Going to pick up new tires, then see about getting financial control of the site back, then review options.

@cabal The biggest thing we need is a bit of proper add space to fund the site, and a revised homepage... Im not a genious in the slightest, but this seems the most obvious step

@purplephish20 The kind of server it takes to run RDN costs between $80 and $100 a month, the average payout from any web-ad campaign is consistently much lower than that, and that's without RDN's probably above-average quantity of ad-blockers and people accessing the site through clients that won't ever see the ads.

@ceruleanspark then.... what happens at the moment?

@purplephish20 Purple Tinker owns a server that she uses for multiple projects, which she previously hosted RDN "on the side", so the actual expense of running RDN was neglible as she was paying the bill anyway.
-
@ceruleanspark ok then... what do we do?...

@purplephish20 Discussions are currently ongoing on that subject. The most important obstacle to overcome is getting the RDN data from Tinkers machine. Once we've made arrangements to get that, we can work together to solve the hosting issue.
-
@ceruleanspark will it be very difficult to get that data? Sounds kind of tricky. ...

@pony Miss Tinker has been nothing but forthcoming when it came to releasing the data to other projects she was hosting. (For instance, the Bronycon site itself). Once Cabal can get ahold of her it should be no issue at all. It's literally two files. (or to be accurate, an archive and a file)
-
@ceruleanspark ah excellent. that's very big of her.

@ceruleanspark with regards to the Glow Twilight BB.. please let me know at your convenience when you decide whether you can spare her and, if so, how you'd like to proceed, whether by ebay or whatever.

@luna4life We don't have any ads at this moment.
-
@ceruleanspark I'd click RDN's ads frequently if I knew there were a need.
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 15:56:41 UTC from web-
@pony That gets you banned from ad serving networks.
-
@ceruleanspark aw! well then, daily i guess. Or however frequent isn't too frequent

@pony Googles AI for detecting click fraud borders on sentience, so...ever.
