Just for the record, I started the forum even before the Google thing started--my goal with the forum has never been to make money off of it. I simply wanted to build a great place for people to meet and succeed. And believe it or not, the forum is hardly a money maker. It is pretty well known among webmasters that forums provide low return on investment because most ads depend on clicks, and forum visitors, because they are regulars and have seen the ads many times, click less frequently than do first-time visitors. (In case you're thinking you can help out by clicking ads--PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ADS JUST TO 'SUPPORT' THE FORUM.)
In the forums I have met many wonderful people, and I am working on a way for us all to keep in touch. Stay tuned.
