shauk, you made some good parallels there. A bar won't stay open unless it's worthwhile for the management to keep it open. I've been in bars that just closed because the regulars just came in and nursed 1 beer for the night. It's not far from what is happening here now with some of the old timers that cruise in to read but not contribute.

The site isn't paying for itself 100%. It doesn't hit 100% all the time, in fact it hasn't for the past 4 months, I don't expect it to get any closer. At this point in time I pay Halx his costs for the server and I pay for the chatroom myself.

will, it's not going to happen. I'm not going to hand over the reins to anyone else. There isn't anyone on staff at the moment who has the time nor expertise and I don't think that finding and grooming someone for it is worthwhile for all that I've been entrusted, not just from Halx, but from the community. You can stop postulating and wondering why, and that's the simplest answer I can give.

ice, according to google analytics it is more than what this tracker is showing. This tracker strips out all spiders and bots, and focuses on tracking the usage of individuals.
