forum.mylol.net – Fully integrated BETA PHPBB3 forum

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Wow, fancy title huh?

I’ve finally made it, actually the credits go to niflostancu for the coding as usual, and me for the bright ideas, damn I sound like Pinky and he’s the brain, or like.. Shoemoney and Dan Sulivan (*hope I guessed his coder, if not, correct me*)

teen forum

Hurray, hurray, hurray, works, fully integrated, the MyLOL Account name is the same as the forum, the template is embeded in mylol’s template, also the profiles show random photos from the mylol profiles.

What can I say, I’ll leave the forum open, and see what it can do, I’m not into begging for posts as I think it will develop nicely, since there are 10500 potential members.

Check it out: forum.mylol.net

As for the bugs and upcoming stuff, I’ll have to implement an RC7 QuickReply mod, I’m not familiar with bb3 yet. Also the mod_rewrite for the forum topics, and well, point integration.

Stay tooned

Giving WidgetBucks a go..

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

widgetbucks-logo.jpg

They are on the market for a while now, I’ve never tried them out as they looked like CPA, and also that I have found some negative articles (alot of them) on digitalpoint forums.

I’m trying WidgetBucks because others were saying that they are paid more than AdSense, and well.. worths trying.

My major concern is their support team, if I won’t have an account manager on my MSN/YM, it’s not worthy, believe me!

Account managers do the trick ;)

Convince yourself why my VPS Hosting rocks anything else!

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Convince yourself why my VPS Hosting rocks anything else!

Web hosting, uhm.. I think that in order to get yourself the best package, you either need to burn yourself a few times with different companies (*ouch, that’s me*) or get informed from notorious blogs/websites on the web.

I’ll show you, how to compare properly and how to chose a good host, and I’ll present my own case study, as I can’t seem to find anything better on the web than PulseInternet’s VPS Hosting. *At least not yet*

Free hosting

» I’ve started like this back in November 2006, I had my main website which is (mylol) hosted by a friend from UK for free. He had an ISP and oh well, I was a freebie junkie back then.

» You can’t have any requests for upgrade when you get hosted for free. You can’t ask for more.. and if you’re business demands it, you are stuck.

» You don’t have control over the server, you can get yourself removed anytime as it’s no obligation into hosting you *You don’t pay, you’re doomed!*

» Scared already of free hosting? Well.. you pay $0 USD, isn’t that great?

Web hosting (shared from Hostgator)

» On september 2007, I’ve switched to Hostgator, I’ve agreed to pay $10 USD per month for an incredible offer of 600 GB HDD, 6 TB Bandwidth traffic, etc..etc..

» So thrilled, 1 month passed, website got pulled off and suspended, luckily I was vigilent, noticed and emailed the HostGator support. I’ve passed the mail send limit. *What mail send limit? Isn’t this suppose to be Godlike hosting?* No!

» I’ve then managed to set site up, but never send newsletters to my users (I had about 6000 back then) – ouch! Can’t promote stuff, can’t make more money, half-doomed again!

» After the incident I decided to take a deep look into their TOS and search for “limitations”. Well basically, HostGator could have banned me at any time, and never refund, because of hidden limitations such as RAM usage, CPU usage and many other which I couldn’t basically control. I’ve paid for 6 TB of traffic, should hold a great site huh? That’s what I thought in the first place, but such hidden limitations could have exploited me so easily.

» You can check their plans: http://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml

VPS Web Hosting – Quad Core
(4×2.4Ghz Intel Cores with 8GB RAM)

- PulseInternet.co.uk -

» HostGator gave me a sour taste, I was actively looking on digitalpoint forums for a new hosting company, I wanted a VPS or a Dedicated server, I had to analyze the cost/effect to determine what to purchase.

» Jamie (PulseInternet support) contacted my via MSN, after he was reading a post of mine on DigitalPoint, telling me exactly what was about to shock me a few weeks later. PulseInternet is selling the best VPS servers you can find around *oh really?* – so what happend next? He told me he was looking for a big website, such as (mylol.net) to sponorship it. I wasn’t making more than $300/mo, but even if he didn’t want to be my sponsor, I would have bought a server, at least for few months to see how it goes.

» That being said, I told Jamie that the main issue is transfering the 15,000+ photos from my current host to his, and that there are several things to take care, such as gd library, php configuration on max_post_size etc..

» On 16 march 2008, I took (mylol.net) into maintainance mode (users couldn’t upload photos/modify profiles) and was expecting a half-day downtime, as there were 8 databases to transfer, and many several other domains, also setting up mylol is a pain itself.

» It took them 8 minutes to download from Hostgator, upload, create my NS, switch the domains, everything.
*woot?!* They did everything this fast? It’s called Mike, and it’s the tech support chief, he was the one working with Jamie to set everything perfect, as fast as possible. Worked like a charm.

» Okay, now, time to configure the WHM panel and play around, I had a permanent 3 hour assistance into swapping files from one account to another, modify some data in several databases, and everything else needed to optimize the Scorpiono.com network.

» I congratulated them, and well, I’m such a freebie junkie, it’s deep inside my blood, I kindly asked Jamie if he can make me an affiliate for PulseInternet as I knew that with such services I might make a few bucks as well.

» He agreed, set me up, and.. *woot!woot!* gave me a coupon code for VPS servers, for 20% off! – continue reading..

New home, incredibly hosting equipment!

Monday, March 17th, 2008

We have moved to a VPS server, running a quad core – all Intels.

I’m so excited, I’ll write about this event this week, stay tooned as we’ll compare together and we’ll find out why, my new hosting rocks any other (price&tech&support – you name it!)

*note:We’ve transfered tousands of photos, took us 3 hours, all their support team was mobilized and now everything runs smooth on Scorpiono.com network, even though I’m still playing with the server. *haven’t slept for 2 days now*

You’ll find out what I’m talking about so soon.. ;) Cheers!

