ANN will go through some massive changes over the next few weeks. I'll be changing the visual style a bit, modify the site structure and news presentation, and search for moderators and contributors. In the current situation, with all the problems I've been facing, I could either close down ANN or reconsider everything and aim for something higher, better. I've decided to try the later.

Your faith in continuing the ANN project is the greatest news of all.
Thank you.

Great News, I wish you great luck!
I don't mind if ANN becomes a more general (in an effort to attract more advertisers), so long as there is still strong Amiga news reported.
What we need ATM is a multi-platform tech-news site which *also* showcases Amiga stuff. Such a site could act like a bridge between the Amiga "ghetto" and the wide world beyond.
Who knows, once the AmiVerse has regenerated our little part of the computing world, the traffic may be using your bridge to visit AmigaLand!

As others have also mentioned, if the problem is financial, and you put up a link to something like http://www.itrustyou.com with a suggested contribution many would respond.

Hurrah! Hopefully the moderators will take most of the day to day work off your workload! I am glad you have made this decision!
As for the finance of ANN: Have you ever looked at AllAdvantage? I was always suspicious of it until I signed up - but it is almost a guaranteed £10 a month for just using my browser on my PC - which I was doing anyway! If you had a link from you site then other PC using Amiga fans could sign up and you get some money from them getting some cash from it too! It sounds too good to be true, it works for me though!
If nobody objects here is the URL:
http://www.alladvantage.com/calculator.asp?refid=rkd-181
When you sign up you then put your link on the mainpage and everyone can use it.
There is a Mac version of the banner bar program, so emulator users could run that. I believe the top payouts are in the thousands ($) at the moment! Alot of websites seem to have it, such as the great http://www.ispreview.co.uk which is really cool.
(Sorry for the blatant plugs!)
Cheers
Ben

Well today I was a bit nervous when I opened my browser to visit ANN, I must admit i was afraid that you had decided to shut it down but you didn't....Instead you promised us (at least to aim for) something even better!
Thats great but not exactly what I had expected from a guy who sounded very tired of this ANN thing a few days ago...Anyway a nice decision and the best wishes from here...

Well, it's great that you are continuing the site.
However I think it is already the best news site on
the whole internet. I am sure you will have fun
trying to improve it. Try not to overcomplicate it
though, fast and simple is nice. Thanks for the
great site, it is appreciated.

Excellent news. I'm glad that you have come to this decision. At
this critical time for the Amiga, we need all the support we
can get. There seems to be a momentum building up with the Amiga
and I feel sure that this time it is going to happen. I am
optimistic that we are on the right track and that all the hard
work that is being done will finally pay off this time.

Glad to hear you've decided to continue!
The moderators idea is a good one, I hope that it makes things less difficult.
Please however don't put your life on hold while doing any updates you decide upon.
Good Luck!

Good decision. Thanks for coming back. I always open at your
site, because you always have good info...don't feel bad if you
want to walk away, especially if you have something good for your
future.
However, thanks again for your spirited and sincere work. I
wish more people had your vision and loyalty. Best wishes.

Because your a true Amigan, I knew you'd find some way to tough it
out. Find yourself some equally resilient moderators and you'll be
good to go. Stick to it, and you will go far!
