I really hate it

scottishlassI now know why so many OB fanfic archives closed their doors after only a year or so ... they were fed up with updating and/or had no space left.
It seems as we are running out of database space FAST on m.i.t.m. and the only solution so far is to get a pro in so he can fix it .. and it will cost again.
And I know there won't be many donations to help in paying for it. And I'm really asking myself why I still should bother? Why should I really? This is not a hobby anymore but a burden, if I have to pump money into this project. Jeesh this is suposed to be fun ...
After the $300 just a year ago it will probably be the same amount again, to bridge and index three databases so that the stories will appear correctly on the site. With me earning €600 per month (about $770 currently) coughing up $300 is a lot of money. But I guess I'll have to do it. I just hope my PHP guy will allow payment by instalments.
I guess I have to double my efforts to get more freelance jobs, like another porn store to set up. Why a porn store? They pay well, even though I think if I see another nekkid puss or cock I'll go throw up .. or throw something through the window.

I already had several mails complaining about donations. Jeesh ... I knew that would happen. *shakes head*

Date: 2005-03-26 12:08 pm (UTC)I know no webmaster likes asking for donations. I mean, we all KNOW that visitors would complain, so as if we're going to put ourselves up for that unless we absolutely have to!
The stupid thing that the visitors don't get is that THEY'RE the ones using the site and getting the enjoyment out of it. And if they don't want to contribute, then that's fine, but then they shouldn't expect the site to remain around forever, either.
Ugh. People are such DUNCES, sometimes...
