I completely disagree with the PAY TO POST.

I understand the whole SPAM/MULTIPLE user thing and I understand the whole community bias against apparently ignorant users. But making people Pay for the right to post????

Has Boonex ever considered a company point of view? Let me spell it out for you:

XYZ Services is doing very well with a local matchmaking service and wants to expand it to be online After researching the likes of Tufat's OSDate, and Dolphin, they decide to install Dolphin. see more

During the install process, they run into an issue. So, they see that Boonex's ABN number is long distance as they are in the USA of course. So, rather than try to call them, they resort to the blogs, forums etc on Unity and discover their issue is unique.

XYZ Services then attempts to post a question for help and is told they have to pay to have the privilege of posting questions. Sure, it is only $5USD for the lifetime of their usage of Dolphin. Oh yeah, top that off with removing the branding from Dolphin so as to not give away their "Trade secret" for success online to competitors.

While the whole lifetime posting privilege may look great on paper, I can already see a mass exodus of genuine members from here including the Spammers that you have.

I have watched Boonex degrade for a long time and I guess once this comes into effect, I will be locked out because I will NEVER pay for the privilege to post or answer someone's call for help!

UGH!

Do you know of other social networking software companies that charge less? If so, could you post their names? Most of the ones I have looked at give you a "two week" evaluation period - or something like that, before you have to pay. If Boonex has "a mass exodus" of members it is hard to think that those members were all that serious in the first place.

You didn't read all the information. It says Advanced membership is free with the purchase of any license. So that is one thing you missed.

And if you read through the postings you would have seen a response from unoboonex stating that: "All current members are planned to become "Advanced" straight away. We'll weed out the bad ones step by step."

So it looks like most of us would not have to even pay that $5 to post anyway.

And if you are creating a site that you are see more going to use, then I don't think you are not going to purchase a license to remove Boonex's name, unless you work for Boonex, and then you don't need to pay for a license.
