Old school dudes, wanna know why your TGP sites was never a hit?
Probably little to late, but what do you expect?
Let me just take a wild guess, your server provider was 99,9% up,
and still cheapest in the business, now how can that be? There is your answer, as simple as that.
It was all about extremely fast server providers, and this kind of hosting was much more expensive, That difference in high-bandwidth processing made all the difference between successful 200K+ TGP's and stuck at 10-20K TGP's.
"Just my thoughts" No offense to any server providers
