Wow - Don't buy from StockScripts.com

    Reasons being:

    - Poorly (notice the emphasis) made scripts. Their SocialJenny (myspace clone) script is full of bugs that almost make the site unusable. This is after making sure my server was compatible with the script, upgrading to their "Developer" version, and fixing some bugs myself.

    - I was supposed to get 6 months of free "Support". I can only chuckle at that promise. I was actually surprised that I got an email response by them though. Oh but that was because I needed to pay another $50 to upgrade my script to the "DEVELOPER" version which you need to edit the files. Why did you encrypt the files again?

    - I only received responses back when it had to do with me paying them more money. Silly isn't it?

    - I was banned on their forum for speaking up about their lack of support that was promised. I understand that it may take a while to respond to an inquiry... but weeks at a time? I can't prove or show what I said to them because they deleted the posts (surprise surprise), but I did nothing to deserve a ban.

    I've dealt with FREE scripts that have been more reliable than these.

    I'm not trying to be a nagging customer... in fact, it wasn't even my money that was spent. This post is to direct those users interested in buying a myspace or youtube clone script AWAY from StockScripts.com. Just trying to help out all your smart consumers :)

    Thanks for the heads up! We are in the process of developing a myspace / facebook clone that should be due out by the end of the month. It is called SeeMySpace. Please check out havli.com for more details.

    Thanks Angela. I'll bookmark that for future reference.

    Make a script that customers can actually depend on working and you'll be golden.

    I've purchased some other scripts for stockscripts.com before and their support team is horrible! It takes them at least a week to respond to anything and when they do it has nothing to do with what you asked them!

    Personally I always try to avoid anywhere which either sets a limited support period, or charges for support; in my mind it sends out the message that money comes before customers. While obviously the name of the game is to make a profit, the priority should always be customers - take care of them and they'll take care of you.
