Dear Crasstalk Nation,
As Crasstalk has grown in popularity and the level of engagement you guys have with the site has grown, so have our costs associated with running this place. Currently we’re making a series of huge improvements that will make the site better than ever.
You can help us out. If you love Crasstalk as much as we do, please consider making a donation to our site fund. Our Paypal address is [email protected]. We’re not asking for much, and any amount of money helps!
In the meantime, Bens, Dogs, GrandInquisitor and I are working hard on a series of major improvements to the site.
- We’re upgrading our dedicated server to make the site perform faster and smoother.
- We’re making major changes to our database to (hopefully) fix a major bug that caused commenters to be randomly locked out of commenting on certain threads.
- We’re developing a solution to provide chat directly on Crasstalk.com.
- We’re making database changes to allow authors to upload much bigger files than they previously could.
- We’re working on a solution that would allow authors to share music with their fellow Crasstalkers via streaming technology.
- We’re making minor design changes to make site cleaner looking and easier to navigate.
- We’re making changes to the site’s database so that old articles and comments don’t slow down the overall CT experience.
- We’re making a number of changes to our SEO to ensure that Crasstalk is more visible on search engines and we can continue growing new readers for our talented group of writers.
- We’re working hard on ways of making sure the actual articles get better and better.
- We’re exploring new features to offer you guys such as Crasstalk.com email addresses and a Crasstalk.com-affiliated blog service.
