You're looking too far into it Swerve. Paul always said he didn't do this for profit, and that he enjoyed doing this despite the money it takes, etc. etc. etc. I guess that the burden was too heavy for Paul to carry after Isaac left. Even if Eos took over the moderation and etc.
I also recall him saying that his extractor and the site would look good on a resume.[/color]
Swerve Wrote:Sorry I could have sworn it was a sarcastic statement. Maybe it's personal bias. I mean, it's been fairly obvious that activity has dramatically slowed down. In the beginning it's questionable whether or not the comments within Southperry were worth the #35/month. But the fact that you have a steady stream of users would hopefully alleviate that cost via advertisements. The fact that is hardly new activity indicates a large question of whether or not paying this monthly cost is worth it. I certainly would not pay $35 to have membership to this forum board. I would just go to other forum boards or write in my livejournal. To be brutally honest, Southperry is not worth the investment. There are cheaper alternatives to social networking that you could easily rely on and with a healthy influx of users. Southperry is in the face of stagnancy and Fiel has decided to close it down. I would personally assess him keeping up the site as an act of philanthropy if he's really paying off a deficit and not making a personal profit in the entire matter.
