Youmeo, the new leaf.

[Janczyk]

I can't see it myself but hey, you never know.

It has to make around 200,000 a year, just to cover staff, about.
It then has to make around say 25,000 a year for economics, maybe more.
It then has to cover equipment/software/hardware etc around 10-15,000 depending.

There's extra costs on top of that but that's the basis.

That's 240,000 a year making no profit.

400,000 people of which I'd say less than half are active, let's call it 200,000 though.

Of that 200,000 that are classed as active, each one of them has to click a Google advert at least once - even then, the average adsense is like 12cents or something for a big site? So 200,000 / 6p = how many times users would have to click it.

That seems their only source of income, unless it's government funded.

No.. no it isn't.. look at the date when it was released :rolleyes:

The code is 6 months old, when I uploaded it is a different story. I don't lie.

Which has had a decent media coverage and does have a good potential, yes.

Why am i even sticking up for these guys !?!?!

But yet you said you didn't use $dongs, or $dongues, or whatever the **** it is, but yet in your code.. it seems you do, and have done so in the past?

So instead of saying you don't use "comical" variable names, you should have said.. I don't anymore..

Yeah well same thing to me.

Why is there a logout button (as well as various other logged-in features) on the homepage when I'm not even logged in?

Oh, wait. Just another bug on Youmeo. I'd send in n email, but they probably get forwarded to the 'Don't give a crap' folder. Seeming as nothing has been fixed on the site.

The thing shouldn't even be released yet; there's still various problems, usually something to do with PHP. To be honest it just seems as if you wanted to get the site release - skipping all the important parts.

As I said, we're working on a whole new site with Nick's coding. That way everything should be cleaner and simpler. Rather than editing the current site and wasting our time, we've completely redone everything. This way you guys won't have anything to complain about in the future. For now the site will sit being developed by our other coders while the BETA is being created. We will all just have to put up with this until we have completed the BETA.

Like I've said numerous times, we'd love to be able to make the site bug free in a week like you all say is possible but it's just not. First of all we can't close the site to work on it so every page has to be duplicated then worked on in private then uploaded once done. This normally causes so much extra work that in the end the edits you made seem worthless.

Trust me when I say that the new Youmeo is a million times better than the old. This time around we have no deadlines therefore it won't be rushed. We also have Nick and myself working as a team just across from each other therefore we can discuss just about everything that is happening. No longer will we have to communicate to our coders via MSN or email which often causes problems and set backs.

I wouldn't have gotten Calum to hire Nick if I was wanting to just sit back and watch the site as it is. You got to realise that Youmeo is very different from your average site you'll find on here. It has the media coverage and we have to be careful in what we do. To the media a broken site is still a site, however if we close it for weeks they it's no longer news.

So you can either have a broken site that's popular for the time being or a closed site that loses all coverage and activeness. Therefore getting hits and pageviews back will be a nightmare after Calum has spent years building it up.

Just be aware that we work constantly on this project, I had a half day yesterday as I had family visiting. That's all the time I've actually been out of the office other than to sleep this week - so we're working our behinds off to make our users happy.
