> So what's your business model?

What? Do you really think the entire Internet is a business, or that the Internet is defined by its similarity to a business?

Your reasoning is circular: My site isn't a business, but everything is a business, and the entire point of a business is to make money, but my site doesn't make money.

You're trying to to offer the fact that I don't have signups as proof that my site isn't real. To a hammer, everything is judged by its similarity to a nail.

I saw this coming years ago, at a time when people designed Websites for any number of reasons -- before the Internet had become a virtual strip mall.

> The entire point of a business is to make money, so I wonder how you do that.

This may be futile, but just for the record, you need to examine your assumptions. Not all racehorses are platypuses.
