Anybody know anything about this site.

SmashMyViper.com

Well, I guess there must be something going on as they have a new entry on their blog about 2 days ago about a new drill hole video.

The reason for me not posting the link to my new Forum(Experiment #1) yet is because I’m having some difficulty with phpBB.

Okay, I have two forums running that I installed, IntoShape Forum and the new Forum also running on phpBB.

These forums are one two different machines but with exactly the same configuration(I hope).

The IntoShape Forum is running very well at the moment with no problems BUT this other one is giving me endless problems.

What happens is when I start browsing the forum(new forum) - for every odd page I visit the visitor count goes one up. So I’ve checked the phpbb_sessions table and I saw different IP addresses logged(encrypted), but then found this cool tool that encrypts and resolves the IP addresses.

I then found that these IP addresses point to saix.net(through which my internet connection goes) is cache1,cache2,cache3 and cache4 . So I know it is going through the cache servers in Sotuh Africa. So could it be the IP address resolution methodology of phpBB that is shunting me around… and WHY is IntoShape Forum functioning correctly(checked it’s IP - just going through cache1).

phpBB kicks me out when logged in as admin and going to the administration panel and then sometimes it goes through.

I think the problem lies where the caching servers have set routed the addresses correctly or IP tables are abit screwed, OR maybe it is because the domain name is nearly a day old that some routers are not updated yet ….

Anyways, will keep figuring this one out…

Here is the expenditures that I’ve gone to for Experiment #1 so far:

Hosting and Domain (1 year)

$ 66

I’ve paid $5.50 per month for the hosting at Pulse Hostings (myself) and I’m now looking at ways to promote the site.

As this is a site about PTR sites, I was thinking of advertising on some PTR sites but still investigating.

Well, to start of my experimenting with SEO and making money on the web I’ve decided to start a forum to generate funds via Adsense and selling banner impressions.

I am thinking of starting up a forum like GetPaidForum where users can come and post their affiliate links and also come and submit their links to their newly created websites etc. .

I am looking at this project as an experimental one as this is unknown territory for me.

This would also be a very nice platform to push other sites on my portfolio and also use other users with an extra link to their sites.

I have registered the domain paymeforum.com and will most probably be using phpBB for the forum software… as it is FREE ..
