Dude, thanks, man. You may have saved me $2500 and MORE IMPORTANTLY scream time over the phone for scripts that don't work. I think everyone here has had the latter experience.

2) Data wasnt backed up correctly....... countless times. There was alot of data that was dropped , even though the backup file wasnt being created due to a path issue. There was no warning sent or anything, it just continued to drop data until I had to tell the webmaster that all his data was gone.
3) No way to disable accounts, you were either active or the entire row in the subscriber database was removed.
4) Pay periods are controlled manually and there is alot of potential for error with no way to undo.
................. That is just the beginning off the top of my head.
And no I dont program avs' , just sharing an experience I had with it ;) .
