300,000 developing? What were you doing? Building a mini-center?

Sorry to hear about your luck, must be the PHP circles you run in.

ive got nothing to prove. Im not a "coder" Im a business owner, and when you have actual overhead like corporate expenses (yes i have an actual corporation) offices, employees, software and hardware, it adds up very quickly over the years.

You can figure it out - -make script to help you with the math -- full time coders and overhead for them, what do you think that costs.

I developed a portal system that allows us to create websites for other businesses - its proprietary and has 90% of features needed by a small business.

So yeah - most coders (Php im sure) are probably full of it, but thats where you made the wrong assumption about me.


I now realize what PHP stands for -- Pointless and Harassing Posts -- if you have no interest in the project, are you guys so miserable, you have nothing to do but bash a person looking for someone with a script or abilities to make one?


this thread is obviosly no good anymore, there are not professionals here, just unemployed coders. Im sure you guys will continue to post here for the next 6 months, just to get out your frustrations of using an open source technology trying to convince someone its actually worth something.

I am removing my notifications and wont be replying

feel free to carry on amongst yourselves. As Im sure you will

But you dont have to worry about what I do, now do you?

Yeah your right, its just the way you made out like your some big time developer, needing a solution that will meet your specific needs and in a specific language!

Then when someone recommends a cheap out of the box script its perfect!

Which I might add is coded in PHP, which you so boldly said you didnt want.

Yeah thats right, where all a bunch of losers.

Im surprised you posted your project on here, being so professional and all.

"(yes i have an actual corporation) offices, employees, software and hardware"

Yeah sure you do.

The only myspace / friendster script that i found with any support or updates is

http://www.socialnetworkscript.com

The team of developers here look promising so far compared to alot of other script makers that abandone their projects after the money starts coming in. Ive been burned multiple times and i think support is the most important thing..

Lol, the sure sign of someone who doesn't have a clue. For $300,000 you could have had it hand-coded in babies blood and then personally delivered on the backs of Nubian slaves.

$300,000 to develop a script? Not something to brag about, frankly. More like a mark of incompetence.

It was probably the next-generation 'million-pixel homepage' script.

phpizabi is actually good, the reason the guy had problems is because it requires ioncubes. the new version, Alicia, will not have that requirement and it will be much easier to run. I have played with izabi a lil, but I think ill wait for the Alicia to come out.

live demo:

in my opinion PHPfox is ugly and not worth the $$

I am willing to spend up to 1k to buy a good script. Which social networking script is a good buy and is seo friendly?

[paul00241]

http://www.phpfox.com SUCK, THEY ARE THIEVES... THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE SCRIPT AND THEY KEEP ON CHARGING CUSTOMER FOR ANY BUG THEY FIX BY CHANGING THE VERSION.

WATCH OUT!!!!.

THE SUPPORT SUCK, I AM WONDERING IF THE SCRIPT BELONGS TO THEM. BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS IF THEY DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SCRIPT.

I AM PLANING TO FILE A SUIT AGAINST THEM AND ONE THAT WANTS TO JOIN IS WELCOME!!!!!

This thing with Window and Linux/Unix.....Each has its strengths and weaknesses. I run Windows 2k3 Server for asp sites and I also have Apache/PHP/PERL/MySQL installed also. Why run APPM on a windows server?
The php/perl for windows does not do the job. All kinds of errors even on some of the simple scripts when running them thu IIS. But put them thru Apache, and they run great. So instead of running 2 servers, I just run them both on the same box which happens to run Windows as the OS. Have been doing it for over 4 years now without any hitches.

As far as windows goes, no its not free, but once the initial purchase is done, say $200 for the OS, thats it. There is no 'keep paying and paying and paying' as a previous post put it. I ran Win2k Advanced server for 3 years and just upgraded to Win 2003 with very little cost. Windows does have bugs and security issues, but the fixes are free and forthcoming. Linux/Unix has its security issues and bugs too, but Ive only heard about them and not experienced them since I don't run that.

So if you like windows and .asp/.net or apache/php/mysql, who cares? You like what you like. Some people like Ford cars, some Chevys. So what? They both do the same thing. Point A to B. Some people like fat women, some like skinny ones...big deal.

But when all is said and done, everyone makes money no matter what they use, whether they paid for the OS or not. Some make more than others. Im sure there are plenty of windows hosts that make a killing....as do plenty of Linux hosts.

Why all the fuss over an OS? Just give the poor bastard what he needs if you can and make some money from him. If you can't code in .asp/.net go find some php work. if you cant code in php...go find some .asp work. This forum has it all for anyone.

Flaming a person is worthless. It benefits no one. And most of the time it makes the flamer look like a loser...

Just my 2c worth
