At this stage in the development of the web site I need to ask a few questions. Is this web site worth the development money and time invested? I've recently started a web development company to fund me and this site a little more, however the large problem being I have less time. I have been e-mailing around programming communities hoping to lighten the load on myself time wise (and experience wise) and I would like to ask you, as fellow members to help lighten the load money wise.

I believe this would work by increasing useage of the web site at the same time, giving us more users willing to help develop the site into something extremely exciting!

On that side of thinking, I myself am an artist. So throughout all this work, I'm still trying to learn to draw, and animate. I personally feel that this community has played a huge role in my development as an artist throughout the years and I would love to see it play that role for more to come - but I feel I need to focus more on my art. My ability to develop the site is limited to a month (solid 18/7 with a few days off =p) every summer currently. I would like to stress that if donnations are given, the actual development of the site may not increase largely until we find a programming team. It occurred to be recently that this perhaps may be our web sites downfall.

The website is currently costing £260 per year to run, which allows us with a large enough server to develop and test the site. Even partial help from the community would go a long way (small donations per month/year from each member would cover most of the cost), and I would like to know what your thoughts are, if you have any questions and whether you feel this is a site worth supporting? Please be honest in your opinions.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Michael Lundie [Lead Admin]

PS: ArtGate is the propsed new name and development plan for MCDGS Networks as it is now called. Feel free to ask any questions regarding this also.

I'm also interested in using a mod for our blog system called 'Media Manager'. This may proove a good step towards the sketch blog program we are aiming for. The mod is very buggy, but it is superb. It will be worth investing time in to continue developing where it was left off. This will be due to start development mid December.

Have a look if your interested:

As always though, I have a plan! I'll hopefully have us back up and running tomorrow. For those that use photobucket to display images, these will still work fine! I'll keep everyone posted. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Take care.

A few terms you might see floating around are DoaM, which stands for Death of a Metaphor and is the current individual project I'm currently working on. I'm using my site Ubertango.com which is hosted kindly by MCDGS, as a development goto point as well as a personal gallery. For a better understanding, I shall be explaining in more depth in the forums. So any questions are welcome there.

Another is Ubertango, which is a random word I've used for the site and previous projects that you may well remember. What this means is, there is a section on the portal dedicated to ubertango which can be found here which is currently under construction by myself, additional help by Mongoose.

There is also a section on the forum dedicated to the Ubertango/DoaM project, and we would appreciate anyone to come by and say 'ello. Another feature is the Ubertango Usergroup which is available to you, and this will in theory allow you to receive nice things (previews of artwork, comics, media and up to date info on DoaM) in times to come. So to all of you, I wish you well and hope to see you around the forums,

Aci out~]]> http://www.mcdgsnetworks.co.uk/developmentPortal/viewtopic.php?t=243
