    Re: Stop The "feeds"! I'm Begging!

    A belated word in support of JK's plea. And one more "bless you" Fred for the prompt action.

    There is a lesson here. There is a tendency for successful institutions to try and expand that success by ceaseless "innovation". It always ends up destroying the original basis for success. iTulip: Please stop dorking around trying to "improve" yourself. The forum has been getting more complex, bloated, slower, and unnavigable by the month. As tempting as the call to "change" may be, it is merely an invitation to change what made you successful to begin with.

    K.I.S.S.

        That was when iTulip.com was a web site. As of April 2006, iTulip, Inc. is a Mass. S corp. and it isn't going anywhere.

        Thanks for everyone's input. One suggestion we hear loud and clear: keep it simple.

          Eric,

          I have two cats and like they, I am curious, hopefully as opposed to nosey.

          I have zero knowledge about what is involved to run something like iTulip.

          If it is not a trade secret or too personal a question, what all does it take to run iTulip?

          I guess there is an office with a bunch of computers in it.

          How many people does it take to keep the site going?

          Is someone there all the time?

          Do the employees have health benefits?

          Is there a greeter?

          Do you check citizenship before employing someone?

          Last three ??'s are not serious.

          I'm glad to know you plan on sticking around as I am sure others are.

                That's good. By the looks of it, as long as we have central banks, we will have a steady supply of bubbles to keep tabs on!
