I realize I hardly ever post, but this is my opinion. I have been operating some type of community or dating site for a lot of years, 15 or more. I've tried just about every solution out there, both free and bought ones. Beleive me I have at times paid much more than these prices for inferior software. I kicked myself on many occasions because their demo worked and looked good, but once I bought the product it never worked right and the coding was shoddy. If I wanted more functionalty the mods were see more way over priced. None offered the amount of functionality and interactivity that this one does. I can assure you none ever offered a free video chat server for me to use.

Paid scripts always just had a demo, no free version I could try. I won't name all the ones I bought, but you would recognize them all. The Dolphin free version becomes appealing since you can fully create and run a site and test the script without limitations, just a few links. It's not a pig in a poke as the old saying goes.

Considering all that is included in Dolphin I couldn't complain about the pricing. Given my budget, I'd likely run the free version in hopes of eventually affording the paid version as I have been doing for a while now. I did just buy the ad free license for a new site I'm doing because I have been using the script for quite a while and am comfortable with it. I'm hoping that when my paid license expires the site will be able to make enough revenue to renew it. If not I'll have the links back, I won't be crying about it.

In the long haul the complete package is less money, not more. This has been pointed out several times already. From a business perspective that's a good move on the part of Boonex. As a business person I prefer a fully funtional solution with all the bells and whistles included. I can build on that type package through creating my own mods or purchasing ready made ones.

I want to point out I am disabled and on a fixed income. A $100 is a lot of money for me. I still feel the pricing is completely fair the "Dolphin Package". Since I do some scripting as well as build flash apps I can appreciate the time and energy being put into this script. It's easy to complain when you don't do the work.
