Thanks, folks …
Hi all:
Since Monday when I said I’d run out of gas, nine people have donated $340.05 in amounts varying from $2.00 to $100.
Thanks.
The guys at Frostwire will be there, as always, and I’m waiting to hear back from TekSavvy. But they’ve always been in p2pnet’s corner and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that nothing has changed there either.
Yesterday I was contacted by an advertising company which looks as though it might be a fit with p2pnet. I’ll be speaking with them a little later and I’ll let you know how it works out. You never know. And I’ve been shaking the trees in other areas.
Trying to scam people
On Monday I said I’d had one nasty email. Basically, it accused me of trying to scam people by pretending to close down when really, I’m raking it in from donations. I’ve had a couple more since then saying pretty much the same.
Yes, when my sponsor and two major advertisers pulled out, I rang the alarm bell. Then soon afterward I said I’d probably be staying up after all. That was because I thought I’d been able to arrange a second mortgage. But it fell through and now I’m back where I started in terms of having (no) money available.
However, I want to make it clear that thanks to Cliff Haerden, my new host who runs multibox.be over in Belgium, whatever else happens, or doesn’t happen, the site will stay online so existing content will still be available, with or without ads.
And I still haven’t given up.
p2pnet Mark II
Even if I’m not posting, there are still quite a few emails to answer.
For example, I’ve said a couple of times I’ve had a project in mind which would be a kind of p2pnet Mark II and someone asked why I haven’t gone into detail.
I’d love to share it and get readers involved, and it’s not you guys who are stopping me.
Honestly, I’m afraid one or more of the empty eyed corporate sharks with lots of money and no morals will chomp it up. But if I can figure out a way, I’ll post on it.
How does that song go? Doop, doop, doop, doop, Staying Alive, staying alive …
Heh
Cheers! And all the best …
Jon
