Excellent stuff Ben - now we know your motives :)


Love the bit about "shred" hosting - is that a new buzzword?

found running a forum in a shred hosting environment would certainly experience performance issues

Curses! I thought Microsoft Word would know better than that, guess it's not completely idiot proof!

Nice one. :)

The only information that is missing from that interview (and on everyone's mind): how much do you earn from this forum. Just a joke. Great read for those aspiring starters.
