Insider, you really are trashing me when you make irresponsible comments about the costs of maintaining a real business site, not Joe. But, from your post you betray a lack of understanding in what it takes to run one. I will not go into it unless you want me to. But, why don't you put together an RFP with all the functional requirements that TokyoJoe's must have, include:

1. Custom Content Development
2. Custom Server Site Work (include programming)
3. Secure e-commerce
4. Moderated Discussion posting thread
5. Server side e-mail notification to a changing and growing membership within minutes if not seconds.
6. Sustaining 200 click within a 5 Sec period of time
7. On avg, handling 30 customer queries a day and growing rapidly.
8. Responding to technical problems anytime during the day.
9. Regular and continued maintenance, including program maintenance.

Now that is not all, we haven't discussed performance projections and risk planning to handle a rapidly growing membership. As well as continued R&D for future enhancements. And we haven't gone into the operational and capital requirments of running a business.

Maybe I am looking at this all wrong, I come from a professional background and mainly deal with corporate types. Maybe I need to look at it with a more flowery approach, were everything is free and people readily give their time and money to other people just because. You are right insider, what am I thinking.

PS There were many days were I heard of lots of people making money on Joe's calls while I ignored other clients and my own portfolio, hacking out code.
