I run a network of free discussion forums on a variety of areas including music, theology, politics, sports and niche groups. The first of all my forums was Fender-Talk.com – A forum for guitar players that love Fender guitars. A little ironic because at the time I was playing keyboards for Freddy Fender. They tolerate [...]

We’ve rearranged the online battle forums at RapDogs.com – Used to be a hierarchy of ten progressive levels; we’ve simplified it to three levels. The ten levels were a little bit cumbersome. I had hoped to have the battle progressions automated but wasn’t able to make that happen. With over 15,000 members on that site [...]

I’m constantly amazed at the conspiracy theories that abound about my forum network, especially since our early January 2006 crash. Most people have been very supportive and understanding. There’s a small pocket of people that have been absolutely toxic about the situation, each one seeming to have their own special conspiracy spin on everything. I [...]
