I think for me the reason I haven't totally given up on the site (and think it may come around in the future) is that 3-D Arena was the only site of this genre that was owned and operated by women. This is still mainly a man's community (in regards to the communities, programs themselves - not the artists) ~sigh~ The site actually had gotten to the point of not being as time consuming as it had been - thanks to April's scripting and would have stayed open, had it not been for a lousy virtual server. I would have let it keep plugging along, but I would have had to move it again and pay the start up costs (we had been at this server only a month, but they didn't have what we asked them about and so it wasn't going to work) and that is what defeated the site. Should I find a reasonable virtual server that has what we needed (anonymous ftp that actually hides the files as we had before and referral logs) and if the vendors are still interested I may re-open the doors. I have indeed found a cheaper and more reasonable merchant's account as well as a system for accepting checks, so that is no longer an issue, only the server was the issue.
