One word, FREE. Aside from this being free, it is easy to use and easy to customize as well. There are other un-official sites that have various mods and templates for BoonEx Dolphin. Some cms systems come and go but trust me, this one will remain and will continue to spread once word gets spread around the internet. I love it!

I have been testing dolphin for about 2 months. It has major issues from the business model up. Instead of fixing it, they keep adding stuff that doesn’t work either.
I would start listing specifics, but it would be a 10 page post. I don’t plan on using it. It did help me in terms of telling my programmer what to do with our cms so it will do what I need in terms of a social networking site.use of ajax is very good in dolphin. but it has cc-gpl etc which hints that some bugs have been left out deliberately. not suitable for production website but it a open source with many good feature,which needs to be added in open source social networking, in long term it will become stable but not like joomla etc because of half harted attemt to make it GPL.
So, don’t plan on deploying it on a production site or you will be completely screwed. You have been warned lol.
I may install the latest patch which is …x03 for amusement purposes but it still doesn’t work out of the box. It is riddled with logic errors… Imagine 5000 people screaming about stuff and having 3 people to address the issues. That’s what you are in store for.

Boonex Dolphin Scam Script is the most ugly and terrible piece of code I’ve ever seen!!! Try to digg in the code, change something substantially – and you’ll see yourself that it has architecture that is impossible to deploy. Structured programming mixed with OOP that violates all normal rules of OOAD, ugly and difficult to read style of coding – man I’m so angry and disappointed with it – current project I’m building upon it is late because I HAD TO REIMPLEMENT MOST SOCIAL NETWORKING FEATURES what was done because of tight coupling of code and terrible design in general…>:( Don’t even think of buying it if you plan to change at least something about it substantially. It might work if you plan to stick with it while making minor changes – mostly styles and colors. But everything over that will make you regret…
I haven’t tried other Boonex products yet (and never will do so!), but DOLPHIN IS THE WORST SCRIPT I’VE EVER SEEN. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND USING OTHER PRODUCTS – there are plenty of them.
Considering previous post – why someone wants to lie about company whereabouts? There’s no other answer but to fool customers. They say they offer quality product with customer support, which is a big lie. Boonex Scam Script has a lot of complaints all around the web. Try googling Boonex complaints. Report to http://www.BBB.org if you have your own complaint.
Don’t get fooled – use SocialEngine, JomSocial, Drupal, etc instead. Boonex is a scam.
