Well as i'm sure most of you guys who will read this blog already know, I finally launched my flagship questional.com on February 9th. Been in development with it since early November 2008, and I have dedicated about 8-12 hours a day on it. Now that it is finally released, I thought I would be able to breathe a breath of fresh air, but oh no there is so much more to do/think about. I knew that after release I would be the one responsible for keeping the server online, making updates, keeping security up to date, but its a lot more than I thought possible.

Our second day online I felt it necessary to get an IP Ban tool working, just in case we had attacks on the site. Well at night time, a team of a couple users decided to do just that, and unfortunately my ip ban tool was not the most efficient. I ended up working from 9 am to midnight, then having a 2.5 hour deletion fest with people wan

The website that I am developing (questional.com) is going to finally be released Feb 1st!

The avatar stipulations are just like neos as I love their size of 65 X 65 pixels. The only thing is that you cannot have any stock in your avatar as I (and probably you) do not own that stock image used.

Intro / History
So I figured it would be fun to keep a blog on here about the launching of my flagship website http://questional.com I'm not going to go into too many details on the site because I gotta keep my trade secrets, but I will say that its an even bigger and better version of yahoo answers & answerbag. I'm actually hoping that its going to be my permanent retirement fund, but we'll see. Even if it just gives me enough income to live off of ($1500-$3000 a month) I will be ecstatic.

Logo Mock 3
Anyway, I just wasn't 100% cool with the logos that I put up last time. They were nice, but they just didn't make me feel "WOW". This is a logo my head administrator is going to be getting his whole side of his car detailed with, so its gotta be snazzy. Anyway, without further ado here is what I call "mock 3".

(Actually its pictured above, still some bugs to work out with blogs -_-)
