Default Kinda Like FingerMonkey.

I am bowing out of the biz of being a webmaster, mainly due to finances (huge ones)...

I started my Blog on Blogger "LifeTime Gamer" in August 2004 on a whim because a friend at Xgaming, Inc. told me I should put up some of my gaming cartoons online so others could check them out...

So I did.. hehe

I even got that Blog to a PR 5 after a lot of work then it went back to a PR 4... I was lucky to inherit ExchangeBanners.org from the original owner who was just not able to put the time into it, so it was my really first Website that I had a database and around 400 members (tho not a lot were active) that I could play with and learn from...

As of now ExchangeBanners.org has around 930+ members, over 17-million plus banner views and a pr of 4 again not all are active but I had to pat myself on the back since the Domain is 3 years old and I seemed to double the membership in the short time I had owned it...

Sooo, I had some money from my Inheritance and I started LifeTime Gamer Arcade... It was a lot of fun playing around with the theme and stuff because I like doing that... I also had it at a PR 5 after a few months then after about a year it went to pr 4 tho the links page and all the game category pages are pr 3...

Then I got that free video site script and started LifeTime Gamer Video... Boy that included Template was a huge mess, it took me a out a week to get the thing looking the way it should cause whoever created it or copied it put crap everywhere and it looked like shite... Not that it looks great but it looks a Hell of a lot better than it did when I started... I got this site to a pr 3...

Thennnnnnnnnnnn, I bought Bass Fishing Resourse Center pr 3... You know one of those "Easy to Do Yourself" create your own sites and buy a bunch of licenses and then sell them off...

It was also fun since I have a lot of friends that I grew up with many many years ago that fish... It's a pr 3 also....


What started a lot of this buying domains was a kid on the G4TV forums that took my name "LifeTime Gamer" and registered the .COM... It didn't bother me at first until I saw his site and he was spelling it the same way I did and starting to create a site that was my original concept and idea...

Sooooo, I wrote Yahoo who gave him the .com and proved to them that I had 100's and nearly 1,000's of links to the name, graphics and any animations, banners, etc...

So I ended up with the domain lifetimegamer.com then came lifetimegamerarcade.com & lifetimegamervideo.com and so on...



Well after moving a few times over the past couple of years and not being able to find a decent job that pays enough to continue all these sites I am going to shut them down at the end of this month... I have to move again and my expenses are going up so far I will be lucky just to have a place to eat, sleep and have enough left over to make it to work...


Not sure when I will be able to be back online after the move but I would like to leave all my friends here with one of my Fav Duke Nukem Cartoons I did...

David Letterman Talks to Duke Nukem near Christmas Time about Duke Nukem Foerever...


Enjoy, there's a bunch of them on lifetimegame.blogspot.com tho they are spread out over the nearly 4-years...




Keith (yeah I am almost as old as the LTG character looks)... I've learned a lot from you guys but I really never intended to make a lot of money, then it was just fun....

Here's another of my Fav's about Duke...



Okay I couldn't resist, here' smy Doom III one.. hahaha




Okay last one....

I am starting to understand what the characters in Nightmare on elmstreet felt like. Man Keith you were always here and active when I first started about 8 months ago. I used to see you around stumbleupon also and it was good to be working my site with a guy with more experience. Your stuff is great man and I wish you a prosperous future. Life is full of peaks and valleys and finances can be fixed surprisingly fast God willing so hang in there cause I been there a couple of times in my life. I never thought I was sentimental but man what is next? RickyG dont post I might start to tear up dude alot of guys don't know it but I am a big time lurker and one thing that keeps me and my brother going is to see how many years you guys had worked your sites in this niche. Is this why guys in the army are so close after they come back from a war or something? Am I completely out of my mind to want to stay in this arcade niche? Totally not sure now but sure will miss your post around here Keith.

Warmest Regards & Best Wishes:
Alfred
