Question 7
Question: With all the work to find articles and moderate comments for a site like this, just how much time do you spend each day managing this website? –Snurp
Answer: For the first 6 months of this site I was probably spending on average about 2-hours/day minimum. That was quite difficult too considering I have a wife, kids, and a real job. I have gotten more efficient and cut that time in half to about an hour/day or so. I remember a long time ago, I thought I could run 2-3 sites while working full-time… I was very wrong ;)
Producing a good site truly takes dedication and help from people like you.

How many of those minutes are typically spent on pure laughter?

Actually Alcari I said about an hour or so :) I have all the comments emailed to me so it’s quick to keep up with those. The real time is spent picking an article,writing it, and picking out pictures.
I did spend a lot of time moderating spam, but luckily I have gotten a nice spam filter to take care of the hundreds and hundreds of spam comments.

“”cut that time in half to about an hour/day or so.”"

Hundreds of spam messages? as in bots? or just people spamming “you 5uck”??

Spam bots I’m afraid. If it were just people writing stupidities I would be happy, but it’s hundreds and hundreds of spam bot comments :(
