I really dont know what all the fuss is about myself, yes it is a lot of money to splash out, and i'll never be able to afford it, but so what, i'll just use the free version with ads, and that doesnt bother me at all. Why are people so against using the free version i'll never know. some say they are worried that their members will click on the ads and go make their own community, well i'd like to see them try myself, dolphin isnt a ning, where all you do is sign up and hey presto you have an instant see more site, dolphin takes work, and most members just wouldnt be bothered to put the time and effort into it, or have the skill to make it work, or want to spend money for hosting either. Most free forums and the like are just infested with google spam, a dolphin isnt, and to be honest you dont really notice the boonex ads anyway, and as free sites go, boonex i feel have got the ratio of ads just right. Perhaps im missing something here, but for me, the free version is ideal. Plus i notice on some sites that they pay to take the boonex ads off, but then fill it with their own google ads so it looks worse than it did with the boonex ads. The licences are very expensive now yes i agree, so just use the free version, Whats the difference??
