Hi there,

I do remember something of it, especially regarding dolls. I'm kind of
hoping that we might of |(hopefully)moved on from that sort backward
nihilism.

I think that I better mention just in case that I was not thrown off the
server. It was just that it was getting too many hits and increasing the
cost for all concerned on the server; it was not fair that everyone else had
to collectively pay for 'NFG'. Now i'm stuck with paying a rather large
sum - the influx came out of nowhere. It was very scary watching the money
(not that i have any) fly into oblivion, so now I am in debt. I'm stuck with
the question of actually making it a commercial venture for it to
survive...which for some is an easy answer like 'Yes'.

But it begs the question that - when a piece of work does get popular and
the bandwidth rises beyond any expectations, how do you cope with it? What
is one to do? Yes, it is great that the site is actually being seen beyond
an already converted audience, receiving more visitors than say the tate
collection in its gallery in one day, but can one afford it?

Is it best to to keep it underground?
Or do you make it a commercial venture & get some cash for it via promotions
of other similar sites, so to maintain payments for bandwidth charges?
