Social Engine has so many advantages over Dolphin and Pligg. Membership billing is built right into the Social Engine core, so you don't need to add a plugin which may break in order to sell site memberships. It also has extensibility and well commented code.
Social Engine uses a plugins system for add ons which protects existing code from damage, whereas addons for Dolphin and Pligg generally modify core code.
The path between installation and opening your site is the simplest with Social Engine. |
Thankyou once again. Basically what I want to do is have a small website where a small select group of people can post and comment on newslinks on a very niche subject. This is why I was looking at Pligg. I dont need a lot of features and im not going to be selling memberships. Im not sure social engine is right for that? I thought Pligg looks right, but my main concern was if it is hackable or secure and how much system load it uses.
