***UPDATE***

Just about everybody involved in this ladder knows what is up as we all come to TS, but I am posing here so that if there is anyone else interested, they can read about what is happening.

This ladder is still a go and was originally started last week. However it was then stopped as we are having problems again (the usual) with fragged nation.

It's come to the point where we no longer wish to use fragged nation.

After careful consideration I have decided that I will be buying a ladder system of our own that is php-based that we will be running on the {DOU} site. Unfortunately the system is not 100% the way we want and has some further limitations that need to be addressed, so right after purchasing the package I will have to go right over to freelancer or a similar site and hire a php programmer to work on what I feel needs to be changed. Obviously this is going to be a considerable investment on my part. Since I may be able to use this on my other site(s), it needs to be done anyway. I am thinking about putting adsense on the new site once it is ready to offset some of these costs. I figure at our current traffic level, I should recoup my expenses in about 19 years. 🙂 -- * (By saying "thinking about putting adsense on the new site...I mean it is in the works already.).

I am trying to get a hold of someone who knows about coding to help me price out the work. I'll be seeking Wabbit's counsel but would appreciate any other input anyone may have. You don't have to do any work, just help me figure out the logistics of hiring someone else to do it.

If everything looks good I play on buying the initial package within the next few days. If we can use it as is we will. If not I will get to work ASAP.

More as it develops.
