    Thanks to everyone commenting on this, even though it is a few pages back on "new" and not on the home page. You all rock!

    Yes, good to know. They kept things under the EIN until it went unpaid, then they switched to my SSN. That got my attention, of course, and I've learned a lot since then.

    Millions of visitors a month, and millions of registered users (not the same set, only a fraction of the visitors in a given month are registered). Freemium model. I'll post anothe…

    It is because of my 800 credit score that the cards in my name were upped automatically. Too much of a good thing! It is now 590. Thanks for the inspiration! Just knowing recovery …

    Very true! I will wait a week and gather those thoughts for a post next Sunday. Of course, it's not that we haven't thought of things, but how much good time do I want to throw aft…

    Too late for investors I think. And it wasn't so much the wrong business per se, we didn't shift when the market did, and later we didn't give up when we should have.

    Yeah. Funny thing though, in all my life I've never had a resume, always things found me. It doesn't feel like it will be that way now, but I Aldo understand that I'm having some v…

    Yes, particularly if you aren't the one doing the financial reports (which stopped by the way, along with bills getting paid, etc., etc).

    Sell might be an option. One of those things where there was an offer a while back, perhaps they will take it for a song. But otherwise, how to go about it?

    Thanks! It took longer to accept the situation I'm in, than it will be to start doing new things, I hope.

    I wasn't being sarcastic. It is just not an easily monitizable space. It is $150 total, but the way credit was signed up, almost all of it is guaranteed by me. I am looking into co…

    Beware self-funded Startups: failure can haunt you for a long time

    After years of success and decline, I'm stuck with over $150k in debt when we didn't bring our expenses down as fast as our income dropped. It didn't help that not everyone on the …
