heavenlywild: Hey guys, yes, I have asked Nate to pull down the site for now. The reasons are due to time and financial constraints. It's been such a fun ride sharing bargains and freebies for everyone to benefit from.

Unfortunately we are in a tough market and many companies want something for nothing. I have gone down the advertising avenue however without much luck. There is this perception out there where "everything on the internet should be free". Also, Google managed to KO my Adsense account because of "suspicious clicking" - frankly, a lot of BS. Someone must've decided it was a joke to click on them continuously.

The money generated did not equate to the amount of time I have personally put in. Basically I did it for the love.

However, with the help of Geekzone members, perhaps we could relaunch it with the help of others like yourselves. It's surprising how much effort it takes to run a website. I don't mind not making any money... it's the time.

Your thoughts guys?

heavenlywild: ^So true. I can totally understand why you think ad blockers are evil (not in your words though).

I would love to go full time but it's just not possible. Even part-time is impossible.

If anyone would be interested being involved (unpaid) in a possible future re-launch, please let me know. Would be nice to have a small, dedicated team.

I would certainly be interested.

networkn: I'd love to be involved but unfortunately I have no time myself. Best website of 2010 in my opinion. I understand the reasoning and hopefully you can find some like minded individuals to assist.
