At least things have been dramatically improving along the way. Traffic is increasing monthly, Ad/Parking revenue is increasing. Offers from native speakers happen frequently now etc... etc...

No, I completely agree. Everything is falling into place. Just at a very slooooooooooooowww speed.

It's just amazing to look at the years in numbers and then know people like you have been waiting double that.

If I've learned anything from IDN it's patience. Banging your head against the wall doesn't do any good. I've already tried that.
