But, to be honest, what DH said above is even more convincing.
I'm also interested why Nysus is broke ( yes, I've heard, he had to pay $1000 for his dog surgery ) since he claims to be working in this biz since 5 years. And since he loves great ideas ( as anyone who read all this thread must had noticed ), it's kinda strange the apart from dreaming about them, he is doing nothing right now ( ? - at least DH said so )... Well, if he won the 1000000th post contest ( doesn't matter how ), he got some great prices for it ( lots of content, special deal with partnership programs etc ...) and I wonder why he didn't start anything with it... Just a little strange...

I only started to try making money 2 years ago as I was underage before then. And yes, I had to pay $1250 for Kylie's vet bill. For this past time I have been learning and fiddling/trying out different things, and also being a full time student until 6 months ago. I started when I was 15 doing programming for an adult company and also ended up doing web design for them as well. I gradually grew interest in this whole thing over the years, so it is not as if I have been in this full-time for 5 years as you seem to think.
DrinkingHard said I paid for nothing which was just a lie to try to make me look cheap and aid his 'user' point of view.
I did not have enough for my own room for 3 nights, the bus ticket there and back, and for eating out. I had enough for food and paying for a third of a room.
I asked if I could stay with DrinkingHard and Jeff, Jeff being a good local friend, they said no problem - and since DrinkingHard was already picking Jeff up I asked if I could get a ride as well, since Jeff and I live a 15 minute walk away from each other.
The only thing I did not have money for was drinks and entertainment which I could have done without. It definitely made the trip much better being involved in different things, and I thank and thanked everyone when they offered to pay for something.
Regarding why I am 'broke' and supposedly not doing anything, I never said that I was not working on anything. The people I care to know what I am doing are the people who know.
The GFY prizes were good prizes, though as a whole did not create an instant solution for anything I had planned. I am using them slowly and will thank the proper people when the time comes.
How I won? I gave myself the best chances as possible by posting every 20 seconds which is the board limit inbetween posts. I also tried guessimating how many posts per minute there would be towards the finale to see around what times I should post at - though that likely really wouldn't account for much.
Some people who posted in here seem to not have all the facts, so please read everything said and make an unbiased conclusion on your own.
I hope the above clears some things up.
Cheers,
Matt
