How on earth do i write a business plan when there are so many unknowns?

I've done up a number of business plans over the years, and have basically come to the conclusion that the best way to seek out the information is to ask those already doing the business what their expenses are. Contacting realtors and asking them what the going rates for properties are that are similar to what you are looking to build. Etc.

If you've already looked into building quotes then, you've already taken that step.


Do you have a good template to use?

@BA1 Thank you :)

I agree that this is what was needed to bring the community back. But knowing that I couldn't do that, I tried to work with what I had.

Helptogo was first aid. But as we all know first aid doesn't always work.

Why was I told repeatedly that help to go had a zillion members when in fact overtime I logged into help to go there was no one on board? Help to go or whomever ran the site was flat out lying on a regular basis the popularity of the site. Water under the bridge. I just tune out with lies from the top. Please moderators dont do that on this site. Amen

I think that the original maker of the -togo site, (before Ryan) made a number of accounts to help with SEO. But don't quote me on that.

Rescued? Is that the word you really meant?! Rescued!
That is a very optimistic way to look at it.
Not at all the correct way, but a way.
*Similes broadly

If he hadnโ€™t grabbed it, it would all be long lost! So I think rescued is appropriate. ๐Ÿ˜„

Thief!!!
They stole our site and all of us with it!

Every word, comfort, exclamation, frustration, cry, desire, hope, thought, idea. All stolen in an instant!
Oh, sorry: Rescued

It wasn't stolen.... We were betrayed, and left for dead. Helptogo was an attempt at restoration. A lot of hard work was put into it. I did what I could. But with no money, and no knowledge of how to code, it was what it was... Until Rockster came along with the programming knowhow to bring the community back to life.

And as I understand, going to school with, at least in part, the goal of bringing back the site was needed to bring back the site.

Helptogo didn't steal anything. It was merely first aid for a rapidly deteriorating community.


Basically CBS sold the domain. The new owners liked the idea of the original site, and dumped us onto helptogo. Ryan worked for the company that bought the domain.
Ryan, and I as a user of the site, and newly appointed mod/admin, did what we could to keep the community alive.

@Padre_J_Roulston - Is it only in the converted format? If we had the original data I could probably format it nicely and get some nice searches set up. The new format maybe not- it looks like it loses a lot of data. ๐Ÿ˜…

Ryan should have access to the original data if it still exists.

As BA1 said it's all at helptogo.com. It's listed in the Misc forum.

And as it couldn't be converted from one format to the other very well, it is "stripped."

Happy new year guys :)

Is living there expensive? Like, rent and houses and such?

Hydro (Electricity) is horrendously expensive.... (I believe it is the highest of anywhere in North America, if not all of western society.

As for the rest... I haven't lived anywhere else to be able to compare, and I suppose it's all relative.

I'm told the gas price is higher than it should be... I just filled up at $1.145/L
