The programmers we emply right now aren't being paid near what they are worth. I'd love to be able to pay them industry standard. And pretty much any money we do make will be poured into making the service better.
Part of the problem with all of this is we did not do a good job of communicating the fact that vbspace changed from a local forum install to a cental system so people are upset and feel deceived. Obviously we would NEVER do that on purpose. In hindsight, we should have just closed the vbspace thread when it took the evolution. Because we could not comment on what we were doing otherwise I am confident this would have been stolen from under us.
