I don't intend for the site to go anywhere - as I say it brings in enough to cover the basic costs and leave me with a little bit of profit - even if it were making a small loss I'd keep it going as it means a lot to me. But realistically it is hard for me to justify spending many tens of thousands of dollars developing new features so when we have people willing to contribute to the site for nothing (or a nominal amount in most cases but far less than market rate) then as I started by saying they deserve the respect of anyone who uses this site. |
Hmm, would you be willing to allow others to work on the site then? I know that it's a bit difficult to figure out who is suitable for the job and who can be trusted with that power, but I think that there would be at least some people willing to help (of course I could be wrong, but I guess that is an idea).
