Well, I have to step in here and give kudos where kudos are deserved. I am an ex member of another online community group that has lost it's way. I spent almost 5 years building a site around their portal only to be left holding the bag when the support for the project dried up and blew away.

I have been watching the Boonex family for some time now and just recently, went ahead and set up a test site (6.16 I believe). I am eagerly awaiting the finish of Version 7 as I plan on moving my entire see more site at towtalk.net to Dolphin.

I am not easily impressed by things internet being an internet freak since before the internet actually existed. (I can remember $1000 phone bills from connecting to BBS's with my 600 baud modem in the days of DOS 2.0)

I have renewed hope. I am actively participating in the testing of the new Dolphin and I get excited each day when I log in to Trac and see that progress is being made.

In business, it is said that if you manage to reach the ten year mark, your venture is considered a success and it can be expected that it will move forward and grow reliably from that point forward. Boonex (and Dolphin) is only 1 year away from that milestone.

Happy Birthday Boonex! Here's to a long lasting and fruitful relationship for both of us.
