Ha ha - I remember your reverse marriage proposal comment from the original thread. Congratulations :)

I'm glad I read the comments. I had the same knee-jerk reaction as above. Glad to know I'm still safe :)

Sounds fair. I'm glad my recent 'weekend project' got through. I've implemented the majority of the feedback I've gotten and like my site a lot more now. What's more is my "I made $1" multiplied to the point where it paid for the domain an

I really love SO. The thing that really got me started using it was the article I read (on here) about a guy who got headhunted for a job interview at Google off the back of his stack overflow score. I thought - holy geez, I'd better get wo

I'd worry that it also eliminates the opportunity to have those tremendous back and forth type discussions where people help each other and make incremental improvements to the idea they're working on. That's a lot more rare than two peopl

Logo changed. I just dropped the bevel as advised. Better? Ratings and comments "incoming" - on the list. There's a lot of feedback on here so It's going to take me a few days to prioritize everything. Facebook comments are quick though.

I'm on my third day of traffic so far. Waiting for analytics to arrive. I had about 50 visitors yesterday and think I might be approaching 1000 for today :) I've upgraded to adding TAGS & Categories for links - but am still stuck with

Thanks. In terms of everything else, I admit it's poor. I cranked it out quickly in fireworks and agree. I like the colors - but the bevel is low quality. I'll have to make an effort on the logo in round 2. :)

yikes! thanks for this comment. I'd actually just announced the earnings (as I wanted to share) - but my ignorance of their policy in this respect has given way to caution. I've deleted the post where I say the exact $ value of the earning

OH MY GOD! :D thank you so much :)! I mean that. I've been working all day and have just uploaded a whack of improvements - categories now implemented - adsense moved around (hopefully) optimized a bit for clickyness I've actually taken so

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 domina

Thank you very much! I hadn't taken the time to think about load times... but you're absolutely right. I'm going to put it on the list as one of my priorities. I think improving / creating a navigation system where players can find a gam

Yeah - driving traffic via sponsored games would be in the long term plan. I'm still not certain if the traffic is sustainable. After all, after friends and family finish checking it out, who do I have left? Everything gets a 'blip' at th

Oh no! I definitely want to look into making sure that this one is good enough before I look to make a second. I do have a million more projects I'd like to take on - but each of them has to play out to their maximum potential before I sw

Oh no! I realize that... but you're offering him the knowledge, confidence and support he needs to be able to make a lasting and positive change in his life. If he's on £17k/pa and you're billing out £350 a day, then he only has to work 50

I love both the tool in general and the "couldn't sleep so i coded" sentiment. I had the same burst two nights ago when I made http://fstr.net (not nearly as cool as jmockups, but not bad for an evening's work). Kudos to you! What's mor

Really sorry about this. I wrote a very long description of what I was trying to do for the site (built between 7pm and 3am last night). Unfortunately, it seems that whole descriptive comment doesn't exist or didn't get saved. This particu
