Why do I bother?

  I sometimes wonder why I bother at all.  Every time I've said we are just a day or two away from making this site live, I have been scuppered by one huge problem or another.

   

  It seemed like we were all set to go a few weeks back and I told everyone to say goodbye to the old site once and for all.  Then we discovered a huge problem in the membership system which would not allow anyone to log in unless they had a valid subscription.

   

  I protested to the developers and said that the vast majority of our members are on our free membership level and we can't force them to start subscriptions.  I was told I would have to create a new subscription for $0.00 and get the programmers to automatically assign all Basic members to it, just so they could log in.

   

  That job is still ongoing as I speak.  And so, it is now almost April and we are still on the starting blocks.  You have no idea how upset I am about this and about the sheer amount of time it's taken to get this far.

   

  Many times over the last few months, I have thought seriously about just walking away from this altogether instead of throwing good money after bad - money we just can't afford.

   

  Maybe I should just concentrate on Frock Magazine and leave it at that.  Perhaps that's what the gods want me to do.

   

  Or maybe I should just give up altogether and get a job on the bins.
