It’s Been a Long Time

Time Flies

Wow… It barely feels like a couple of weeks have passed since I last posted here - but in reality it’s been almost two and a half months. It’s amazing how quickly time passes when you’ve got your head buried in projects.

My part-time career as a Website Flipper was going well, until the powers that be on Digital Point decided to give me a lifetime ban for having a duplicate account (one that was more than a year old, and which I never posted with because I lost access to the email account I used during the sign up process). I wouldn’t mind, but I lost several months of perfect trading history and buyer feedback… So I decided to take a break from site and domain trading for a while - but it was fun (and very profitable) while it lasted!

I’m currently running three very successful websites: Britster (a social network aimed at the British), Chat-alot (a global social network with a slant on dating and chat) and an adult forum (I won’t post the link here as it’s definitely NSFW - let me know if you want a peek). The last of these is currently an Alexa Top 60k site, with more than 3000 visitors a day - so it’s been quite time-consuming!

I haven’t been a very good blogger recently. Many people have given me great feedback and many compliments on this site and my posts - but I simply haven’t had the time to post on a regular basis. Hopefully this will now change, as my workload is set to ease of now (I feel like I’ve said that several times in the last few months, so I don’t expect anybody to entirely believe me). I miss reading my favourite blogs, I miss having a place to post my thoughts and I really miss the friends I made when I first started blogging.

    Hey stranger, good to see you back :)
    Does this mean we’re allowed to pick your brain again? :p

    Paul, if you could post once/week that would be awesome. I like your style and value what you have to say. Please post more! By the way, Britster looks fantastic, very robust!

    Hey Paul, glad to see you back - live and kicking.
    I meant to email you to find out what’s up with you, but you know how it is - busy, busy bee….

    An adult forum?! What does your wife has to say about it? ;-)

    Sorry to hear about your ban, I hope it won’t affect you to write more about website flipping - I’ve been patiently waiting for Part Deux ;-)

    Vivien,

    I’m glad that somebody else has been doing the “busy, busy bee” thing apart from me - it makes me feel a little less hard done by! ;)

    Abi’s supportive of everything I do online - at the end of the day the adult industry is just another part of online life!

    Other parts of the flipping series have been drafted - so they’ll probably still happen at some point!

    Why is that Mr Barnes - have you rigged your morning paper to explode???

    Hope you’re well mate! I believe your due a battering at pool, are you not?

    Thanks for your comment beatshon. I’m afraid that I have no plans at this time to make my theme public. When I next change the theme I will of course release this one for download - but I’m not sure when that is likely to happen.

    It is funny how time get away from you no matter how hard you try to keep it under control.
    Good to see you are back and doing well with your other projects.
