Hey all! My name is Derek Weeks. In my long career I have started 3 forums, administrated and monetized them, and sold them a a substantial profit (my first forum was sold when I was just 14yo. They were in saturated niches so I have plenty of experience building a successful website in a saturated niche. I have introduced myself before (never as My current project I am making a Technology/Bitcoin/Gaming website and forum (with gaming being a pretty much non existing topic, mainly its gaming and eSports technology). I am determened to make this into a lasting business instead of flipping the forum. I plan to eventually turning my upcoming ezine into a real, published, magazine. One that you can buy in stores. I am also going to eventually have a time slot on satellite radio. I will be going to every big convention that has to do with technology like E3, and the International Consumer Electronics Expo (just to name a few). I will be broadcasting a weekly/bi weekly podcast and when I am at a convention, i will post a special podcast and provide live, as well as recorded video coverage of the conventions. My end goal is to have a tv show on G4tv. I have a great business plan and my bank is willing to give me a sizable loan if I can find enough donors in my project to show them that it is an actual viable and achievable plan (no I am not asking for donators). I will have a kickstarter up once my new bank account is verified on amazon and paypal (paypal for my indiegogo page). i am currently trying to see if I can get a couple likes so I can post a thread in the services forum requesting for someones services for my forum (no I am not asking for likes either). Back when the last time I used this forum (in the early early days) those forums didnt require anything to post in them but that was many years ago. I cannot think of threads to write to get thanks. Maybe someone would be so kind as to give me a few ideas so that I an get those likes as soon as possible (sorry if this is against the rules, that is not my intentions. If it is then please delete this). Currently my new site is not open to the public but when it is I will post it on the site asking for some peoples views on the site. I know I have lofty goals but I know I can make it happen. I already have a publisher friend because I have a contract with a publisher to write a zombie survival guide book (one that is comprehensive, unlike the 2 books out now). Welp thats me in a nutshell! I hope to talk to everyone again and I really appriciate any help you give to me!.
Jesus Christ, selling forums at the age of 14? I think I didn't even have a computer at that age lol.
Ya I learned my first programming language(s) at age 12 so I can make scripts for a runescape cheating device called SCAR. The language it used was a combo of Python and pascal (mainly Pascal) but without knowing both of the languages I didnt know which functions were from which language. Every application knows Python is similar to Pascal and visa versa so I dont need to explain it to most of you. Anyway I know currently over 14 languages (both web and application languages) and I taught myself all besides 3-4 of them (also I do not consider plain old HTML or even CSS as languages, but if you do then I currently know over 16 languages (a few are dead languages taught out of fun or our of a serious need for programmers in the job force that use those languages.... Remember if anyone has any ideas on how I can get 2 liked posts then please tell me... I want to buy some services for my coming up business...
