What's new?
Hey everybody, it's been awhile since I've signed on. I'm not much into designing these days; I do more work involving SEO and affiliate marketing but haven't touch that stuff in a long time due to university and other things going on in my life.
What's new? I see we have new management, are things starting to change around here? And is Salathe, Village Idiot, Jeff Anderson, j0n, Gareth, Cory etc (sorry if I forgot your name, it's been awhile) still around?

Salathe and I (now Village Genius) are still around, I haven't seen the rest that you named in a while. It's good to see you back.

Nice to see some of you guys around, I'll be lurking in the background and will contribute if possible. It would be cool to get this place back to what it once used to be.

That's what we are working on.
PS: How did that car related network you wanted to pursue work out for you? It was a very ambitious plan.

CarBloggin.com was the first site in the network I believe, and after a month or two I started to get some love from Digg and traffic began to rise quickly. I was young and stupid at the time, and somebody threw some money in my face for the site and I made a deal. I definitely didn't get as much as it was worth, but I didn't know any better... I still wonder where the site would be if I still owned it, but it's now doomed to be a database/spammy sort of site last time I checked. Looking back, I learned a lot about SEO, viral marketing, and social communities in general from the site, so I don't regret it.
I also had the domain SportsCar.sc and had a forum going with a few members. It had a really nice theme; had a nice front page and everything. But I lost interest (because once again, I was young and stupid) and the project died off. I'm pretty sure I liquidated the vB license and theme to try and recoup some of my investment, but still lost a good bit of money at the time. I probably had a few other sites in the network as well, but nothing to fancy.
