Time to move on

Swerve - the site is self-sustaining on ad revenue alone and even turns a small profit for me at the end of the month.

That's good to hear Paul. I feel better knowing that your maintenance and contributions bear some small award. Even though I understand how it can still be a deficit if those abilities could be applied elsewhere.

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]

I was thinking that profit could have been an additional reason to why he wanted to stop running SP. If SP made him six figures then there really is no reason to stop running the site. But if SP was draining him of any funds then that would be a personal sacrifice and he should determine what he wants to do when he reaches that point. Again he always has the right to decide when to call it quits. That's not being selfish, that's his right. I was simply expressing my own opinion in retaliation to the other people feeling that Fiel was being "greedy." I did not share a similar sentiment and I was simply expressing my side from a different angle.

I've been privy to the same exact questions such as Fiel. "What am I still doing here?" "Am I gaining anything by doing this?" "Shouldn't I be thinking more about my future?" I've been thinking about this question for months. I was simply at a point where there was nothing unique I was reading from this board. At the same time, the things I wrote were not being fully understood. I won't disclose the answer that I found. But it doesn't require me from stopping what I've been doing all along. For Fiel, he may have found a different answer.
