One of the three would go with it if he wanted, or it were possible. But with two bailing for sure...


Thanks to everyone commenting on this, even though it is a few pages back on "new" and not on the home page. You all rock!


Yes, good to know. They kept things under the EIN until it went unpaid, then they switched to my SSN. That got my attention, of course, and I've learned a lot since then.


Millions of visitors a month, and millions of registered users (not the same set, only a fraction of the visitors in a given month are registered). Freemium model. I'll post another question next Sunday on how to monetize, as now I see that perhaps that should have been the first question. Not that we haven't worked over the issue a million times, but we haven't had fresh perspectives at all.

Getting paid? Hahaha. Not now.


It is because of my 800 credit score that the cards in my name were upped automatically. Too much of a good thing! It is now 590.

Thanks for the inspiration! Just knowing recovery is possible is half of the mental battle. I look forward to making such encouraging words myself at some point in the future.


Very true! I will wait a week and gather those thoughts for a post next Sunday.

Of course, it's not that we haven't thought of things, but how much good time do I want to throw after bad?

But how insular I have been to not think first of posting that question. Thanks!


You may very well be able to sell the company simply for the user base...


Too late for investors I think. And it wasn't so much the wrong business per se, we didn't shift when the market did, and later we didn't give up when we should have.


Thanks for those words. :)


Yeah. Funny thing though, in all my life I've never had a resume, always things found me. It doesn't feel like it will be that way now, but I Aldo understand that I'm having some very strong feelings at the moment. I'm not much of one to hold on to them too long though. perhaps to a fault. I'll be refreshed by new year, but want to burn through all the dark parts now and leave as much behind as I can.


Yes, particularly if you aren't the one doing the financial reports (which stopped by the way, along with bills getting paid, etc., etc).
