Wow, if I was a advertiser or a stakeholder in some respect, I wouldn't be giving this guy another cent.

Talk about picking up your toys and going home…

What are you talking about?

My guess would be that in recent months the site has been up and down a few times due to money issues and conflicts with site hosts; the site owner announced he was done with the site because it wasn't supporting him monetarily and offered it up for sale (adding that he thinks it can be a money machine in the future); while offering it up for sale and making it seem like (in his own words) he has difficulty committing to projects he was asking for a job. Now it seems that he's getting some investors or something so he may bring it back.

I visit that site often and think it is great. But like the Bean, I wouldn't advertise or invest in it unless there was a change in 'management'.

Why is that?

I have had many trials and hurdles to overcome with my new company, so I can understand his flustration as the site owner of TGN.

And I think that was all it was throwing up his hands and saying someone buy this or I'm just going to pull the plug cause I don't know how to make this all work anymore.

When you have problems with uncooperative host site managers, and a million other things beyond your control you finally get to the point where its just better to say its time to walk away then it is to keep struggling on.

I am sure it was just 6 months or so ago when he had to migrate the entire site to a new server just to keep it open and now it needs to be done again.

Everything in life these days is a million times harder then it should be….

I use both TGN and TMP for press releases, and Zac and Bill have always treated me well. As a small business operator, I understand Zac's frustration, sympathize, and wish both he and TGN well in the future. Further, I NEVER saw any issues that impeded on my willingness to use Zac's site as a venue. Small companies need multiple friendly sites such as these two, so the loss will be sorely felt.
