What? You think you can't do it in 1 simple, easy move? Many of you are threatening to do it over a change here on the Boonex/Unity site. I've seen the following:
How many more stupid idiotic statement are going to be made?
In the end, Boonex has recognized a problem exists on the Expertzzz.com site in regards to individuals stealing mods, posting fake mods, malicious code inside of mods and so many other acts that it has gotten out of control. Heck, some individuals have even gone the route of deleting a mod when it gets a bad rating and reposting it to keep their record clean. It would take way to many hours of coding to clean up/update the expertzzz.com site into something that can be reputable and the reputation overall is so tarnished it would be a waste of funds and man hours. Therefore Boonex is preparing us for the only solution to it that is viable. Shut down the expertzzz.com site and move things to Unity, where more moderation controls already exist and the reputation has not been tarnished.
As part of this move Boonex is requesting of the members of Unity, that we pull back our curtains and reveal to the world who we are. In return, we will be rewarded with free access to all parts of the Unity Site and all the items it has to offer. Every single thing on Unity will suddently be available for you to use (You will have to pay for extensions you want and licenses of course). For those who choose to not provide there names, Boonex will limit your actions to those parts of the site.
In addition, Boonex has stated, that you may choose to provide your real name, while keeping it hidden from the public view. Now, they did not state that if you provide your real name and hide it from public view that you will be denied access to all parts of the site, only that if you refuse you will be denied. Seems pretty fair to me, but Andrew Boonex can feel free to chime in here on this item.
Now, Boonex in my opinion has been incredibly giving so far, let's look at how giving they are.
1. Providing a Social Networking Script to you for free and only asking that you run their ads which advertise the script or you pay for a very reasonably priced license. If you wanted to write a script on your own, it will take you thousands of hours to pull off what boonex provides in Dolphin for Free.
2. Boonex has for years now, paid $700.00 (That's United States Dollars) per month to run a free RMS for those who can't afford to buy licenses. That's $8,400.00 (Again, United States Dollars) per year. The monthly cost is more than someone who owns a Free site has paid in total including server bills more than likely. Yeah, the world knows what servers the free sites get thrown on, and if you have a VPS-1 at HFW, then you spend approximately $431.46 (Still United States Dollars) per year on that which is still not what Boonex spends in a month on the RMS they have been providing.
When did Boonex ask any of you to pay for the RMS? In fact, they are offering all of you the opportunity to get anything you have stored on it off before they close up the shop. Wow, those are some really mean guys aren't they? We should call the cops and have them arrested for how hardened they are. Get real.
3. Boonex provides support to anyone who needs it, regardless of whether you have a free or paid account, contributor or non-contributor to help out with sites. I have personally seen Boonex workers under the direction of Boonex upper management go into servers that had problems and repair Dolphin sites free of charge when the error was a unique one or just one that was beyond the site owners ability to fix. I've seen them do this for free, I've seen them go even further and help train the site owners to deal with the problem in the future should it arise. Will Joomla do that? Will phpBB3 do that? Will AEDating do that? I don't think so. Heck, most hosts will not even consider doing that without getting paid by the hour for it first.
Now, people seem to be in an uproar over a request that Andrew Boonex, the founder of Boonex (and the man who gave each and everyone of us the software to start our businesses for free), to provide our real names in order to prevent issues from happening on Unity that happened on Expertzzz. Instead of reading his post and comprehending, the majority of you are instead proving you definitely have no addiction problems, because you can't even get hooked on phonics and basic sentence comprehension, let alone anything else.
Personally, I take pride in my name. It was given to me by my parents, who took the time to consider many names and pick the one they felt would serve me best in life. My name is representative of many years of hard work, endurance, committment, compassion, passion, blood, sweat, tears and love. It is part of my heritage going back for many centuries to Ireland and Mexico, it is the proof that man can overcome anything that comes in his way, of how to families immigrated from different parts of the world and found a common denominator that united them and in the end created my brother, my sisters, myself, my children and someday my grand children, great grandchildren and many generations long after.
My name is the one thing that can never be taken from me, it is I and only I that can truly tarnish it. It is the very name that when you hear it tells you that I will persevere, I will do what I have promised, I will stand behind all things I do with it, I will stand beside all whom I use it to commit to. My name is a symbol of my pride. It is a symbol that will be here long after I am gone and one thing that will be around centuries after I leave the world.
For me to hide behind a screenname is to say I am embarrassed by my name. To use excuses and fear as justification for my hiding behind a screen name and refusing to let others know who I am is a sing of cowardice. To hide behind a screenname so I can do less than honorable actions is intolerable.
I have for days now been reading the whines, cries, outrage, excuses, threats, cowardice, fear and flat out temper tantrums of the members of Unity. These people are the same people I see right now in the Forums talking about how to get D7 to work? Am I missing something here?
Yes, the very people who are swearing they will never provide their names, who are screaming bloody kidney stones that they will leave Unity and dump Dolphin software are the same people who are testing out the D7 software that Boonex has provided to them for free of charge and without asking for anything in return. To me this screams that you are two faced and untrustworthy.
