How experience do you need to be?

Do you need a lot of experience or internet rep to make it big? IYO.

Personally I think that the more attention your site's getting, the more likely it is that something will go wrong (eg a hacking attempt). Your best way to mitigate and recover from incidents is knowledge and experience.

maybe, maybe not, but having a lot of cash to spend on your site/forum and to promote it, would out-beat your "internet/forum rep" any day...

No. When I did it initially in 2005 I was shit at foruming.

How experience do you need to be?

You only need to be experienced enough to be able to make corrections when needed.

But you have coding and you have errors and alignments. You need some knowledge in that.

Yeah, but these days the younger generation doesn't appreciate code like us ol'folks.

Sometimes I end up staring at HTML until I'm cross-eyed trying to find the one wrong character in one tag that's turned the whole page into gibberish.

But that is still better than one of those "WYSIWYG" cut and paste things that put a ton of extra garbage on it that it doesn't need, and when you end up with stuff that you do not understand on your own page.

Yes, I write my own page code for both sites.

And for a short article, I can write the thing with the <br>, <p>, and &nbsp; tags in place and have it ready to go when it's done.

I don't really care about my reputation or how perceive me. I am who I am. Take it or leave it.
