    I have heard that the admin of:-
    www.betlik.com (Paid to Post forum)

    is 13 years old and he is owning such a big forum. I don't belieive it, because i am confused how he pay his members. He have paid about 30 members yet and still paying. His forum is about 5/6 months old and he got lots of members,posts and threads + lots of traffic too. :eek::eek::eek:

    I DONT BELIEVE THIS..... Do you believe? :rolleyes:

    He become 13 just last month, he was 12 before :D....

    Yes, but owning a PAID-TO-POST forum is a big PAIN. The people you are talking about will be owning Non-PAID forums, but i am surprised because hes owning a GPT forum.

    ....No shit Sherlock.

    I suppose it's possible to run a biggy if you have a sound support network of mods and co-administrators to look after things while you are at school getting a proper education. Although web forums/internet marketing and such like are a learning curve they aren't what I'd call a balanced, mentally stimulating and broad curriculum for a developing young mind. I step off my soap box now.

    He's been promoting it really hard and I remember it well when he started it and started giving incentives at another forum I used to visit.

    But all I'm worried about is his actual future, unless he decides to pursue an online career, I feel that he should consider Betlik as more of a hobby rather than a serious business. Although, extra pocket money never hurt! :D

    I'm 15 and yeah don't underestimate us kids :D

    Saadahmed007 on these forums is also 15 and another guy who has the name of a cartoon character in his ID, but I forgot it.

    No big deal really, I had many forums in the past with 100+ members, the first one coming when I was 11, it was a gaming one.

    This guy might have another income source from where he would have been getting the money, or simply too much money to spend.
