It’s Been a Long Time

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.

Hi Paul,
Looking forward to more regular blogging from you, and I hope all’s well.
Great to see you back !
Thanks guys!
Hey stranger, good to see you back
Does this mean we’re allowed to pick your brain again? :p
Hi Tess!
You can pick my brain anytime… 
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
Good to see you back, my daily read has just become that little bit more interesting!!
Thanks Luciano - I’ll see what I can do! Glad you liked Britster.

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?
Hi I management metablog service in korea. “allblog(allblog.net)”
wow, your blog design is very beautiful, can I use your blog skin type for my blog? if you permit ,reply please.
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.
I am indeed due a battering at pool - name the date & time !!
Nice to see you back again. Hope you are having a great day!
Hey Paul! I’ll get a chance to call you soon, and we’ll go and give you a good thrashing (oo-er)…

Thanks Andrew! I’m having a great day!
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.
Looking forward to more of the same!
It’s good to hear that you are doing fine, I’ve been following this blog and I missed your posts but it’s understandable as you had so much work..
Welcome back, how do you know I am a member of britster.com?
Good site!
BTW, send me the link of ur Adult site? Thanks!
sorry to hear abt dp ban. but its great that u have a successfull alternative to dp and that helps u keep going. also its another 2 months since u updated here, kindly make some wonderful contributions for the readers to get this going. last post was in april,

I don’t know about 2 and a 1/2 months, looks like posts are getting rarer still, it’s July now. I know how that feels though, sometimes work just takes over what otherwise is a nice personal blog. Can become a chore can’t it?
Silly people at digitalpoint.. You should have them check into that old account and let them know you intended no harm. My friend has this ban happen to him a year or so ago and they gave him his account back (thankfully, they did not delete it, just suspended it somewhere). It’s worth a try!
good to see u back on dp — u can update thuis blog now
I have noticed that you don’t post as much as you used to. But welcome back, I hope this means we’ll be getting frequent updates from you.
