b ) We are being forced to upgrade constantly, fix bugs, errors, update players, answer noobish questions.

c ) At busy periods we/members are un-able to upload large Video Files as the formatting of Videos from original Format to .flv is a big strain on server resources and courses errors.

d ) We even had to stop Visitors and resctict the amount of Videos being watched as the costs were huge and the profits were low, we combated this by installing a Seekmo Gateway Page before the Video clip was played.

That's our first six weeks in a nut shell - and before all the Zango/Seekmo haters flame me - I have heard it all before - we will continue to use Seekmo as a gateway until we find another profitable advertiser that can make 1000$ a week.
