This week was one of the toughest for us at mokono.
We´ve decided to cut staff significantly today in anticipation of a long-lasting decline in advertising revenues due to the financial crisis at hand. 2009 and 2010 are highly likely to push ad revenues down across the board and in order to ride mokono safely through the hard times to come, we have decided on making one big and painful cut. Now. Not later. And no more before we start hiring again.
This was and still is very hard on all of us. But it is a necessary move to ensure that BCUK will not only be giving people a voice in the future as well, but that BCUK will also see further development and the regular service and support.
We´ve decided to share this with you because we feel you should have an idea of significant developments behind and within BCUK. We´ll do our best to ensure that the differences you will notice with BCUK in the future are improvements.
Very best wishes to you all,
Florian Wilken & Vasco Sommer-Nunes
Managing Directors

Can't have been an easy decision for you, and it's understandable why it's being forced on you in the current financial climate.
For what it's worth please pass on our thanks to those that are going for their work on the site.
While I'm at it, thanks to the one's who are staying too... I often think we really don't say it enough and it's times like this, when we're reminded it's real people working for our blogsite, we need to remember to express appreciation.
Best wishes and hopes for those leaving.
Thank you. I will pass that on. Your words will be highly appreciated.
Ditto what AJ said
