You can't argue with profit.

  I think I'm still at my "collect underpants" phase :) (EDIT: for anyone who doesn't get the reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_(South_Park) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_(South_Park))

  Oh what a poor state the world would be in if everyone believed that. :) Side note: I have no problem with the OP's website.

Despite the -1 rank of the comment, I do appreciate the feedback. The things we build aren't always about what the internet needs, but maybe there's some value in starting small and building it into something great. I'm not trying to dominate the universe of flash game websites - but I I am utterly fascinated by the idea of earning my living and being completely in control of my own destiny. In my background I've worked for a mega-corporation (Nortel Networks, they're like Cisco systems, only bankrupt) and I've worked as a public employee (high school teacher). Nowadays I work for a smaller 40 person company ... but I'm still not my own boss. This is an entirely new concept to me. I can create value and sell it directly and I can do it according to my own rules... I 100% appreciate that this is "just another half assed flash site". I just built it to see if I could. But it made $0.50 on day one and $1.01 on day two. So maybe there's something here. If this does fizzle, at least I'll have learned something. Whatever I do pick up from this experience, I will be able to take to my next project. If this one doesn't "take" then maybe my next one will. Or maybe by sharing the experience with HN we'll all learn something. Maybe I'll make a contact with someone who's similarly minded and we'll team up to make a project that ends up being better than either of us could have done on our own. Who knows? You're 100% right though - i mean it - the internet does not need "yet another crappy flash games site" ... it's a hell of a lot better than a page-park though http://thegames.com/ http://thegames.com/
