It is my pleasure to announce that I have bought the Cre8asiteforums, and best yet, Kim Krause Berg will now be employed by Internet Marketing Ninjas.
Here is the official press release about Kim Joining Internet Marketing Ninjas, and the acquisition of the Cre8asite forums and blog.
There are many things that official press releases don't say, that I'd like to say to all of you.
To start with.....
YIPPYYYYYYY !!! I'm So Excited to be able to work with Kim and the Cre8asiteForums!!!
Thank you Kim.....thank you, thank you, thank you!
It's such an honor to be able to help Kim and the entire Cre8asite Community. This forum has been a large part of Kim's life work going back to 1998, and I know that there are so many others who have contributed countless hours towards making this community something really special. This is an opportunity I am humbled to have. The fact that Kim has entrusted me with the Cre8asiteforums....to say it's an honor is an understatement, it's an honor and a privilege....I'm excited...I'm a little scared. But my intentions are to, in a nutshell, "give you what you want to the best of my ability with the resources and time that I have available to me". My main goal it to continue working to earn Kim's trust and to work towards earning the trust of the entire community as well. I am here to listen to you, not impose things on you. Keeping, and growing the community is the biggest value to me.
I ask that you give me a chance to show that I am here with the intention of making the community more valuable to you. I believe that we can help each other...together, we can make the community something even more special than it is today....I believe in this....and I will need to rely on each member, each mod, and each admin, and Kim...because I haven't been in here much since I joined back in 2003. But, I am here to offer my resources behind what you want. I have many ideas, but in the end, it will come down to "What do you want?". I'll share my own ideas with you soon...but I mostly want to hear what YOU want.. in the end, it is YOUR community. Feel free to "Dream what you want" and we'll do our best to make that so.
I am extremely excited to have this opportunity to work with Kim, and with all the members of the Cre8asiteforums. I have been given the chance to work with Kim, in both helping our clients to improve their sites, and to help the Cre8asiteforms become what all of you would like it to be. I have dreams of creating wonderful forums that are run by the community, and I'd like to ask all of you to dream with me, and then let's make those dreams happen.
I respect all of the forum members
I know that of all the communities I own, that the Cre8asiteForums is really special in it's own right. For many of you, in many ways, it's a family. I am not seeking to change this, I want this to grow. Nothing is changing with the Admins or Mods, and I'll do what I can to keep and grow the community as you wish, so that there is even more value to all of you, the members.
I respect the Moderators, and Admins, and those have participated highly through out the years.
I have tons of respect for all you've done, and will work to support you. I know many of you have invested countless hours in giving back to the community, without your contributions the Cre8asiteForums would not exist. I know that you've been doing this, not for pay, but because you enjoy being part of this community. For all that all of you have done over the years, "Thank you". You've created something special here, and I'll work to preserve the good, and grow it, and improve it, with your input and help.
And most of all, I have the highest respect for Kim.
Kim is (and I image will always be) the main administrator. She built this community, and has maintained this community (of course, with all of your help)....and now, with your continued support, and with the help of some Ninjas, we can make this family something that sends positive energy around even more. I want everyone to be proud to be a member of the Cre8asiteForums...I will do all I can to work towards that goal.
Who is Jim Boykin?
Well, I'm almost always feeling lucky
... I'm the Founder and CEO of Internet Marketing Ninjas (originally was named "We Build Pages" from 1999-2011), which started as just me back in 1999, and has since grown to about 100 in house ninjas in Upstate New York. I have been lucky enough to surround myself with wonderful people who I highly respect. Last year we won a local Best Places to Work award (we hope to again this year), and recently several team members said some nice things about what it's like to be a Ninja. In early 2012 I also bought the Developer Shed websites which included several several forums including another internet marketing forum called SEO Chat. I often speak at several conferences every year. I'm also a father, a boyfriend, a tree hugging hippy, and someone who tries to have a positive impact on the world....oh, and now I'm the owner of the Cre8asiteForums, and I'm going to strive to help make this community something even more special than it is already.I love forums, and I love internet marketing, I grew up on SEO Chat and Webmasterworld, but I'm an internet marketing guy at heart...and have been since 1999. I love this industry more than you can image...and I believe in communities....and I see this wonderful community here. I see that for many of you, many of your fellow members are your friends...some even very close friends....there's a real family here...and I believe there's great power in communities, and I believe there's great power inside of the Cre8asiteForums community....and I'm here to lend my resources to helping to add value to the Cre8asiteForums. I believe in Kim, and I believe in all of you, and I believe in giving back to my industry...this industry has given me so much, and if I can help areas of my community, and communities with my community (like the Cre8asiteForums), it all tends to come back in the end....call it Karma if you want...but I believe that if my impact on the Cre8asite community is good, then my business will benefit....I believe that if I can help all of you to benefit more from being a member here, then we all win...and I'd like us all to win.
I am asking for your help and support and faith in me. My intentions are nothing but good for the community. Together, I believe we can all get more benefit from our membership and participation in the Cre8asiteForums.
I'm Feeling Lucky,
Jim Boykin
