Thanks for the comments everyone.

My viewpoint is that even IF I had several months to produce a product of similar caliber as Dolphin, at this time, it would just be an exercise in futility. There is a lot of work + expertise + time + effort in producing these types of applications. You get all that with Dolphin wrapped up in an install.

Making web apps is hard work. It takes a lot of time, effort and expertise.

I have constantly seen posts on the forums about how someone took massive amounts see more of hours and days for 1 simple mod or function to work. They would chime in on the forum all frustrated asking for help. And that's what the forums are for, to help one another.

Now compare that scenario with what you have for FREE with Dolphin. To have it FREE you merely just have to give credit where credit is due. How simple is that? You want to take out the credit, that's fine too. But you need to compensate the owners. I would think that would be the same scenario if you were in the same shoes as BoonEx.

Again, remember what it is you have gotten and how much you've gotten out of this app called Dolphin.

Just looking around, I see a few hundred sites online and people actually using it. I see several developers and programmers gaining benefits by offering additional services around Dolphin. There is a growing ecosystem of site owners, developers, designers and hobbyists growing flourishing here.

This would not have been possible without the initial efforts of BoonEx. They have a been a catalyst for many people's ideas and dreams.

I do this for a living. Programming and development is my daily work. What BoonEx has done is amazing. Remember that.
