The most overpriced piece of software that you regret buying? - GoFuckYourself.com

BoyAlley · 07-15-2007, 08:50 PM

So let's hear it, what software package did you blow the most money on that you REGRETTED spending after a while?

What was it and how much did you pay?

Jace · 07-15-2007, 09:02 PM

rsstoblog - $249 i think

no support, horrible updates....all but worthless these days

it was NICE at one time...now it is just total garbage

alstrasoft vidshare - biggest POS script i've ever wasted money on...

collegeboobies · 07-16-2007, 12:11 AM

anything over $40

DatingGold · 07-16-2007, 12:12 AM

some webcam software from bluewire for $20k would have probably been the worst or one of the OLDER versions of MPA

mikeyddddd · 07-16-2007, 12:20 AM

I got Cold Fusion 6 or 7 years ago. I don't remember exactly what I paid for it, but it was more than several hundred dollars. I fucked around with it one day.

GreyWolf · 07-16-2007, 12:24 AM

In the adult biz - bought a large number of progs related to this industry or re SEO blah - and doubt any of them were used for more than a week while testing/playing with them. Highest price - dunno, but prob around $300 ish.

It's prob not fair to say they they were useless or regretted buying. The better elements/features were noted and coded into our own software - so call it "research".

Prior to that time, and decades earlier - spent $14K on software for a crappy OS (before PC's were on the market) and that lasted at most a year before dumping it. That was regretted and a total waste of time and money.

Really?
Shows how much attention I pay.

More I did, seems they keep the .cfm urls for legacy reasons, and BlueDragon to parse the CFML to ASP.

Still, CF/Adobe would *have been* rubbing their hands together :D

I bought a java chat server and client w/ customization many years back and that set me back a few thousand bucks. At the time I had a relatively large chat site that was running a poorly written perl script. My users HATED the java chat client and promptly left my site as soon as I implemented it.

I ended up rewriting the perl chat program to use mod_perl to speed things up yet keep the same functionality that my users loved. The java chat system was in use less than a week.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 11-22-2007, 07:15 PM

Always ask for a demo version first, and you will have less/no regret.

JamesK · 11-22-2007, 07:30 PM

You are of course, joking ? Right?

Windows ME has gone down in history as THE worst MS OS in the Windows brand.

Vista is solid ... anyone having problems with it must surely be mentally challenged

No offence

Agreed on the horrible updates and lack of support, but once you figure out how to use it, get an actual working version and stick with it, and then use it to post articles only, merged in with your ads files, then it's fairly useful...

Ah heck, for once I agree with you. Might as well use the free wp-o-matic

shake · 11-22-2007, 08:04 PM

Many many copies of windows on laptops that only lasted a few months before they would die... I shouldn't have to keep buying the same OS only to not even use it at all.

CarlosTheGaucho · 11-22-2007, 08:16 PM

FIFA 98 game way back in 98.

I bought the original and thought I will sell a couple of copies to make at least some money back - cause games here were always super expensive (three to five times more than in US - I actually bought lots of original music and movie DVD's in US as it's so fuckin cheap ).

That apparently haven't happened, but no wonder people here copy and steal like crazy if the prices are so surreal..

clickhappy · 11-22-2007, 11:23 PM

$5,000 for MCSD training classes a few years ago.
I know its not software, but close enough. I didnt understand most of it and never used any of it.

rowan · 11-23-2007, 12:25 AM

I don't regret purchasing Photoshop CS2, but I do think it's overpriced. The value is in it being the de facto standard, not that it does anything particularly wonderful.

thonglife · 11-23-2007, 12:27 AM

Chameleon partner account requestor for $100. Not even worth it.

I deleted it after a few weeks and reinstalled the old version (2003 I think).

gornyhuy · 11-23-2007, 12:34 PM

$4500 on some 'super elite' custom multi-domain site-network-builder-linker/SEO system that sucked ass and even when fed and watered to the letter failed to produce quality traffic.

Brujah · 11-23-2007, 12:53 PM

Years ago, about $800 for Adobe Photoshop. Windows version. I'm on a Mac now. I never learned how to use it. I wonder what it would cost me to upgrade to a Mac version.

I'm still using Office 97 OEM version. you have to do a few little tricks to get it to run on XP SP2, but it works perfectly once you have it installed properly.

No need to buy any of that new bloatware.

Paying for operating systems always chaps my buttocks, but I guess it is a necessary evil.
