I totally agree with you, we as site owners don't feel our feedback is important, although we are the actual user of the platform, and we know what is the practical issues of it. For example, I moved from Ning to boonex one year ago, I notice that the page views per visit is much less than Ning site, and it is due to small tweaks in the design and the way the platform operate, and I know what need to be done to reach there. But I don't feel my experience and feedback will be taken seriously since see more it require hard work to be done

As members of the Boonex (Unity) community, we have to share somewhat in this blame. For example, how many legitimate issues go completely ignored without any response in the forums. I'm not talking about my own, or ones written with such poor English that it's reasonable to say you can't understand what's being said...But real problems, that even the community ignores, so when your bug ticket takes a while for any developer to listen to it, realize that there aren't very many developers, but hundreds see more if not more in the community, and we can't even respond to basic requests for help.

A valid counterpoint might be that Boonex is making a small profit from Dolphin, and we the community are not, and in fact are paying for it. But there are many in the forums who do discuss certain topics and try to help, many more than there are Boonex developers. So why can't we step up, and show Boonex how it's done? Prove our point!

well, communication might be a barrier. Even with Good communication, we[site admins] repair few minor bugs ourselves and "never report to boonex".
reason is we dont have time to do that because we pay to buy a cms, pay to buy mods, pay for the server, pay incentives to members, burn our time/head to do something better day by day. thats it.

say, Boonex has 1million registered and premium accounts.
when the site encounters an error, i get an email. if the same email is cc'd to some see more bug analysis system in boonex. the boonex members,developers,experts can watch that and do major bug fixes. which will make the platform more stable.
Eg: firefox crash report, Windows Error Reporting...

this is heck of a job which needs too much manpower. still if the top 10 bugs are killed thats better than the rest.

i'd be happy to pay $$$ to hook my server with boonex to ensure that my server is monitored by boonex for stability issues...

Oh I agree completely with the bug submission idea, so long as it was opt-in by site admins. And you do make a valid point about all the free time we have being used making our own sites solid.

Overall I am very pleased with Dolphin, and plan to use it for a long while longer. It get's two thumbs up from me.
