Howdy Ping. You gotta admit, the way this thread appeared was pretty funny... at least I thought so. Thanks for that.... we need all the humor we can get around here lately.

I can't say that I have chosen Dolphin yet. When I first saw D6, I thought it was a perfect solution for me. When I tried to start a site with D6, I quickly found out differently. I wanted to build a social networking site, and D6 is a dating site script...period. You can add all the ridiculously high priced mods you see more want to D6, but at the end of the day, you'll have nothing more than a frankensteinian dating site. My site was just a few weeks old when I put everything on hold.

That was right about the time, talk about Dolphin 7 started to pick up. At the same time I was having a look at every single social networking script available, and I found major shortfalls in every single one of them.

Dolphin 7 intrigued me enough to stick around for a while, and make as much noise as I could about implementing core features missing from D6. D7 will be more of a social networking script, and less of a dating site script. You will be hard pressed to find anything that comes close to competing with the D7 feature set.

Boonex has recently taken steps to improve the quality of products that are released, and I believe this will become apparent when D7 is introduced in its final form.

So in answer to you question, D6 is indeed full of bugs, but worse than that, it's obsolete. The redeeming factor is D7.
Just wondering, since you haven't decided on Dolphin yet as your main social networking tool ... do you have a Plan B up your sleeves already, or you'll roll one up after testing D7?

The probability of me using D7 stands at about 95%. If Boonex doesn't implement the photo/media albums and privacy controls in a sensible manner, that 95% probability will fall off in a big hurry.

I hate to think about plan B. Plan B is very, very expensive.
Once I've taken a test drive of D7 I'd be interested to share notes with you, houstonlively, and all others interested to do the same, re gaps in it that we strongly believe should be filled (eg privacy-related features).

Perhaps there is a way for us to jointly fund the development work involved in these? I'd be open to discussions on this when the right time comes.
