During that time I made a major mistake and lost control of one of my domains. That domain had every TGP gallery I had ever submitted from 1998-2006 on it. Those galleries still got nice traffic from archive listings and search engines. They disappeared overnight and took about 70% of my income with them.

So, basically I had to start over and have been trying a few different things with varying degrees of success and I have been doing some freelancing. I have a couple of big things I am working on right now, hopefully they will pan out for me and I can feel that sweet success again, only this time I won't be stupid.
