You do not have to register you're users with the BOONEX site to get them to use the features. That is simply not true!!!!!
Dolphin is excellent! But it will require some $$$ to get the features that you want enabled without ads. Dolphin is far better
than PHPfox. But Vshare should not be trying to become a myspace clone or social community. What they do, they do well. My recommendation would be to raise the price to $15.00 and provide a bridge to a forum (SMF or whatever you choose). For those that have already purchased Vshare, charge $5.00 for the feature upgrade. I hope someone is listening.
