I am not sure your ?

that's easy, bodybuilding and fitness has been my passion for 25 years, being successful at your passion is the definition of true happiness.

Prince/Rob is so more knowledged and educated than any person I have ever met in this industry. Not listening to his advice would be the worst advise you ever took. As his gal, I used to think he was full of BS, but because of what he knows and what he has done, I have a few 1st place titles based on his training and recommendations.
If you have that, then talk all your shit, if not, Shut it!
Prince/Rob is the man to come to. He knows his shit.
If I was a NB, I'd listen to him. This is his passion and he knows his shit.

You didn't understand the question.

1. He had a great idea of a message board before Facebook came out.
2. Did the idea of creating a community along those lines come to you?

I had thought about many times. Obviously am not capable of doing what Zuckerberg did, but the idea is obvious in hindsight.

always 20/20

Understandable and admirable.

It seems like you were ahead of the curve as far as the future of the internet and its capabilities. Knowing what Facebook is worth, I figured you might have a little angst towards your decision not to progress along with your brilliant initial idea.

Some people don't want to become a Zuckerberg, they don't want the stress that comes with it, or they are happy not risking the investment of time and money. I'm sure many of us here are brilliant enough to do something similar or better, but we are comfortable just living life now, because that's the time gamble. Do you invest all your time now thinking you'll have time to enjoy later or do you enjoy life now and work hard later because what if you die after all the work is done.....I am a writer and I keep asking myself do I want to be a JK Rowlings and get all my work out now as a decent read or do I want to be a JRR Tolkien and work slowly on my book and create a masterpiece?

One thing that amazes me is the number of forums, whether we're talking bodybuilding or anything else, that are online today. when I first started this board 10 years ago (using UBB software) there were not that many, especially bodybuilding forums...now there are thousands...however I am very happy how far IronMagazine and IronMagLabs have come and I will continue building them for the next 10 years.

I've given more money to IM than FB, which I have given none to....Fuck FaceBook...
