I also agree there are actions to be taken to improve the site and service to the community. After all, every site like this can always be improved. I like the site and service and will approve even more with some improvements. The best thing Pete and Dustin can do for increased revenue is to immediately implement the ad tracking so that businesses can see the benefit of advertising on the site. We have been frequent advertisers and have been happy with the results for what we have paid. Lastly, it is important to give full time attention to this site if greater results are expected.
