Well, you see red, black, yellow and green names, so, yes, people are filling this. You don't have to if you don't want to, it's just for those who wish to have access to the private forums and stuff.

**jSonic** · 07-03-2006, 09:26 AM

I understand that but don't you think thats kind of personal?

**Fredto** · 07-03-2006, 09:33 AM

Don't fill it.

It's not like you're giving away you CC number or stuff like that.

Numbers are an approximation, and most of the info are kept private.

If Lee was asking for 1% of your income, I could understand, but the only price is a couple of info.

The only people who'll know how much you make (if you stay anonymus) are the people who make at least as much as you do.

I'm curious - where are these "hidden" forums? Where is the application?

**jSonic** · 07-03-2006, 09:40 AM

No, Im fine with giving away my monthly income but I'm a little concerned about this.

It's just something you don't ask an entrepreneur In my opinion. Don't get me wrong I think the Idea of different member levels is great, its just one of many ways to make your forum more exciting, but I don't think I'd ever tell anyone my most profitable sites, so I cant fill out the application?

**Fredto** · 07-03-2006, 09:40 AM

Application is here. Forums are hidden for the non-members of colored groups

**beley** · 07-03-2006, 09:46 AM

Got it, I found it a minute after I posted. Thanks!

**Fredto** · 07-03-2006, 09:49 AM

Identity: Maybe you can come to an agreement with Lee about not sharing your most profitable site, I don't know, I don't own the forums.

What I know is that he asks for it in the application. You have the choice to apply or not.

Beley: You're welcome :P

**RedMatrix** · 07-03-2006, 09:52 AM

Fred, I can see you like to help others. You are a great person. I hope to become online buddies with you one day.

**jSonic** · 07-03-2006, 09:53 AM

Your right Fredto, I hope you didn't think I was taking it out or you or anything. Lee I think you should reconsider the application for just that question, the rest are fine. Anyone else agree?

**Fredto** · 07-03-2006, 09:58 AM

Red: Yeah, I help people too much, that will be my undoing :P

Identity: Don't worry, I usually try to help and if the person just don't want to be helped, I just ignore said person and move on.

We all have questions or suggestions to make, it's only natural

**ForgottenCreature** · 07-03-2006, 01:00 PM

I asked to keep my most profitable site confidential and they still accepted me with the two I listed.

Plus, I don't think Lee is after our ideas, he does make more than most of us, if not all, already.

**Lpspider** · 07-03-2006, 01:13 PM

I think it really depends. I can understand why you'd want to keep it private, but there has to be some way to estimate/verify the income. This is a start.

**Payton** · 07-04-2006, 06:22 PM

There are plenty of other forums around, if you find it so personal then you don't have to give it out. You can still have access to the main forums without giving that info... I guess when you own the site you get to make the rules

**cpvr** · 07-05-2006, 12:35 AM

Yup, I filled out my application.
Don't like it? Don't apply.

**ScottyTee** · 07-05-2006, 01:09 AM

ahh its dead on I suppose

**Hexation** · 07-05-2006, 02:00 AM

I dont really see a problem with it really.

**jSonic** · 07-05-2006, 04:31 AM

One of the greatest things about being an Internet entrepreneur is that you can own huge websites, services or businesses without anyone knowing. Some people like the Idea of promoting their own name, some don't really care and others prefer to be mysteriously successful in what they do.

It's not that I don't want lee to take any of my Ideas, It's just I choose to remain anonomous from some of my larger projects, thats all. They arn't porn websites or anything, If that was the first thing you though of I don't think you really understand what I'm talking about.

It would be different If my best websites were turnkey arcade websites or myspace related sites, but they are more then that.

Anyway, point taken I wont apply.

**ltn1dr** · 07-06-2006, 02:01 PM

I listed my most profitable sites because I really don't care.

Obviously you're anonymity is your choice, and I think your username "Identity" was an unintended pun

Anyways, I think that if you chose to remain anonymous on the application...
