BTW, is it possible to have several uploaders running and therefore serve two or more market networks?
We had the uploader POST to a HTTP resource which just immediately shoved it on an AMQP message queue system, which anyone could subscribe to and get instant updates in much the same way that EVE Central did with email feeds, but with much less overhead and delay. Such a system is actually pretty easy to set up. EVE Central fed off our updates for at least a while.
As of today, I am officially discontinuing support for all the sites, services and systems under the MMMetrics label and from this point onwards, these may all be unavailable until future notice. I will be starting the process of shutting the sites and their associated backends, databases and application servers down for good with an aim to have it all offline and tidied up by Monday. I will be retaining the domains for the time being.
See you folks around, maybe back in these forums if CCP gets their act together before too long...

Yes, James, i wish CCP would sort themselves out, but thanks for a cracking service, pity it couldn't be run as a small enterprise and at least cover its own costs.
Best of luck with your studies and future endeavours. |

Are you sure you wouldn't be willing to sell the site?
I've got a team of developers, high end servers (several of them in the 4-figure a month rental range), designers, all that jazz.
Anyways, if you aren't willing to sell the site, I think you should really try monetizing it. I'm the head of a web advertising and marketing agency. We monetize websites for a living. I've got access to thousands of advertisers that we can rotate through and make money on your site with.
And no I'm not talking Adsense (or Adcents).
Anyways, it sound's like you're pretty stiff about your decision so I won't push you too hard, but you've got a decent userbase and in my eyes, huge potential to make a great amount of revenue a month.

i believe the issue is not 'the ability to make money from the site', but that it's against CCP rules to make money from an EVE-based site - i think.
i dare say had there been more donations/funding/hosting, financial incentives and the ability to charge for membership, we might be looking at a different path/future.

Its not illegal (or against the EULA) to monetize a site using banners.
If i were to sell EVE Merchandice without prior concent of CCP, yes THEN it would be illegal.
But seeing as you aren't selling anything by putting banners or ads on the site, you're not breaking the eula! ;)
EVE-Kill is interely funded this way, sofar we've not heard any complaints

I am sad to see EM go down, it has been such an outstanding service to the community. Thank you so much for providing it.
