Thanks for asking. It's early days...
We set the bench really low at the start. We said we would open the champagne if even one person registered. Maybe that was a bit too low; with the rate we have had here we would now be completely drunk!
It would be really nice if more new people joined this site. We had a trickle to begin with but this has slowed down now that the old core of people seem to be already here. So good on you who have emailed "rabbits friends and relations" inviting them over.
In terms of revenue, we only added Google ads because we thought we might as well get something. Suprisingly this has done much better than we thought, but to be honest, we are not really looking at this site as a main source of income. We already have our hosting capability, our clients within iPages.biz and all that is needed here is programming time to progress this site, which we will be able to devote more of this in a few months time. The forum isn't the direction we thought of taking this place, but seemed the best thing to do at the time because the code was available, you were all crying out for one, and not a lot of changes were needed to get it going.
In short, this site has far exceeded our expectations and we don't need to make a lot of money to keep it running. However, we really appreciate those who do their part by using Google's ad facilities shown here!
We have loads of future plans but can't share much before we are ready to roll because as I am sure you are aware we have competition in this space.
