Hey guys,
Reason for why I didn't update is because there actually isn't anything to update. I was going to update when I had news but I guess I should just post anyways.
I haven't seen the designer since about 2 days ago, guess he's pretty busy with college, but when I last spoke to him (2 days ago), he told me he's really close to getting it done.
To make things clear with everyone, since I don't think everyone's on the same page, Rob (designer) is around 16~17 in college, he's by no means a professional webdesigner by occupation but he's doing this for us and he has experience in this area as he does freelance webdesigning jobs.
Also, he's hosting us for free on his server and doing this for us free of charge as well. That's why when I mentioned to give him more time for his other paid jobs, it's because he's doing it for us out of goodwill.
I've shopped around designers,both local and online to ask for prices, and they gave crazy high prices that our donations collected can't be enough to afford both server,domain and labour fees + manga script viewer etc. So for Rob to be doing this for us, I'm really grateful.
Of course, when we were beginning and I haven't met Rob yet, (Originally had another coder and webdesigner to work for us) we were open for donations as we were supposed to pay our previous hired designers for their work. But as time passed, they couldn't produce anything so we moved onto Rob, that's why the process seems to be a little too long.
The donations collected by our bankholder, Latosha is still with us but when I last spoke to her, we agreed to return the donations back to the kind donators as we actually aren't needed to pay for anything. So we didn't want to pocket the donations for ourselves.
I hope this will shed some light on our matter, I didn't want there to be any misunderstandings on where the donations were going, what the designer is doing and why he isn't getting it done, etc.
On a side note,
When the time comes, I plan to step down from the position of co-admin and pass it onto the other admins (Latosha and Sara). And will look into promoting Aznasim into a co-admin/global mod.
I've regrettably come to that decision after some time as I felt like I wasn't able to contribute as much as I would've thought 1 month ago when I still had a job and things were less hectic for me.
Also, with time, I just lost the interest for a bit, and I will be travelling abroad when I have worked and saved up enough.
I will leave the site in the capable hands of the rest of the mutiny members and some others when the site is up.
I did promise a site and a site is what I'll be giving to you guys so I don't intend to leave until the site is up.
Cheers,
VLING
