It just seems like its a site of its own. Like its not really part of my site. It uses its own URL's for profiles and that messes with a lot of other plug-ins. It has its own navigation and features that aren't part of my site. The members are always having trouble using it and customizing their pages, most members dont even bother because it is just too hard and buggy.
A lot of the features either dont work or are just too much of a pain in the ass to use that its not worth it since there are better/easier ways to accomplish the same thing. Meebo for example is next to impossible to use.
I dont know, I dont mean to bad mouth it because obviously it has its uses somewhere and they have definitely put a lot of work into it. I respect and appreciate that. I just dont like how it seems to take on a life of its own and not integrate well with the site. I also dont like how it is always trying to connect back to zoints.com in one way or another. ect ect ect...

I've had it for about 6 months and never really liked it. I've worked on it a lot and tried to make it work but I've just never been happy with it. I've finally come to the point where I'd just rather have the standard profiles now then have to deal with it any more.
