As you all know it was Oldiesmann turn to take questions form you guys but there is a slight change.  Oldiesmann is on vacation and wontbe able to take questions from you guys since I followed him on the poll we have decided that instead of skipping a week I will go first then Oldiesmann.

Now for a little about me.  I love computers as you can all know .  At first I started creating whack flash websites using Swish.  Then moved on to using photoshop.  I was getting pretty good at it but  around that time I started talking to a girl and left that behind to take out time for her.  Later on I lost total interest in design.  That's when I decided I wanted to get a gallery like their websites had.  That gallery was Coppermine.  I had no idea what the heck PHP was. I even create an account in Source Forge thinking that I had to register there to download it.  One I got it I was lost again.  That's when I started reading about PHP and found out what a database was.  Then came the nightmare.  I decided that I wanted to integrate Coppermine with phpBB.  I did that but didn't work like I wanted it to.  Then I wanted a calendar.  I broke my phpBB board trying to install the damn mod after it took me hours to edit them files.  Around that time Coppermine switched over to SMF.  Then my friend did the same.  After that I had another friend asking me to install SMF for him.  That's when I gained interest in SMF.  I started IMing [Unknown] and Oldiesmann me being a total noob asking for help on PHP stuff   Sorry guys for annoying you so much.  Then I got I really got interested and now I'm reading up on PHP and trying to learn it

6. What got you involved in SMF?
      Well I was a complete n00b when I first came here.  If you date back to last year and you can see the way I wrote   I ran away from phpBB and came to SMF.  Then I started to like it more and more.  That's when I became interested and learning PHP and helping people out.  It got to a point where I would spend more time in SM.org than in my own website and here I am
