"I've got PMS and a gun. Any questions?"
I'VE BITTEN OFF MORE THAN WHAT I COULD CHEW.
*Groans* I know there have been so many visitors to my FRUITZ site who says I should move off geocities, but really, I've tried to look, but who knew that so many supposedly "free" hosting services have so many hidden fees. It's around $60 - $70 US dollars a year, just to have a damned domain, since the actually free hosting services are so bloody crap, like geoshitties is being right now. You could only get into my site half the time. Damnit.
Talking about sites, I know people have also been complaining about the lack of updates and translations and stuff. Really. Try keeping up with your own site, when your partner doesn't even DO her part for it, which is translating. And the other person who was so kindly to help us before is too busy now, due to her own work. So damn. And since my own translating skills are shit, all I could manage would be summaries, which most visitors would probably already know about. There are so many other sites doing translations as well, it's practically pointless for US to continue on with ours. *Frowns* Those people could just go and find those translations for themselves.
As much as I want to keep the site going and all, I could almost start crying everytime I read through the comments in the guestbook find the same sort of remarks. "Please get more translations done"(Don't look at me, I don't do them, and the person who is supposed to never gets around to doing any),
"Please update more" (Well, honey, I couldn't update if there's nothing to update on, could I?),
"Please get your links fixed" (Which I don't really understand, but is probably due to that fact that the visitors don't understand how I sort the links)
*Rolls eyes* I mean, if they're so desperate for translations, they could just go to the Fruits Basket Mailing List and find them for themselves. Jeez.
NOW I realise why so many sites close down after such a short time... At first I thought "Hey, since there are so little amount of Fruba sites on the net, I could make one myself!". Who would've ever thought that my little site could've gotten so much response? I mean, at first it was flattering and all, then it was overbearing. The same comments that I read everytime I go to check made me want to go and fix them all, just to make my visitors think this site was worth going to. I thought it was worth going to all the trouble to look for a new host, get more translations done, update more... just to know that it paid off in the end and that my visitors find what they're looking for.
But, alas, the little thing called reality has to slip in from time to time, and ruin my schedule to work on my site. I am, afterall, only a 14-year-old webmistress, who has to go to school, do my homework, keep my site going, and still have a damned LIFE.
Do you think I've made myself clear? Maybe not.
