2) How did you keep the drive/passion going after the initial couple of years for the same site.

1. we were never stacked with programmers or designers. We've tried hiring inhouse and offshore. In both cases it was hit and miss for us. Looking back it was definitely a mistake we made. We were always heavily stacked with idea people but light on people that could execute those ideas.
2. I wasn't able to be on Twistys non stop for the past 10 years. One thing that helped was having staff that managed and ran the site so as I started to get bored of it they had it under control and I'd work on a new project. Then when I got the itch again I'd come back full steam on it. That helped. The other thing that helped was reading comments, suggestions, complaints, emails from customers (members). Somehow that always fired me up to be better.
