I personally haven't had that experience but my dad has.

And i do understand about a family of 6 I can understand that it must be difficult supporting that many people.

What do you do apart from your vbulletin.com work

In addition to vBulletin supoport, I get pretty good sponsorship income from my OptiBoard page. I also manage a private website for an eyecare industry group and occasional write freelance technical articles like this one:

BTW, as a side note Steve, have you ever put banner ads on your pages? If so, how much have you made (if you don't mind my asking)? I'm wondering the possibilities for my site given that hosting and vB licenses aren't free

Yes, if you look at my forums you'll see a banner ad in the upper right hand corner and two sponsorered forums. I rotate the banner between the two sponsors. I also have a sponsor for my monthly newsletter.

Sorry I can't divulge the income but keep in mind I'm in a unique position. This is a professional industry forum and it's the largest of it's kind in the world for eyecare professionals. In essence I have no meaningful competition which places a premium on advertising on my site.

That's the bad thing about having fun in bedrooms with other people of the opposite gender (what, we play videogames!), supporting them is a hassle

No, I''m not a programmer which explains why I don't offer much help with hacks.

I have to say the the advantages of this far outweigh any hassles.

Yes but i'm sure it must be great to be able to support 4 children and see them grow up into little mini steve's

Yes but your a vbulletin support man so surely you can code - there's so much money to be earnt in freelance coding and you could earn loads being a vbulletin dev
