Ads aren't going to be worth it for us. We're not a big enough site to make enough money off of ads to be worth the annoyance factor. We'd rather attract more users with the adlessness than make a couple dollars a month on ads -- ONE person who donates for the DI every month would probably be worth more than the ads!

Maybe work on the things that were promised to users WAY Back at the start of 2010, (optional layouts), after you fix up the social groups and what else that needs fixed on the original layout, work on those optional layouts you promised us. I'm probably the only person who even remembers them.This gives you guys something to do while waiting for the ad's to really start bringing money to the site.

Oh yeah, this... um... the truth is we cancelled that. ^^() It turned out to be too much work for not enough benefit and it would have multiplied the effort necessary to make changes to the layouts in the future. And in fact, working on the social groups makes the multiple layouts that much more work -- if I work on the social groups, the other layouts will fall out of sync.

We'll reconsider it if we do a site redesign, since modern web technologies will make the task easier, but it's not a priority.

Have an event dedicated to the NPC's who rarely get any show time. I'm sorry but a lot of the old Taskal War NPC's that are still alive, we barely see anymore. And then there were NPC's introduced in the other war that we never really see.

Also intentional -- our NPC count was getting too high to do meaningful things with and we chose to let some of them fade into the background in order to focus on a smaller set.

The First Step is to get the money to hire artists and possibly a third coder to help out right?

Another coder isn't going to help -- or at least, not another coder we could afford on Trisphee's budget. We've got two competent coders already that are working for ridiculously cheap.
