Guess it's kind of sad that what was an open source solution is now going to be owned by someone.

I was just about to create a site with it, just before Sphinn launched. Now I'm a bit worried. This is one of those times when it'd be nice to have a few extra million lying around.

Danny - Sphinn obviously has a professionally installed version of Pligg. Would you mind telling us who helped with the install?

Not that you couldn't do this all by yourself, but there may be some folks looking to build similar sites for un-related niches who could use a little help.

@TimDineen - howdy! Nice to meet you :-) I installed and customized the site (and as part of my overall role at TDM continue working on it to stamp out bugs, add features, moderate, etc.) We did hire a developer to create some custom modules that were not part of the Pligg core at the time, and to assist with fine tuning them and the site during our beta. Some similar things we did custom have since been added to the newest version of Pligg while others (the calendar for example) are not included.

Feel free to email or PM me if you'd like to discuss.
