Wow. Why not move the domain to an anonymous registrar (or 301 all the traffic to a new one), host the site on offshore bulletproof hosting, and put the roms back? That's a huge chunk of change you're probably missing out on.
Too be honest because it felt wrong to run such a site and know you were a huge part of the piracy problem. But yes, I basically decided that I didn't want $20,000 a month. At the height of its time it served 2 million page views a day! These days I'm just thankful for everything it taught me, I can safely say that my programming skill comes from this one website and the trial by fire that is to scale a website to su…
Would it still feel wrong if you geared it specifically to abandonware roms? Perhaps something to consider.

Just do something.
This thread may sound silly, but there's some truth here. Time you spend waiting for the idea is time you waste actually implementing an idea . PMF doesn't happen in your head, it happens when interacting with the market. Get something together, pitch it, refine it, repeat. You'll get there.
I would suggest starting the "idea" with data about paying customers. There's a lot of data out there. Find a market, figure out what they need/want and build a POC. Figure out if your market will pay for it and garner feedback. You might just find that your market will reveal the elusive "idea" for you.

I'm impressed. Super clever, and I dig the website. How did you get the game in front of jungle animals?
A friend of mine joked that we should get a tiger to play our ipad game. I immediately became obsessed with this idea. We worked for a couple weeks calling animal shelters etc with no luck. But we told everyone we knew that we wanted to do this. My sister ended meeting someone at starbucks who's daughter worked for a shelter and the rest is history: http://conservatorscenter.org They love us because it brought a good…
I think I love everything about you guys. Great concept, execution, everything! It benefits you and somebody else (and a bunch of incredible animals)
I've now put that center on the list of places I need to visit.

#275Hey guys, awesome to see such a successful thread.
I'd like to set up some sort of group where we get ~10 people together and then each week set things we need to do, and then next week we make sure the other people completed their goals.
If you are in, post your email as a reply to this. I'm going to use a posterous group to accomplish this - though if there is something else that would work better let me know.

#276Between 9K - 13K a month from affiliate commissions (CJ) promoting diet programs, and web hosts. 50% is from a network of sites. 50% is from a vastly successful Adwords campaign.
Thanks for responding to the thread. This interests me. Any chance you could shoot me an email? Email is in profile.

#277I'm happy to say that I make a solid $2k-$5k with a bunch of niche Apps in the AppStore, see http.//010dev.com Although this requires a good amount of time, I'm still able to do some freelancing on the side which makes a pretty sweet addition to the above, works out just great.
If you are happy to, I would love to contact you. hnmyusername.com
Also just wanted to say that you should improve the link text color used on the about page of your website.

#278I set up a web dev blog in 2003, at ILoveJackDaniels.com, and after a few months of rubbish blogging starting doing free cheat sheets to download. At its peak, from AdSense and text link ads, it made about $1200 per month. I had to move domain (trademark heat), and moved to AddedBytes.com. Lost lots of traffic and links, unfortunately. Ad revenue dropped over time (around $100 at its lowest), and I recently ditched t…
Dude. Your cheat sheets were amazing back in the day (2004) when I was first getting into LAMP. The HTML entities sheet and CSS sheet were lifesavers. I had them all printed out and hanged up on the wall above my monitor. Do you have a Paypal donate button/email? :)
Thanks :) - glad they were useful! I've got a paypal thing on the cheat sheet download pages ... http://www.addedbytes.com/download/subversion-cheat-sheet-v1...

Got any spare invites to carbon ads?
Sorry, the invites come from the company, rather than the community. That said, you can suggest your site via a form on their contact page.
