What actualy Fredi does?

Way too many things to list. One important one is to moderate the forum to keep every one down before they turn it to a firy hell! I do not think 'entitles' anyone anyway...

LOL!!! Slam Dunk!!

5- 6 years ago webmasters were real webmasters. No software support all the software was custom(or most of it). You either knew what you were doing or you didn't-no in betweens. Most importantly, no neighborhood Starbucks back then for most of us- just the grainy stuff made by some grad student in the student lounge-LOL.

Today everything has been tweaked for you already. The software has matured to the point that all you have to do is install it and set the perameteres. If a problem arises its not a half a day of looking at code, its a search on the software vendors site for a solution.

God, my 16 yearold little cousin has set up his own ftp site, web site, forum etc.- Even the viruses are able to be made by novices-not that I ever wrote one ;-).

I think that description, fits the most.

Hey thats what I do(except the coffe, hate coffe), and I'm a developer

I wish it would be that easy.
Ready to go software just doesn't exists, despite the costs for something somewhat good are exorbitant.
However, all solutions we use are freeware/GNU and of course self written exactly to our needs. Just to keep all stuff secure and working under the extreme conditions is a good excuse to consume liters of coffee/coke

Sounds like a lot of work to me and... I guess you need to be online all day to monitor the posts...

That does sound like a lot of work... OK, scratch web-master from my list of jobs for when I decide to grow up.

"Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it."

well, it makes a difference if you are just employed, or if you are one of the dinosaurs of a website. You know Tom started with a private homepage almost 6 years ago and I helped ever since...

Sure we never planed or could foresee the future of THG. We just had fun doing a homepage (pretty rare at those days...) and get email feedback one or two times a week.
We did things after our normal jobs. Men, how things have changed
