Are We Getting it Wrong?
Just a reminder, this site is only as good as WE make it. Sunday I wokeup to a nice comment, it was posted in the About section and says:
so wats the daily update???
i have been checking out ur site for the past 3 consecutive days…and no changes have been made.
wat is the purpose for this site sir?
I couldn’t help but think, well, I wont say what I thought but I did write a lot which is at the bottom of this post too, but here’s the deal. I can only do so much with a side project like this, couple that with the fact that I do have a life like all of you and you’ll see I can’t keep on top of everything 24/7.
I’m not in it to sell ad’s (and don’t have single paid one up), I’m not trying to make a name for myself, I don’t work for a design firm, and I don’t design for a living. I’m just a college student trying to make something out of nothing.
I write, I design, I code, I sing in the shower -thought I’d toss that in.
I’m a bit limited and the hardest part is getting ideas and figuring out what you, the visitor, wants to read/watch. I could easily go onto the big gay sites and jack some headlines but thats not what Out In McAllen is about.
Up until Out In McAllen launched the Rio Grande Valley Gay community really didn’t have a comprehensive site where everyone could voice their mind. Sites have come and gone but none were as user oriented as Out In McAllen is, comments can be posted anywhere, our awesome new social network is great and gives you the power to meet each other and talk about things that matter or just make some friends.
I can only do so much and I’m inviting you to join in and help make Out In McAllen a success and it can be as simple as commenting, joining out social network or just suggesting ideas.

Copy of My Response
Hey “MaRyT”, Thanks for the comment. Like stated above “features are added almost daily” not posts/articles, although TWO NEW POSTS went up yesterday there have been updates in the past three days.
Meanwhile, OutInMcAllen went live exactly 20 days ago and there have been 18 posts since then and the launch of a BRAND NEW SOCIAL NETWORK which got tons of updates as well.
Moreover, this site is my way of giving the local GBLT community a new way to get information and meet each other.
OutInMcAllen isn’t a big shot site run by a team of people or large organization trying to impress the world. Out In McAllen is trying to fill a local niche and so far things are going great.
So once again thanks for the comment, but I would have enjoyed some ideas along with the criticism.
