A Question....

[Mad Russian]

I too sometimes wonder where JimvK is, I mailed him a few months ago but haven't yet had a reply. Okay it might have got lost in cyberspace, I dunno so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt..
For the record I said hello and asked him what his ultimate aims and ambitions were for Blitz, and whether he was Big Boss or in partnership with others, and whether he ran it purely as a hobby or to make money from, and whether he was happy with current membership numbers or whether he wanted to see it double or triple etc..
I also told him I'd got a few ideas to make Blitz even bigger and more successful than it already is, but as I said, no reply..
Nothing is guaranteed to alienate people more than not getting a reply, so maybe Jim should remove his mail address from the site, I mean if he's going to be absent for long periods it makes no sense having it on display does it?

Jim's situation is different than most POS. He has some pretty heavy duty real life responsibilities. So, I'm sure the kinds of emails you said you sent he would expect SG and RD to handle. They would be the ones I think you should be approaching for your ideas to grow the membership here.

As for the site making money SG has repeatedly said this site is a volunteer site. They don't charge for you to be a member. It only makes whatever moneys are donated to the site by the members who appreciate the services they get here.

How often should the owner of the site expect to have to deal with any issues? Other than oversee how things are going. I would think his email the way SG describes it here, as being checked regularly, would work just fine.

If I were you I would take the projects you describe to either RD or SG and see if they can't help you with them. Maybe not. They might not fit the direction the site is going. But I would think they could at least let you know if they fit the concept here.

Good Hunting.
