Relaunching an old site

Back in 2002 I created a site for blokes, it was an online magazine type site (a blog really although before people really called them blogs) aimed at guys from 18-35, with a mix of funny news, jokes, reviews and a smattering of adult content. Originally I ran the site using php-nuke and for the first year or so it was quite popular, generating me around US$1000 a month in revenue, which at the time I thought was great, especially as once the site was set up I was …

For the past couple of months I’ve been having a serious problem, namely no internet connection. It all came about when I lost my job here in Bangkok and as a result was forced to dramatically cut my living expenses.
