If people would use it they would maintain it. No one is stopping them from putting it back in.

Ok my advertisment sugestion is not really advertisement. I am in grade twelve and I can tell you what seemed to work. Everyone and I mean everyone does online advertising. Nice and easy and all however my recommendation is to invest on a good charismatic speaker dude/sales representative (I forget the job position some sort of councilor). Anyways why I say this is there is this one guy who came from across the country to talk to my school division. Him and his 1 hour long power point presentation were able to half convince most of my grade to pack up now and move 3000 kilometers away from home.

Ok so why a person and not some random add. Because everyone does random adds, however not too universities come to your school and present to you about what they are about. When you come to us in person it shows that you care because you are ready to send people a few thousand kilometers to meet and talk to us. Also nothing beats the human connection.

Just my personal experience.
BTW I hate ads.

Also I would like to add my time is very limited. I am working on my last year of higschool, a piano exam and my black belt for taekwondo.

My point instead of making a bunch of small seperate apps why not start on working on the games now. We can identify what type of game we want to make if it is zehawk's lerriac or something else. Then we figure out different parts of the game and we work on those.

Example we want to learn classes one week we make a block class. The next week someone is interested in making containers we start on maps etc...

@cbrawl: Well I lounge around on freenode a lot. It depends on the person.
