Chris, this is just ridiculous - schedules and firm date commitments happen all the time in IT - you are not the only one here who has worked for a software company. Whenever people raise this as an issue, people jump in and say how wrong people for basing their business decisions on the official announcements here, and that "Boonex should take all the time they need". When you think about it, they are essentially saying people are stupid for believing Boonex - which seems to be much see more more of an insult to Boonex than to us. Someone on that other blog post you are referring to reminded us that many months ago it was going to be "a few more weeks". What is wrong with believing that? You're right about one thing though, "Boonex's QA department is US, the members" - unfortunately, without that upgrade script, they are getting lousy testing as few people get more than a few weeks into development before having to destroy their work to start all over. You are also right - it is like torture.

Hey Rob, I'm sorry you felt this was ridiculous. I also understand that I am not only who has ever worked for a software company either. But you should know as well as I do that IT/Software companies miss deadlines as promised all the time. Problems always seem to arise when you least expect it (just as Microsoft. haha)

It just seems to me that everyone is getting angry because they are going hungry or cannot pay mortgages because Dolphin 7 is not out yet or something. Is that really the case? see more

I am by no means defending anyone here, but this is a social networking software, that for some, was supplied for free. I do agree with you, as stated above, that Boonex should provide more communication/update progress to the members so at least we know something. But it just seems some are going a bit overboard with comments.

PS. Rob, there is nothing wrong with believing. Just try not to get too hopeful in case something falls through.

I just looked it up, that "couple of more weeks" statement for D7 was made on the Boonex blog in November of 08 - almost a full year ago. Check out this forum thread I just found from a year ago: http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/topic/new-dolphin-7-0.htm

Those same things could have been said last week - and many of them were!
