That's the most recent good movie I've seen.

But to be honest, when I think about it, the movie that influenced me the most was probably Star Wars.

Well, to be honest, I never meant for ARP to be so big. It started off as a hobby, nothing more. So I didn't put that much effort into it. I kinda regret that now since we lost a lot of opportunities.

But the growth of ARP these few years have shown me that nothing is impossible. So, with our new vision, I will definitely put in more effort!

From what I can see now, ARP is more than capable of becoming a tech hub. We just need to cultivate more hidden talents out there!

Like PsYkHoTiK and Max_87!

I'm really glad that I could contribute to ARP.

Been having a ball ever since I got here,,

I reckon he will be interviewed soon enough!

The only question is whether anyone of us can understand him.

I would understand

Hey Boss, one question - do you actually make any money from ARP? All the advertising and stuff...or is it just enough to cover the cost of running the site?

ROTFL! I can tell you but then I will have to kill you!

Well, this is still a hobby for all of us, albeit a more serious one these days. So, money is never a consideration. PASSION is. In fact, I have personally spent a lot of money on ARP in the past.

Things are, of course, much better these days. We can now afford our own server and recently a new e-mail system as well as our brand-new forums.

As you can see, whatever we get, we pile into ARP and the community. Unlike many other sites, we spend a lot of money on our own server, our own software, etc. These are things that most visitors do not see - the hidden costs of running a website.

There is nothing free in life. Someone somewhere has got to pay for whatever we get for free. In ARP's case, all this is supported by advertising. The more people click, the more revenue the team gets. And the more revenue the team gets, the more we can pile into ARP and the community.
