When I started out, it was because one of my schoolmates had a website, and I thought what the hell. I started my own sites on my 20mb ISP hosting and got listed at PK when I was 16. The Xpics checks were worth (illegal) beer! I was happy. I'd still be if I got listed @ PK.
I'm now 23, and as naive and stupid. Still, I wasn't so stupid that I, at the time, admitted of being 16.
I didn't know shit then, I had no idea of BBS's or anything. I wish I'd known, I might be a bigboy now.
Guess this post was ranting, without any point.
