The bad news I guess is first.
HackForums.net is closed. My server was rooted this past weekend and to be honest...without my paypal account and with other problems I have had with owning the site I have decided to close it. I reached and Alexa 11k rank and 1.4 million posts. It was my biggest forum and website success. I started it April 2007 so that's nearly 2 1/2 years I sweated into that site. Before I did lose my PP account I was making over $1500 a month from the site and it was still growing. It's unfortunate but without the income to justify all the effort and time it's not worth keeping. So HF is done.
On to the good news.
Mybb Central will now take priority in my schedule. Since it's my #2 earning site I am going to work on it more and more so I can hopefully get higher earnings. I have a lot of projects and I know people have been just waiting for me to do more work. I'll probably start taking on client work again too.
At this moment I am facing a personal financial crisis due to the loss of paypal. I don't blame anyone but myself. I like working from home even though I make less than I would from a job. However there is a minimum I must maintain just to pay bills.
Anyways...I thought to share as I am sure people are going to notice HF is gone. So that should clear things up.
