Let’s put it straight…. I am considering to totally stop publishing The MSX Games bOX (www.msxgamesbox.com) for various reasons – the major one being the question to know if it really serves somebody?
I have been managing this site for over 7 years now and though it looks there are more and more visitors every year (over 50K in 2004), the feedback and comments I receive are less and less and do not motivate me any way to keep on (except for three of four people who have always backed me up and who will probably recongnise themselves reading this)… so what’s the purpose to keep a site alive when there is barely a thank you and just see people come and leave and nothing more?
I feel internet has become so little personal… I remember the old internet days (that is the previous century) where people filled in my guestbook everyday with nice comments, there were interactions by e-mail etc… that contributed to the fun of developing the site as a pure hobby... nowadays its a little different - whatever new content of site improvements - I have no clue if even somebody out of the 200 visits / day even read a sentence of what I publish!
Anyhow – I am not saying I don’t want to continue but only question myself if there is really any need to continue and invest some of my time delivering content?
Please let me have your thoughts… before I make my decisions.
