Have you thought about increasing your price for LLBLGen? Let say maybe with a 100 or 200 euro's? Then you could maybe employee a junior developer to supe up this forum for you and take care of all the little bugs in the LLBLGen system while you work on more serios issues.
Adding another developer is not necessarily adding speed to the development process. Especially bugfixing requires a lot of time with the system. There are small issues left and they get fixed, as these don't take a lot of time. Most of the time is eaten away by large new features or like the 4 weeks I lost with migrating the complete gui to infragistics grids.
The forum is working, there are some small glitches, but are they really annoying? (the error on the paging is small, I thought I fixed that months ago, but perhaps I forgot to patch the stored proc online)
Another developer only saves time if s/he can work independently from me, which is not the case with this system, at least not for a long time if that developer steps in now. THere are some people who will step in for support when time is short, but that will not give the same level of support you're used to.
The fun thing is, the amount of support requests is stable for months, while the amount of customers increases steadily. Apparently after a while customers find their way to this forum or find their way with the system and don't need support anymore.
It's great having you doing all of this but there is only 24hrs in a day and you are only 1 man.
I know, it's hard work
But the amount of features left to be implemented isn't endless. I hope to be finished with what I want to add to the tool by October/november 2004. After that it should be much easier