Sounds interesting huh?! Well, I wasn’t even browsing the forums today, I’ve just seen it on main page of the forum as the most active thread, and obviously the link baiting title made me expect seeing a peon with 6 posts trying to get everyone on the forum rich! *Oh thank you thank you*

I’ve then discovered the secret, “making money with paypal as seen on oprah” – read carefully the message, and we’ll laugh at the end of the post and make some comments.

Make Lots of Money Quick, Easy & LEGAL with Paypal

AS SEEN ON OPRAH!!

PAYPAL VERIFIES THAT THIS $6 INVESTMENT SCHEME
IS 100% LEGAL AND IS A BIG HIT THIS YEAR SEE
THEIR NOTE BELOW OR ASK THEM DIRECTLY… THIS
SCHEME MIGHT TAKE 15-30 MINUTES AND JUST $6,

BUT IT IS 100% WORTH IT TO MAKE THOUSANDS SO
QUICKLY. THIS IS NOT ANOTHER SCAM THAT
TAKES LOTS OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY; THIS IS
A NO RISK INVESTMENT THAT WILL MAKE YOU
THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR VERY EASILY AND QUICKLY.

Making Money – This Really Works Keep in mind that everything
stated below is 100% legal as stated by the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161). A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups,
just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said
you could make thousands of pounds within weeks with only an initial
investment of $6.00! : Anyway it said that you have to send $1.00 to each
of the following names on the list, stated at the end of this article using
Paypal. You don’t have to be preferred or verified to transfer and receive
money, so you lose no money through transfers. Now honestly, what is six
pounds, especially out of a Paypal account. In exchange you will make
thousands in the first few months. You then place your own name and
email address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at
least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands of newsgroups). No catch, that
was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about
trying it.

I sent out my measly $6.00 to the six people on the list. Well GUESS WHAT!!…
Within 7 days, I started: getting $$$$$ in my account! I was shocked! I figured
it would end soon, but the CASH just kept coming in. In my first week, I made
about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00!
In the third week I had over $15,060.00 and it’s still growing. This is now my
fourth week and I have made a total of just over $26,000.00 and it’s still coming
in rapidly. It’s certainly worth $6.00 and 6 minutes to send it out. This program
WORKS, all you have to do is try it, and waste some pocket change. You could find
six dollar lying around the house. There is absolutely nothing you could lose. Just
follow the 3 basic steps below to make thousands in just a few days, weeks, or months,
it all depends on how many posts of this letter you put in message boards
or send as emails.

Here’s how it works: When you post 200 messages all over the internet, it is
estimated that at least 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00. ($15.00).
Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 ($225.00) Those
225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00) Those
3,375 post 200 posts each and 759,375 people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00) At
this point your name drops off the list, but so far you have received $813,615.00.
Note: I’m not saying this is going to make everyone 800 grand, but lets say even
1 person out of 200 tries this program, you are still going to make 50,000 pounds
anywhere from 1 month to 6 months max!!!!! You can also copy this letter and
email it to some of your friends and associates, it’s a guarantee that some of them
will be interested and give it a go, the more that do the more you make.

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Immediately send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list using
Paypal, and in the comment (Subject) section type “Please add me to your list”. Below
are the emails that you transfer the money into:

Paypal accounts to send 1 dollar to :

1) *censored*
2) *censored*
3) *censored*
4) *censored*
5) *censored*
6) *censored*

2.After sending the money to the first 6 people on the list, you can remove the name
next to the #1 on the list and move the rest of the names up one position (#2 becomes
#1, #3 becomes #2, etc?) Then place your name in the #6 position. Then save it.

3. When you have completed the instructions, take this letter and then go to
(Google, Yahoo,…) and type in (Making Money Message board, Money Message Board,
Money Forum, Free money Forum, or anything along those lines that are forums) and
start posting your copy of this message at least 200 times, to as many unique message
boards as you can, or more. The more times you post this at a unique board, the more
money you will make. You can email your message to as many people you can but
remember, the more you post and email the more money you make! Keep a copy of
this letter so you can use it a second time. Post it out again in six months, but Post it
with the addresses you receive with each pound. It will work better the second time.
Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those
joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will
work. If you don’t have a paypal account you can copy the link below and follow the
instructions. It’s totally secure, costs you nothing to set-up and is a very useful way of
transferring and more importantly receiving money. You will be amazed every time
you check your account to see how much money has been paid into it, and this money
goes straight in without any deductions. To sign up for Paypal follow this link or click the logo, just
make sure that you use the same email address for your paypall account that you
put in this list, that’s how your payments are made.

Ooookay.. *laugh time*

Let’s rewind this..

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Immediately send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list using
Paypal, and in the comment (Subject) section type “Please add me to your list”. Below
are the emails that you transfer the money into:

Hahaha.. *laugh more*

Did it work for him? Yes! *woot!?*

Why? Because tons of people have nothing else to do than to hope in a get rich quick.

Purpose achieved? Probabbly, as he might be a 1000 post user with a new registration, covered his things up, made a few bucks.

Worth doing it? For $50, maybe, but the time and effort is big, trying to write all that *crap*

I conclude by asking, how much do you expect that he made out of this dumb forum post?

Why am I having a PR3?

Monday, March 10th, 2008

The blog has one focus, and it’s content!

I’ve invested $0 in links, I’ve tried to linkbait 0 times.. yet! >:) Somehow, Google sent the love fairy, and I’m having a pagerank 3 on the blog. I guess people have linked to several posts they found interesting, and that’s it. No fuss, no stress.

I highly recommend going by the book, obviously the success is the sweetest when you aren’t trying that hard.
