The time has come when I had to decide whether updating the database or close the site. This system has been working alone for like 6 months already. Nobody was moderating, and nobody was adding items.

I am quite proud of all the automated features, but I am not so proud of the kind of visitors this attracted. The trade center has been widely spammed with useless offers, and I guess mailboxes too. 84% of the mails are marked as unread, and 68% of the users have logged in just the first time.

Not to mention the "contact us" form. I have been receiving like 30 mails/day that were completely dumb, like "how do I register here", or "how can I be administrator", and my favorite "can I have the scripts you use?".

Anyways, I want to thank every single visitor, even the abusers, because you taught me lots of lessons. My experience running this server is a very precious gem that will help me in future projects, and I am grateful for it.

I also want to thank all the translators, who made the dream come true, and became friends. I owe you one, dudes. Or two.

Thanks to all those who clicked the advertisements, that almost paid the hosting costs. Thanks to Hostalia Internet for the service provided. Thanks to my sisters for being proud of me. Thanks to my cat for not caring at all.

At last, I want to thank Cipsoft for supporting this site and for keeping it alive. Being a "supported fansite" not only kept the visits coming, but helped offering better content and item descriptions. It was an honor to work with you, lady Manina.

So, farewell everybody, keep trading!
