I wouldn’t presume to speak for ET, but I don’t think it’s the case that bandwidth and hosting costs scale up 1:1 with new users. There’s a new host, it’s already paid for; the only incremental cost is maintenance on the hardware and bandwidth, so far as I know.
The issue is that ET would probably very much like to continue working on FWZ, but without some form of reasonably steady income, that can’t happen. I don’t think it’s the case that *more* is needed, just a *more steady* stream, if you catch the difference. ET can obviously speak for himself if need be, that’s just the way I see it.
ETA: I’ve run a business though, and I know from that that no matter what you do, there’s always somebody who knows how to do it better. Everybody is entitled to an opinion of course, but Christ, it’s bleeding obvious there’s some people here who’ve never had to wonder if their next paycheque would be enough to cover rent, never mind silly incidentals like “food”. Running your own small business is _very_ different from _any_ job where somebody else is giving you some guarantee of hours = money, even if that job sucks and the money is low. If you’ve never done it, try it some time. Most fun and most stressful 2.5 years of my life. And my business was making money. Usually. kraigu edited this message on 01/25/2010 10:59AM |
