brand new site hacked

Not a very impressive package you're trying to sell.

First, features didn't work right and I had to google up answers to get them working.

Support is non existant.

The same questions go unanswered.

And then my site was compromised because of your crap code.

There is no way I would ever pay for this product.

Before write things, read the forums.

Yes its correct that there are some problems, but most problems is because not correct installed server software, or servers with no specific  setting that Dolphin need to run.

And most servers are bad installed about security questions, or never updated to the newest software.
I have running two Dolphin installs with no problems.

Cheers.

Very true and you should review -->http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DolInstallation

Also OpenSource is intended to be free with minor licensing so you can evaluate it before purchasing licenses. You're more then welcome to go purchase some "commercial" software before evaluating it like PHPFox :)

I have been configuring Dolphin6.0+ for nearly 12 months. It's more stable then phpFox and more robust then Joomla. But around here...We are more interested in UNITY then impressing anyone. If you want to test Dolphin in it's full glory and see it work nicely please visit www.DolphinDomains.net workin Dolphin6.1.4 and you can even access the admin.
