I went to the extremes because we lost so many mods during the transition that I could not keep up with the volume of takedown requests, and also because I didn't really want my real life info somehow forever associated with the site. I have a real life, I'm not really a profit-focused or admin-centric guy, I just kind of fell into the role. I enjoyed the site for what it was and when given the chance to save it from the dustbin of the internet, I did. I made choices from the start to protect my anonymity for all these reasons, and it's hamstrung me ever since as far as even paying for the site itself, let alone profiting from it.
I can't imagine I'm the only webmaster in the world in this situation, and I thought I would share my thoughts, thanks for sharing yours.
