The support is very bad. The (unprofessional) community is just not big enough and the product itself is buggy…even after 6 years of development. The same goes also for phpizabi by the way and during my quest for ‘the right one’ I’ve found out that this is actually the case for all the products out there, even the paid ones: out of the box their just fine, but customizing it is a real pain in the ass. They’ve somehow never developed a prof supported community around them like Wordpress or vBulletin for example. In the end you’re just better of using a hosted service like Ning after all, because otherwise you’ll be missing out a lot of essential Web 2.0 features.

Might look good at first but not suitable for anything even remotely serious. They used to sell this product for $700 I think but made it *free* with paid support which you will end up using due to bugs and security holes. I agree, stay away.

It will work to make a site like myspace or facebook, but its really hard to customize and options are limited.

However, dolphin is probably the worst when it comes to customizing, security, etc, etc...it looks really good out of the box though :D.
