Just to add...it also seems to find documentation as well. The little documentation there is doesn't seem to be very user friendly. I am afraid that if I use Oxwall, I am going to hit a brick wall and have to pay someone a lot of money to get my vision into action.

Looks like I will give you guys a try...thanks for the quick response, Ross.
I know Oxwall from very early stage and its a great platform to start with, what you are asking is simply just a comparison between a paid and free Social Networking Platform.
I searched dolphin's site and found that you need at least $319 just to start the site, where as oxwall is free except for some of the plugins/Themes which are made by 3rd party developers. You can easily find good 3rd party developers here. If you buy a plugin from Oxwall store then, I think all developers provide some time for testing the plugins, so if the plugin doesn't fit your need you can refund it easily.
I Personally think documentation is easy to understand, and as ross said they will be improving it in very near future.
We have a good support here at oxwall's Forum, who would love to help you out... :)
Is there some sort of paid support system where questions are promptly and patiently answered for non-programmers? I like Oxwall, but, in the end, I will probably end up spending more money than a license with Dolphin...not to mention the loss of hours and hour looking for simple answers.

HOly cow....all I am asking is someone to point me in the right direction...ok Skeleton...how in the hell is that helping me???????
Like I said...free isn't free. You have to buy information from Oxwall or its allies to get simple questions answered. In the end, you pay more for Oxwall than Dolphin or any premium service. A poor decision on my part...set me back weeks. I still have a question in the 'active' community that no one has bothered to even look at.HOly cow....all I am asking is someone to point me in the right direction...ok Skeleton...how in the hell is that helping me???????
I think Oxwall docs(https://docs.oxwall.org/) is sufficient for a oxwall starter, but as I earlier said, Oxwall does not provide premium support and I also think its where its lacking but never the less Oxwall is a good platform to start with but the choice is yours....

I don't think Dolphin allows you to create something unique without knowing anything about programming either.
I don't know what you imply by basic knowledge however, but here, community members who know more or less how to program, create plugins even with the current documentation.
The skeleton plugin provides you info on the code structure,which is useful for programmers who are not familiar with the code and how to deal with it.
I don't understand what else do you need, I gave you all the links you asked for, paid support, docs section. What right direction are asking for?

I already told you we do not provide assistance on custom code modification, you either need to hire a programmer: http://www.oxwall.org/market/specialists or do that on your own.I don't think Dolphin allows you to create something unique without knowing anything about programming either.

I'll tell you what, @Durlabh Ashok...I will pay you to set up my site, since you think it is to simple. The price will not exceed the price of Dolphin and you have to provide a tutorial for the 2 or 3 unique plugins I need for custom pages. Message me if you are interested with a price. I am sick of dealing with this nonsense. Oxwall is far from what they advertise it to be. Basic knowledge is not enough, you have to be an expert programmer with an expertise in Oxwall to create anything unique
You can easily get 3 to 4 plugins custom made just for you by oxwall developers(3rd Party) in less than $100...
Doubtful...I have a question still pending in the custom modification forum...not one response.I'll tell you what, @Durlabh Ashok...I will pay you to set up my site, since you think it is to simple.

First of all I am not a developer, I am just a student who one day came across Oxwall and found Oxwall leading from all others when it comes to open source and I don't know how to make plugins and themes, I know Oxwall for more than 2 years and I help others on my Experience basis...You can easily get 3 to 4 plugins custom made just for you by oxwall developers(3rd Party) in less than $100...
I have seen your question( http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/31696 ).What you have asked require code modification on large scale, its isn't a task of few minutes. You can contact any plugin developer and ask them to make you a plugin, I think they will happily assist you in exchange of some fees...
And also please read these:
I myself have created over 20 plugins for my site alone.
