You somehow think I am a rich MFer, I can barely keep my head up as it is. I haven't been on a vacation for 10 years or more. I am a single dad trying to pay my bills and alimony for my kids.
Server costs have tripled the last year because of the artifcial "power crisis" our government has created. We pay about 8 times more for the power we use to run our servers. I have been working really hard to optimize everything to keep costs down. Less bandwidth, less power usage by optimizing code and testing dedicated hardware for video transcoding. I am trying to rewrite the uploading rules to make everything more clear and better for everybody. This while trying to run my other business and being a father to my kids, doing this by myself.
I am tired, I am so annoyed by the complaining, without coming with solutions. Maybe I should pull the plug...
I have said this before and I will say it again, the fact that you have kept this site up and running for what 20 years is amazing. in that time frame hundreds, if not thousands of sites have shut down. you have accomplished this on your own with very little help at all with a internet beyond loaded with all kinds of porn sites, you have offered up access to the site for free to anyone who wishes to enjoy it. awesome job Diz, I and most others here thank you for your hard work and dedication. to the people who complain, instead of complaining make suggestions give feedback, from my experience here both are welcomed, if you pay attention to what goes on here you would see that, and remember you are not the only member here just because you don't like something doesn't mean that everyone else agrees with you. there are things that people have complained about over and over and over, if you looked at this feedback page you would see that and you would have your questions answered without having to complain at all. things like why does it take so long for my pictures to be posted, that question has been answered over and over and over. read this feedback forum, and if you must complain do it in a respectful manner, I see so many complaints and comments that are completely obnoxious and unnecessary. I think Diz does an awesome job keeping this site going and trying to make everyone happy so give the guy a break! I know I speak for the majority of the members when I say I want WBW to be around for another 20 years so let's be part of the solution not part of the problem.
