Everyone remembers when they were a wee noob. At least, I do. I had no idea how it worked, but learned quickly.
Did anyone have any mentors during this time? mofocrew taught me the basics and helped me get settled in (he's in China teaching English now, btw). Since then I've also been taught a few noobs the tricks of the trade as well. As a noob I offered to do a site for mofocrew in exchange for all the teaching I need, and to my surprise a few noobs have offered to do the same for me.
So who taught you and helped you jump into the lake we call the freebie game?

Sounds like n00bsploitation to me.
I just watched the trading forum, it's pretty self explanatory.

I don't exploit the noobs. I don't ask them if they'll do a site for me. I just offer as much time as they need until the understand how everything works.
After I do that, some of them offer to do a site in return for the time I took. I don't ask; they offer.
I don't see how that's exploitation.

Haha...
But anyways, FON was my mentor. I doubt he remembers, but when I was a noob I used to IM him all the time and talk to him about his AIM profile link that showed all the sites he finished....
He's so dreamy.... 8)
