Time will tell if I have made the right decision, and perhaps I'll come to regret it one day. But I have decided to stop operating YWS on a month by month basis. I'm tired of having to ask myself every month if I want to plop down another bunch of money on this place. So I've just decided to completely stop it, until at least April 5th, 2007; that is, YWS will now be operating on a year by year basis. No matter what happens, YWS will remain online until at least April 5th, 2007. This means a lot of money in the short term (some of which I've had to borrow), but it saves me over $100 in the long term. So everyone, YWS is here to stay.

... wow.

It's hard to think of something to say (and mean it) that isn't horribly cliché. I'm glad you decided to keep this going, and kind of stunned that you'd make such a long-term investment. In a good way. This is so great. I hope it works out for you, too.

Thanks.

And this, my dear Nathaniel Caldwell, is one of the many reasons we love you so much. Thank you so very, very much, my friend.
Got YWS? I do.

I am not blessed with the gift of eloquence, for I have never been to Ireland. So, I must be content to echo the sentiments of my fellow man, and say "Thanks a bunch man"!


Heh...my attempt at a "thank you" limerick.

You fooled me... honestly I thought you were until I actually read it all. =]

I don't comment much any more... but, I still think this is a great idea.

At first I thought is YWS closing? - and then I read it through. Forgive me for being trite, but there is nothing else to say but 'Thank you, Nate.'

You had me for a moment too, but then I saw the 7 at the end of the year and I could breathe again. Thanks for all you do, Nate. :)

I know when I first read it, I was starting to freak out.

Then Snoink came by and forced me to re-read it.

Wouldn't you know it, I picked up on it after that?

Nate, you triksy fellow. You almost got me... but you got me really confused before I realized that you were trying to fool people. Before that, I just thought that you were getting things mixed up a bit.
