UFC Fight Night: Smith vs. Clark

@Free in all seriousness I wouldn't buy it for a number of reasons. Foremostly because it would be too much of a headache to run and there's too many people to deal with. And I'd have to pay Greg to maintain it. And whatever return I'd make wouldn't be worth time invested. No real volume.

It could be a lot better than it is, and that's because like the majority of people running busineses Greg is an excellent builder ( and admin/mod) and not so great at business. Different skills. I have met hundreds of such people in my life. Great at the practical, terrible at the abstract.

I know this because Tap's Alexa rank is god-awful especially considering its age. You can look it up if you don't believe me. Even Sherdog has better ranking and it's a pile of **** compared to this site. If Greg wants this site to experience real growth he needs to bring in better heads which I have no doubt he will never do due to obstinacy and overvaluation of his own abilities.

Probably someone will create a new site modeled from Tap with a better head for business and Tap will kind of become the myspace of whatever sites like this are. That's my best guess, and probably what the future looks like.

It is, yes.

Tap needed an app five years ago. That should be the second  priority. The first is better infrastructure to handle increased traffic.

@Free absolutely none. Not one. None at all. And God willing, I will never have to.

And that means absolutely nothing whatsoever. More importantly. why would I bother? I can get a better return from one trade than Greg makes in six months of busting his arse running this site god knows how many hours per day. I bet on people who do the stuff. I don't do the stuff. It's not my job to do the stuff. It's my job to evaluate the probability of success, in the market, of people who do stuff. And I'm very good at it.

I'm glad there are Gregs in the world because if there were only people like me in it nothing would ever get created, built or done. We are a sort of  disease, really. We contribute almost nothing in any meaningful way to commerce in general ( apart from capital, I suppose which has some role in the creation of stuff) and profit more from the work of others who do without having really...done, anything. I am...how can I put this; totally unnecessary...essentially useless, whereas Greg is essential. Necessary. If people like Greg are ships, people like me are the barnacles on their hulls.

If you really want to know, it makes no difference to me whether this site stays on its current plateau or not. It's fine the way it is, and I have enjoyed being here. It is a VERY good site. If I were going to continue to participate here after this year, and nothing ever changed I would still consider it a great site. It is not as entertaining as it once was, because the more recent clientele signups are mostly dull. boring. non-creative dittoheads. But it's still better than anything else going.

I will reiterate; Greg is an excellent builder, moderator, and admin, but he is not a good businessman. He either does not know where to go next, or is happy with the status quo.  That is true of most people who are good at building. That's why they hire other people to take care of such things for them, and that's what Greg needs to do if he wants to expand his business. Maybe he doesn't, and that's fine too. I don't know where he's at in life. If he's happy with things that's all that matters. Not everything is about wealth. At this point I could probably never work an honest day again fairly comfortably but I'm still going back to study next year, because it isn't about money. You have to invest in yourself, too.
