AmiBench News
Mark ´tecno´ Wilson, the maintainer of AmiBench, the website for international
free small ads, reports in his year summary about the adverse conditions capable to make
a webmaster's life really hard, sometimes. AmiBench was hunted by bad luck last year:
scripts which weren't finished; the service provider got hacked; the server played yoyo;
the web account was closed by mistake; no feedback from the readers; ....
I can comprehend well that such conditions are very annoying and motivation goes to zero sometimes.
Give Mark positive feedback to give his motivation a boost. :)
