    When did you start your first Job?

    My very first job was when I was 16 and I had finished school. It was a summer job that I did before I started college that year. I worked as a waitress in a family friend's cafe near the beach, was sad that it was only a summer job but was great as first job :)

    What should be free?

    Something I feel should be free for everyone is healthcare, they fact that some people worry about getting medical help because they fear they would not be able to afford it is awful to think about. Sanitary products for women are something else I feel should be free too.

    What is your favorite scent/smell?

    When it comes to scents I would have to say that French Vanilla, Coffee and also lavender are my favourites. Scents that are really sweet smelling I find tend to give me a headache so I try to avoid those.

    Would you rather have the ability to see 10 minutes into the future or

    Being able to see 10 minutes into the future would be something I would be happy enough to see. I worry that if I were able to see 150 years into the future how much I would see and then get people to understand what I had seen without looking crazy. It would also play on my mind a lot and that...

    Cannot go anywhere without

    Whenever I head out, I always have to have my phone with me. I use my phone for so much now aside from staying in contact with people for things such as making payments. I have on a few odd occasions left the house without my phone and realized pretty quickly that I did not have my phone so...

    You hear gunfire, what comes to mind?

    Living in England, UK and the gun laws being as strict as they are here if I were to hear gunfire where I live I would be very worried and would know something bad was happening. Unfortunately, as much as we have strict gun laws, some do manage to get guns into the country and we have heard of...

    Your favorite coffee mug?

    As much as I can drink coffee, I am still more of a tea drinker and I do have my favourite cup that I like to have my cup of tea in. It's a Harry Potter mug that has Gryfindor on it, love that mug!

    Anyone loves Badminton?

    Badminton was a sport I enjoyed playing as a kid with my friends, and brothers and also in PE at school. It was always difficult for me to keep the shuttlecock under control and took a lot of practice but it was always fun practicing :)

    Taking tests

    I always find that when I have to take a test I get anxious and super nervous and that never helps. Meditation or even just relaxing can help a lot before going in for a test but ensuring you have revised as much as you can can help a lot too, you will be surprised at how much the brain will...

    Do you leave a blog comment?

    I rarely leave a comment on a blog article unless I have something to say that would be of interest to the article. Most of the time I read articles for information or to help me with something I am researching and usually have no need to leave a comment.

    Approving registrations manually?

    I have always used email verification when people join my forums and have not had any issues doing that. I don't have anything against those who do manually approve as I know how much of a pain it can be to get an influx of spam registrations and if you have had that happen to you, manual...

    How do you pick staff?

    When I look into promoting members to staff members, I look at how dedicated they are to the community and whether they would be a good asset to the staff team. Those who seem to have dedication and enjoy the forum I feel are perfect candidates as staff on a forum.

    Do you believe in perma ban?

    It's not too often I have to perma ban someone but I have needed to do it in the past to some who have not been spam bots. Some things can not be tolerated within an online forum such as bullying, threatening behaviour and harassment. Those are times when I feel especially when they are really...

    Do you let members advertise in their profile statuses?

    I don't agree with allowing members to advertise their sites in the profile status section on forums. Most forums offer a section in which you can advertise your sites and that should be more than enough to share your sites. I always find using the profile status updates to share your link to...

    Should the Internet be free?

    I feel that really basic internet speeds to be able to do things such as get online to do home work, school work or even college and university work, some kind of internet package for those who struggle should be available but if you want better and faster speeds you should have to pay for it...

    When buying things for your site, do you pay right away?

    It's not too often I buy anything for my forums as a lot of things I can do myself but if there is something I need, I tend to look at the reputation of the person I am dealing with and then decide whether I would feel safer paying upfront or after I see the work. I know that the logo for my...

    Communicating with fellow site owners

    I talk to a few people on Discord and also on Slack away from forums who are site owners as well. I wouldn't say I speak to them daily but a few times a week would be the better number I could give as to how often I speak to them away from the forums.
