This is similar to the "If you were God" thread. Most if not all of us are aware that Jacob is the founder of Fakku. His rule is absolute, and the decisions he enforces can either make or break the community. I suppose you could say he is our God. However, even a God can't please everyone (or doesn't want to please everyone). The
majority of members gives Jacob praise (+rep) whenever he makes a positive post or commentary. Then there are the
minority who are disappointed in Jacob because he failed to meet their expectations. This thread is targeted towards the minority, but I'm sure the majority would like to throw in their two cents. So members of Fakku, what would you do if you were the founder of Fakku? Do you even want to be a webmaster?
Outline:
I. What would you call the site?
II. How much money would you spend to keep the site running?
III. How much time would you invest into the site?
IV. Would you cater to the members' tastes or would you just upload things that you liked?
V. How would you handle ads? How much is too much advertisement?
VI. What features would you add that could attract new members in addition to keeping the current members happy?
VII. How long will it take for you to say "Fuck it" and close down the site (or let someone else run it)?

My response:
Been there, done that. The failure of my website all came down to money. I couldn't afford to advertise the site or buy my own server. Not to mention the anti piracy spies kept breathing down my neck. It was a good experience for me though since I can now use my knowledge to run my father's small business.
