Dot Com Dilemmas.
I'm looking at starting up an entirely new web site...as in, my own ".com" outside theOtaku.com's network. If only registering a domain wasn't so expensive with my ISP ($85 registration fee and $12.50 monthly management fee -- isn't that insane?)
Oh well. Maybe I can come up with the cash, since I'm pretty motivated to do this new project.
I tend to consider these ideas, even long-held ideas, and think "no, I have to stop myself because I can't stretch myself too thin".
But really, I think I've been too unwilling to be a bit more flexible in the way I operate things. With OtakuBoards for example, Desbreko did an amazing job with totally organizing our entire avatar library. And Charles has always done a good job with staff management.
There's no reason why these types of roles can't be further extended. Afterall, we now have moderators who essentially operate our Fan Art section on a day-to-day basis. If this concept can be extended further (via OB), it'll free up my time enough to devote myself to theOtaku.com and N-Sider and my own new project.
So, who knows. Maybe I'll get there.
Karmi: It's good that OB has plenty of loyal fans...yes. ^_^;
PT: Ohh yes. Actually, I hope you come online soon, I have something funky to show you. ~_^
Mimmi: Have you been eating too many waffles lately, Mimmi-chan? ^_^; You're right though, there are plenty of opportunities out there.
Baron-san: Mm, well, the domain isn't registered yet or anything. So I want to wait 'till that's taken care of. After that, I'll tell you. ~_^
DDG: You're right, it is insane. But a solution presented itself yesterday (which I'll talk about later), so it should be no problem. I think it's mostly costly because it goes through my ISP and they (Telstra) make everything expensive. V_V;
Tony/Semji-kins: I think it's just the ISP I'm with. The big problem with registration is also the fact that I don't have a credit card or anything. And on the Internet (especially internationally), that makes things difficult. But it's sorted out now, luckily.
Baron: Well, that's sort of what I'm doing. The only concern I had with that was that I really wanted to do something totally seperate from theOtaku. But really, very few people here know Velegant subscriber sites by name, you know? So I don't think it's much of a problem (not that I want to stop visitors here from going there, I just mean that I want to emphasize that it isn't related to my work here).
