth, have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. The deal here is this, yes they charge to remove the branding, big deal, many open source developers do the same thing. If you had something even remotely similar in functionality custom built, you are talking about spending somewhere in the neighborhood of $300k. So you spend a few bux for branding removal, you spend a few bux on some custom mods, that by the way, you were incapable of producing yourself, which lead you to the point of needing to purchase the mods.

Lets look at this on the grand scheme of things. Do you go around bashing ford or gm, because their vehicles are $30k+, and you have to keep paying and after you finished paying the car off, because you failed to maintain the vehicle.

I think not.

Boonex is a good company, not the greatest, and all who provide a service to the community at large, are going to always have one or two complaints. Based on the number of downloads, compared to the number of complaints, i would say that boonex is doing really good. You can find slander across the board about any and every open source application that has ever been released.

Put on your big girl panties and quit your sniveling.
