    Yeah and as DesignAgent pointed out here it just hit 30K members...

    I definitely don't think Shawn thought it would get that big... especially when you read that original post.

    Don't let his mild mannered alter ego fool you.

    Shawn is really hell-bent on on world domination - The super awesome free tools, and witty (albeit seldomly posted) commentary are just the cover for his ambitious plans to supply forum member brain wave reading to alien corporations. All in his way-too-cool truck and with his attack trained cat (Mr.Wiggles) by his side.

    Hah! We're 'on to you' Mr. Best-free-tools-ever-and-cool-forum-administration-style-guy!


    (heh - congrats on the 30k - thats pretty cool - and thanks again for the keyword tracker. Its still the most effective tool out there free or not)

    Pretty cool. Shawn probably has a twin brother who helps him out, otherwise I don't know when he has all that time to be everywhere - running business, creating free tools, learning new stuff, chatting with us, spending time with his better half and family, enjoing travelling, snoboarding, his H2, making money on eBay, trying to ge sued by Winn and Sims, setting up blog for his mom and (probably) helping his sis, running one of the biggest co-op networks and actively blogging about all this stuff :) That is really awesome!

    Shawn we need Elena here to find out how things are going between you two, I bet we could learn a lot from her too. - My better half gets pissed of at me, my work and everything that relates me to computers :)lol

    Haha...Shawns mom is a programmer. I'm pretty sure she set up her own blog. That would of been cake compared to the Froogle script she wrote for me...;)

    Can someone dig down a bit deeper and find out what his first words were?

    Gotta be "echo 'Hello World'" or something...

    I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if my first word was Why? :)