My real picture has been posted on Unity since day one. I have never hidden behind a fake picture or a fake name. My sites all have my name available for research on the whois.com and they will never move under a corporate name or a proxy name. I am proud of who I am, I am proud of the work I do, I am proud of the software I operate and I am proud of the sites I maintain. It is with great pride that I stand here and help (even if it is rudely) on the Unity Forums and Blogs, it is with pride that I will be here for a long time to come.
For those who are running your sites with the software that Boonex has provided for free and are whining, each of you should be deeply ashamed of yourselves. To throw such a childish temper tantrum over a request to do something that you can opt out of or provide a fake name with while you sit there and make money from the very software that was given to you is disgusting.
Today I am proud to be a part of Unity, more proud than I have ever been as I see the direction it goes in. Unfortunately, I am also disgusted that I have been associated with such self-serving, immature, childish, asinine, insensitive, greedy individuals who run around falsely act as if they are mature business owners.
This is Andrew Boonex's site, this is Andrew Boonex's software and these are the rules as they are set forth by Andrew Boonex. If you don't like the rules, then go build your own software package and set your own rules. Until then, deal with it!
We can post less than this? I thought the blogs had a minimum posting requirement... LOL

firstly do something with yours world smaller communities and next post something what is not stupid like this (probably all your) post
Perhaps if he knew what I was really up to he might start singing a different song, but he won't because I won't tell.
This is meant to be a community, a unity, and rightly or wrongly people see this as a breach in their security, the majority of the community (who have spoken) really are uncomfortable with this and that should matter.
This isn't a follow the rules deal, this is way bigger than that and people are now concerned about see more
–adjective
1. left to one's choice; not required or mandatory: Formal dress is optional.
2. leaving something to choice.
Optional, NOT required!
2. I don't own Gathering of Watchers, that is a site (if you took the time to read) that I built for someone else in one week. It's simply a demo that dolphin can be made to work in a quick manner.
3. Everyone knows see more
2)If its demo or no i dont know
3) How much users have your "other" site when you scream here like founder of facebook
4) what you want tell us with this?
5)all understand this but only you write post like this... if its not required why you talking about it? everyone can make own choose
6) i agree millions of people using facebook with real names and none kill them
7)you can go too someone have other opinion like you
8)no see more
2. Your right you don't know because your still new here.
3. What does Facebook have to do with #3? If you spent time here (Oh yeah, you do as techtex is a fake profile) then you already know that.
4. Was in response to Tykes comment concerning how much I got paid for this rant of mine. Nothing, I like to rant, it's my right.
5. Because you guys are all whining about it like it's the end of the world and I'm tired of listening to you guys see more
2)Ok maybe but 4 members? really big LOL mr. professional
3)No i want say you play here to big man but you have 3 world smaller community and scream here like facebook founder (you are not facebook founder facebook have more than 4 members)
4)yes i agree you are not paid from boonex but how i see your post you are very good lackey
5)yes im young very stupid and ugly
6)story about myspace girl is total different
7)no see more
The point is, it doesn't really matter if in reality some fears are unfounded, if your clients feel threatened by the move, then that should be good enough.
A business shouldn't be founded on alienating its clients, and this has the potential of doing just that.

It's been long ago established that the vast majority (I thik it's 80% please correct me on this if I'm wrong on the percentage) of site errors are directly related to the server that individuals attempt to install it on, ignoring the system requirements of the software. Imagine that, people trying to install see more
Yes MD you are a very clever coder so dont be so modest, who can dig deep, and you have see more
The condition was put into place for a reason, people knew this wouldn't go down well with the majority, and for some good reasons.
I actually made a topic on this on one of my established sites, and the reaction i got was much the same as on here. People are really uncomfortable with this idea, and you have to respect that see more
I can't understand why people can't understand the term optional.
Well youtube did not listen to the users and what do you know? Most those same people use youtube today.
As long as they offer this for free. They can ask anything they want of you.
Perhaops it would be a good idea that if people pay they don't have to see more
All opinions and you know what they say about opinions right?
Its really simple when you look at it. You have 3 choices here:
1) you provide you real name in order to receive additional "extras" for being verified.
2) you don't give your name and nothing changes..
3) get all pissed off and just leave
It's kinda like I said before in another blog, if a "guest" visits your dolphin site, they can browse around and stuff but they will not get the see more
As far as everyone using fear to prove their case, in my opinion that is ridiculous. Plenty of people here know my real name, it's never been a secret. In fact, at one point someone even thought they were funny see more
Sometimes we need someone to slap us till we wake up.. too much bliss is making us rioting for any dust particle touching our sensible nose.. Get real people, change the way you think toward Boonex, they don't owe us nothing, be polite in your requests, criticize their decisions with arguments but don't get wild with nonsense.. Wake up, this is a loud call..
P.S. Don't ever think I am on anyone's side, I am always objective.. sometimes we see more
It is that simple, you can force it on people how ever we have the choice as humans to give it out or not!
Lets stop and think here ... everyone knows that the Internet is dangerous and we all have been fucked 1 way or another and we have our own rights to protect ourselves from the evil ones so to speak!
Lots like to comapare see more
If you go to Adobe.com and want to download PhotoSchop you need to give them all of your information, including address. Hmmm... Did everyone forget that part?
