Moment of Silence
I thought that we could all share just a moment of silence for the closing of jason pevear's web site. I loved that site.

He's not poor, but only 4 people donated to help him run it and apparently his new vocation requires a lot of time. I think that's fair since we've all be downloading kick ass high quality vids from his site for free for a while now.

Yeah, it's amazing how much $1 dollar a month would have kepth the site alive. I averaged about 2,000 visitors a day and approximately 100 new visitors a day. On top of that, the bandwidth usage was rediculous. The worst I had was over 200 GB in one month cycle. That's not including the 100GB I pay for, so essentially it was 300 GB of stuff downloaded in one month. And at 50 cents a MB, it was tuff to reason with why I was doing this.paulaitchison wrote:i donated, i assumed most people would through a couple of bucks that way, turns out they didntc_tietze wrote:He's not poor, but only 4 people donated to help him run it and apparently his new vocation requires a lot of time.

It was fine in the beginning but the site got too big, too fast. Plus, I took an 8,000$ pay cut with this job so the extra money isn't there for this website that was costing 150-300$ a month to run.
Additionally, I just dropped 1,000$ on a new bed and paid off my computer 1400$. Then I bought Angie a 600$ band for her grandmothers engagement ring that she loves. I figure I spent enough on that site and def. dont have the time to maintain it. Shit, Iused to make 40 posts a day here, now Im lucky if I get 3 a week.
Anyway, thanks guys and remember to vote for c_tieze!
