Promises,Promises,...ect.
Okay this is about all I can take. 2 years you have been promising us a working Dolphin, and for 2 years we have been told, it's almost there!. I know you all are working hard at this, but so are we. Don't keep giving us false hope and making us look bad to our members and customers. This is REALLY ridiculous folks!
I am getting tired of having to let members know that what you promised us time and time again is NOT happening. Are you really working on the security, or is this just another promise? Enough is enough. Give us a REAL RELEASE DATE, and please stop posting false hope to us.
Now for the ones that are going to trash this blog or remove, well do what you got to do! I for one am tired of paying for hosting that is never used. I am tired of empty promises also. Let's face it, a lot of us are just plain tired of being treated like a bunch of stupid morons that are constantly being lied to.
How do you expect to receive the trust and loyalty of your members if you keep this crap up? How can you expect people to invest their hard earn money into your software if it don't work?
I don't know about your country, but in USA money is tight and we all are just making ends meet here. We can NOT afford to waste our hard earn money like we have waiting for your so called "great" product.

I agree there haven't been firm promises for a "stable D7" - but there have been promises for the see more
For the record, I would have no problem if you grew a pair of balls and used my name directly, instead of using terms like "one guy"... or "one of the members". I really would appreciate direct credit for the things I say. For the record, your reading comprehension skills suck..... and that's putting it quite mildly.
You like to constantly shitpick see more
Andrew, I'm pretty sure there have been quite a few promises to release Dolphin 7, unless I totally misunderstand the way you folks express yourselves, or define the concept of "promise".
In either case, could I get some sort of an answer to my "Roadmap for future RCs and Stable" blog from yesterday, or should I just come back in January or June to see if D7 has began to officially see more

Looks like direct opposite to my initial reply here, but I guess it's the tone of the discussion that helped. Anyway, the point is that we did want and we did plan to release it a year ago, 11 months ago... 2 months ago, 1 month ago, yesterday, etc. We couldn't. I've been telling you about the process and you could see what's happening starting from Alpha 1.
All in all, I feel sorry see more
I am sorry to say but I really did not liked the tone of this message unoboonex.
We all understand SLDC takes time but imagine if you had a real high paying corporate customer then would you have replied the same way?? We all know that during the requirements/SOW phase, a complete roadmap of the project is prepared and it's strictly followed.
I also invested $500 buying mods see more
@LightWolf, Caltrade, et al: While I disagree with your perception of being deceived by BoonEx, as well as with other comments re Dolphin 7's development process and its impact on your finances (how can anyone make a business plan based on a software company's "we are going to release a new version that will knock your socks-off very soon" see more
Lots and Lots of Blogs i have seen in just 6 months with TONE and Andrew's reply was always very gentle, polite and cool.
He is also a human, if we ppl can release frustration for waiting, nothing wrong if he said something with TONE in a different mood.
We must appreciate him, he is also feeling sorry for the delays.
Releasing RC as unstable and unsecured is not wise.
We are a family dear friends, let everyone speak sometimes with a TONE.
But, as for me, I agree with BoonEx. Working a longer time on beta versions rather than having to apply numerous patches on a quickly released "Final" version is the best possible choice.
P.S. Yes, Houston you are guilty for endless extra delay ! And you are not the only one... Some others who spent weeks to test and post reports or suggestions have to be blamed see more
this is meant to be a business, with people (members), wanting to mostly use the software for business purposes, so when promises are made, words used to imply a software is immanent, Other people make plans and promises see more
When you walk a mile in my shoes and develop in D6 what I have done, then you can start to preach, but right now I'm seeing a group of people standing around waiting to be handed something for nothing just see more
I can only affirm that losing two thousands of pounds is a cheap lesson - you should not give promises based on somebody else's expectations.
I have not made any promises, mind you. If you have, and failed to deliver, you seeming untrustworthy is in my opinion a correct assertion.
Boonex has taken the stance of sharing dates, status, and development roadmaps with us. I cannot name too many other private companies that do see more

Im sure i have got the implication wrong, but if i haven't, i do take great offence to being called untrustworthy when i based my decision on trust,as my client see more
