The sites future in Jeapordy

Thier are new circumstances popping up on this site all the time.

Here is the main problem with this site

The real maker of this site Is alex P he does all the programming- Alex P does not have time for this site. He likes this site but  his time is money.

I love this site as well with the littl time I have. Dan has little time as well.

Alex can only work on the site if it some how made him money. Thier was talk of making a publishing feature on this site if you wanted to print books or even possibly an Ipod game to download- big what ifs. Big projects requiring a lot of Alex's time. -but a possible way to make a little money

NCPolice555 has the knowledge of making ipod games - I can't find NcPolice I wanted an interview with him as well.- which he never returned (chill out JJJ you'll get your interview)

There is a new Documentry being made on interactive fiction www.getlamp.com  Demian Katz who I got a fun interview with told me about it tonight in an email. Demian is the creator of www.gamebooks.org which was shown in issue one.

I'll be taking some website classes in the fall so maybe I can contribute to this site after all. - maybe I need to know more stuff. I should of been an( March) and Alex's 7 o clock scotch at 8 but I had innadequate notification. I will be there this week however.

Also flesh n blood JJJ beats information out of me - I encourage you to accept information or ideas on the next mega zine- Solostrike has a ton of them - I do hope to have all the information we need for the next one by mid July so we can have a summer issue then a fall issue after wards. 

If this site becomes automated what am I gonna tell all the hot ladies I do?  "I use to be part of an elaborate choose your adventure site-(  please  c'mon'  that's not going to win them over. )"

Please fix the mysterious bug that keeps me from not posting on the news an updates - check out that documentry and keep hope alive.

How have I let you down - I'm supposed to be coming up with a comic book game- Dan said he'd help as soon as I started throwing him ideas- I haven't thrown him anything. I was also supposed to make a my space account for this site  to pick up strangers and bring em over - Still failing. What am I doing now I emailed the documentry guys about getting an interview and thinking about hiring my cousin to help me work on the next zine-

I looked at the documentary website. Looks like it could be good :)

I hope things work out with the site. Even if it just continues along as it currently does, I mean, people can make perfectly good games with the editors as they are. (Though new features are always liked) I understand about time = money. Hobbies are fun, but people still need to work. It would be good if the site somehow made money, to support itself. Not sure how that would be done though. What about an advertising page that could be visited on this site, where authors of gamebooks and interactive fiction could advertise their books/games for a small fee? Authors are always looking for more ways to attract an audience's attention, and lots of new gamebooks seem to be getting published this year.

This is very sad... this site is so old that it does not deserve to be thrown away, so if it does become automated, it must rely on the users of the site to moderate itself... so if that is the case, then that is what we will do, and about alex being away... well, choco, if u learn some vb.net you could be the programmer... or debugger if you just want to fix the bugs on the site... hopefully tho, we can at least get alex back to just talk to him, he doesnt have to fix all the problems when he is online, he can just hang out like we all do!

Well, if you can keep the site going until I'm about eighteen and my parents aren't suspicious about me doing things over the internet anymore, than I'll donate like five hundred Australian dollars (which converts to about $418 USD) to keep the site going. I'll try to pay all of Alex's bills. If you (or somebody) learn the programming, and I pay on behalf of Alex, it'll be easy. But that'll be in four years.

It's an amazing site though, I'd hate to see it go downhill.

8 oclock eastern standard time- thank you october for that kind thought- I was hoping instead of everbody losing money  maybe for some kind of choose your own adventure revolution where, it suddenly becomes the newest fad to play and write choose your own adventure games.  Like pogs (milkcapps) but not as lame or as quikly dieing as pogs. I loved choose your own adventure books as a kid because they made easy book reports- six pages and I was done.

We don't have these "Pogs" over in Australia, and I'm guessing not Britain either, so that'd be a lot gone. I dunno, try advertising in the newspaper or something. Seriously, I was considering becoming an English teacher just so I could introduce the students to the website (maybe a limit on the forums or something unless they go on in their own time at home), but then again, that'd be ten years later (sorry, I can't think, the radio's blaring out an advertisement for a variety show with the catch line "gave it the good kick in the pants it needed", so it's hard to concentrate). Seriously, if you can keep this site going for another four or five years (about four and a half), I'll be able to try and do something really big with it. And it wouldn't be losing money, after all, I would know where it went. And it wouldn't be my money anymore, I would have given it to the continuation of the site.

Well, I think making a MySpace page for the site would be an easy and effective way of getting random people to join. If everyone's to busy I'd be more than happy to make one.

By the way, uh, wow, didn't know October was 14. I've been imagining him as some old guy so uh,wow, 14.

Scary.

Hey, since it's not over here, someone tape Jeopardy and send it to me, thanks.

come on now choco!  There's no reason to be sad!  I have more time than ever, there are fantastic stories on the site (FINALLY!) and great members.  You haven't let anybody down - hell this site's existed without us for years!  lol.  I hope everyone's looking forward to the changes about to happen to the site.  3j, you'll be king around here!
