That's an interesting question..!

In one instance, I would say no...I am constantly asking myself, "Why the hell would somebody want to come here..?"

But in another instance, I work so damn hard at it, I'm asking myself, "Who wouldn't want to come here..?"

Either way, it usually means I am trying to find unique and good ways to make members feel good about coming here...A site that bears a name I go by isn't a shrine to my cock, but more importantly a testament to friendship, mental stimulation, good times, and hot goddesses...Which is exactly what the name means anyway... /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I have met every goal I have set for myself with this site, and everything over that is just a blessing...Working on a years worth of blessing right now, and its getting better by the minute...I would love a place this cool anywhere...It has gotten me through some REALLY tough periods in my life, and being able to be involved and potentially touch the lives of so many people...Man, that is huge, and a dream come true...The thought that this site could be here long after I am gone would be a tremendous accomplishment for EVERYONE here...I honestly feel like this site is as much yours as it is mine...The size and scope of that is definitely bigger than I imagined...

Fellow AF Member based on your experience in the forums, rate AYHJA..!
(Not good at all - Not so good - Average - Pretty Good - Exceptional)

How would you rate AYHJA when it comes to:

His ability to communicate and keep a conversation going..?
Exceptional, Have never known A to keep things locked up. He speaks his mind.

His ability to flow, despite a lack of knowledge on a subject..?
Exceptional, A has always amazed me, much like raum to be a wealth of knowledge even when he says he isnt sure about a subject matter but when you continue to read his post, it appears as though he has so much knowledge just through sheer logic at time.

His willingness to learn about a subject he has little to no knowledge of..?
Exceptional, never known A not to want to learn.


Is there anything you would like to add about your feelings or dealings with AYHJA that other members might want to know..?

Damn now where do I start about this guy. He makes friends instantly I guess. When first joined the site(thanks to Luv, havent seen her in ages!!) A called me a smart arse lol... but through everything he has helped me tremondously. If I post something I know that if no one else, he will reply and not just a word reply but a genuine reply and tries to help in any way possible. I know one thing is that he has helped me be so much better at not just writing poetry and stuff but a lot of other things for which I'm very thankful to this guy.

After reading his profile, if you could ask AYHJA a question what would it be..?

Now what to ask, How did you come up with the orignal idea to start up this site with so much stuff on it and were your original plans similar to what the site is today?

Bro, that is a question I have almost forgotten the answer to, LOL...Believe it or not, I was PC savvy, but VERY new to the web...Because I was never able to get high speed, dial up really limited what I tried to accomplish online...

Then, in about October 2003, I saw Shauna Danielle in a video, and was determined to find out who she was...I found my answer in a shitty forum hosted by an online magazine, which is where I met x3n..Me and x3n followed through, got to Shauna, and then created her Yahoo Group...The group got to be extremely popular, got a few hundred thousand hits really fast...Looking for a better way to exchange discussion, I rememembered the forum on Slant, and decided to start one...

That forum was on an Invision Free forum, sometime in the summer of 2004...That lasted for about 3 months, and then I got into having my own site...That's when I founded all of my ayhja domains...The forum went through several changes, names, skins, fucking crashed, and had a shitload of bad luck (rereregister!) until in September of 04, I was left pretty much alone with handling the forum...I worked hard as FUCK, and eventually learned php well enough to manage the boards, and thats when on September 17th, AF was born on AYHJA.net...

The site mutated from something totally about Shauna into something more...I decided that the site should be a reflection of me and my interests, but also of the people here...I created the site originally as a sort of hangout, and this is what it has morphed into...Shauna still has her own forum, and always will, but now, there is something I hope for everyone...

Bro, I'd be lying my ass off if I said I intended this...I knew NOTHING of the internet...If you're lucky, you'll probably run up on my REALLY pitiful first pages on tripod and 50 megs, etc LOL...

I consider myself extremely lucky to have a site with such a great community as a foundation...

He's usually pretty good at keeping the conversation going, which is good because sometimes I'm just not in a good communicating mood. lol

His ability to flow, despite a lack of knowledge on a subject..?
Exceptional... dude knows shit about everything. lol Simple as that.

His willingness to learn about a subject he has little to no knowledge of..?
Exceptional here as well. I know he's been learning some shit with raum, and he wants to learn more about politics. I created the politics for dummies thread for him. He's not a quitter.


Is there anything you would like to add about your feelings or dealings with AYHJA that other members might want to know..?

Shit... dude is awesome. I first met him on HWB when I was made staff. Right away I knew the man knew what he was doing. I looked at DR and then I looked at Ja, and I knew right away, Ja was the man to stick to. Another thing that attracted me to him was his neatness. All of his posts were so fucking organized. It was bordering on insanity. lol I'm a lot like him in that way. I like to keep shit neat. eventually I decided to check out his site, and I haven't looked back.

I've always hated making large contributions to sites because it seemed like shit was always happening. People turned out to be assholes. I can't count how many sites I've seen close down. But this site feels permanent to me. I know it's not going anywhere, so I love contributing to it. I can't wait to post an article or a set of pics. Ja has done an excellent job with this site, and he's given me a lot of help with my site.

You can't say enough kind words about the man. lol

After reading his profile, if you could ask AYHJA a question what would it be..?

Question time, eh? Double D already ask how you fit all the equipment in the small wrapper, so I can't ask that... lol

What do you hope to accomplish with the site? Where do you want it to be in 5 years time?

Ideally..? I'd like it if you, me, and the rest of the Exercito and such found a way to make the site profitable, and we be full time mods of it, LOL...Bro, if I got rich, I'd pay you dudes to hang online all day, CDR...

Realistically..? I just want to be alive man...I really don't think ahead that much, I am such a day to day person...My asthma and such kicks my ass on a daily, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about it, asthma is something that comes on early and leaves late, however, it has done me the opposite...If have to grab the inhaler if I start laughing to hard...I'm starting to wonder more if all the things I did when I was younger would come and bite me in the ass...

But anyway, I want the site to be the center of the net for 1,000 people...I want that 1,000 people come here to find things and to find things out on a daily basis...I want people to come here, and like the site so much, they are inspired to create one just like it...In 5 years, I will be 34 or 45, I hope to have seen guys grow up, and new guys take their place...I want to see the people that I consider friends off and doing shit with their lives man, so in 5 years, we can have us an AF reunion and be a great big jolly group of fucks that the only common bond we have is AF...

In 5 years, it would be nice to say that I have met many of the guys that come here...I want to drink a few beers with you, drink w.a.i. under the table, puff a doobie with Mandizzle and x3n, do some time travelling with raum, catch the look on DD's face when he sees me scoping SB, beg Deepak to hook me up with his girlfriends friend, sqeeze luv on the ass just once, kick back w/the BZA, hear iMNO say "Man Bitches" in person, show Aemeth how to flow, swap classic porn with BFG9000, and kick LG's ass in basketball...This site is about friends to me man, and I want it to always be that way...I dont' know how many of you know it, but I work from home...Most of the time it is just me here, I don't have people I can chat w/at work....I eat lunch alone, have my coffee alone...I usually do my work at the crack of dawn, so by the time I'm done, its ripe for me to be on the site...AF means alot to me in that respect, I trust you all to maintain this wonderful enviroment we have...I am up on news, technology, entertainment, sports, AND the latest hot piece of ass...

That my friend, you can't beat with a stick...So in the next 5 years, I want more of the same, and for everyone to feel like I hope most of us do...
