Very strange ocean indeed! The years 2001-2004 were the ones with lowest paying ad campaigns in the history of the Internet; a lot of tools available in these days to help webmasters were not available. We managed to get a lot of traffic with zero money in our pockets, but traffic did not come with advertising revenue. In these days, with the stats we had in 2001-2003, we would have made more than enough to get things going smoothly.
But we will figure something out... if we manage to make the website pay for the server cost (we paid hundreds of dollars every month when activity was high), then it would already be a success.
We also took note that a lot of our old visitors switched platform or are now interested in multiple platforms, so the website might go multi-platform. This said, we do not aim at creating a multi-platform bland community like many others, but something with quality content that goes beyond "this game rulez", like these forums used to be.
