Who in their right minds thinks this site is worth money?
It generates no revenue, has a user base that continues to decline and requires hosting costs that are not recouped in any way.
It's been a great thing for me throughout my life and I'm very thankful to the people who continue to put hard work and money into keeping it running, but the idea that someone would pay money for the privilege of chucking money down the hosting black hole and dealing with the constant aggravation of users like shotty is mind boggling to me.
First we put up advertisement space everywhere, I am talking top of the pages, I am talking the sides, and the bottom of pages too.
Next we need to do even more than that. I say before any players see a flip they have to watch a minute video on car insurance, preferably gieco.
All roles will be delivered but you have to watch another add about Budweiser or something, maybe from most interesting man in the world.
These are all just ideas, but I bet we can turn this boat around and make MS great again.

I mean I bought the card deck, if we figure out an easier way to distribute and actually make profit on doing so that'd be great. I know lots of people who would be willing to buy mafia cards, I have nothing to recommend them because all the on the market shit is awful atm.Come see me in the Great American Melodrama in Oceano- Porochaz

Would you be able to make boatloads of money monetizing it today? Probably not. But think about how basic what we have is: a message board, the onsite chat & wiki. There's a ton of room to improve:
- Better website(moving wiki content there, building face-to-face app(kind of like Fibbage), building realtime game app with simple graphics)
- Improving what we currently have: streamlining the queues, modernizing the forum gameplay, better mobile optimization
This isn't me trying to persuade anyone to buy it(I'm here because it's fun to build stuff, don't care about $), but more to get people excited about the things we can do and can build if we just get excited about and focus on it.- Psyche
