Well I have been running a free online gay personals site for a while. But I am shutting it down. Now I'm not shuting it down becuase I can't afford it. It was very popular from the start and grew fast. Problem is the software I was used. I purchased the dating script from datetopia.com. I purchased this software about a year ago. Support was very bad, took days to respond. First off the software comes with a ton of bugs. The software itself is encrypted which makes it nearly impossible to fix the bugs or add new features. Basically you have to code around the bugs and some features are not useable.
The owner of this product says bugs will be fixed in the next release which you have to pay for. And what do you get but new bugs. It took me over six months to fix everything, get the layout just right, and add new features of my own. Then just 2 days ago my software completely locked up. Warning messages appeared all over my site saying "License expired, Please contact for a new License". I'm like WTF?? So after 3 days of waiting for this guy to get back to me while my users went without a working site, he sends me the new License.
The new License turns out to be the entire package encrypted. So in order to upgrade the License and get the site working I have to replace all the site files with old buggy encrypted software. Meaning all the bug fixes and changes I have made over the last 12 months would be lost and have to be coded back in line by line which would take me another 6 months. I just don't have the time or energy to start all over. :cry:
DO NOT buy this software. YOU WILL regret it for the rest of your life. Just wanted to share that with you guys. This product I found out goes under different names including Match Agency, Dating Agent, and Datetopia. Avoid at all costs.
