I never said you make A LOT of $ from hypesters

I said that you will make money from their traffic, as you do. In your own biz plan you said you'd make money from traffic, ads, click throughs, sign ups; that's your goal. I never said you'd make A LOT and I don't think you will. There aren't too many boards that are profitable in and of the boards themselves. The boards are always just one part of the business, like yahoo and lycos, a free part of their site. I do agree that right this second you're probably not making enough money to pay the bills but that doens't mean you don't want to. Being successful has nothing to do with your intentions.

Again, I can post any amount that I think you're making and you will just say "no, you're wrong, I know the real amount but I'm not telling." There's no way to prove it. Why don't I just ask you how much I weigh. Whatever you post I'll just say you're wrong and I won't tell you how much, just like that ridiculus bit "guess what number I'm picturing in my mind?." A silly circle.

Again, Bob went into biz with hypesters, he worked for a couple of hypesters, working at a hypester site, with a huge hypester telling the principles what to do, bending to the whims of other hypesters, with a biz plan to do direct company paid stock promotion.
