[Music] welcome everybody to another episode of
0:08
the seven sins Q&A episode eight and we have our guest star the site owner and
0:15
notoriously famous as a drain yep and we
0:21
have sheepish contra in the background don't mind him [Laughter]
0:27
all right let's get these questions on the road all right first question by
0:33
guards why do I have to carry you in the rocket League all you do is carry my
0:40
testicle both of it I'm asking read after why don't you play with me anymore
0:47
to carry man well it got boring after a
0:57
little while I needed some more excitement in my life need to dab some testicles on somebody else to carry
1:03
around yeah like Newport all right and guards
1:12
his other question before making the site what did you expect to achieve uh
1:19
so there was nothing really in mind to achieve it was more so I was sharing a
1:28
lot of information on multiple other websites and a lot of them got hacked and I would lose a lot of that
1:34
information so I got sick of having to keep a backup on my computer all the
1:40
time and it's to repost on every time the other site owners would have to
1:46
recreate their site so I decided to create my own and figured when the time
1:51
was up I can shut it down and be okay with it but it's still up and running and I don't see it shutting down anytime
1:58
soon all right so moving on to government
2:04
questions we have our first question about your pole vaulting record in high
2:10
school and how your testicles ever gotten so those gotten away and hit the bar a
2:17
lot of times in competition but income I reached 13 six in practice I reached
2:27
can't remember if it was 14 3 or 14 6 with a pole I ended up taking up with me
2:34
to state and my very first jump it exploded into 4 pieces so that kind of
2:40
ruined the rest of my jumps from there I ready yeah too much adrenaline going my
2:48
veins if you're a pole vaulter the term
2:53
blowing through the pole that's what I was doing
2:59
no he's government's next question is what do you so that's there's there's a
3:14
lot planned right now and a lot of it's in the works we've got some really cool stuff coming
3:19
that we probably will be detailing shortly in a newsletter we'll be sending
3:26
out to the whole site so I'll let I'll leave it to the newsletter to explain what we're doing and then after what you
3:34
see in the newsletter we still have a few other big projects in the works
3:48
let's just say I can watch all my rocket League League carnage with and against
3:55
guards from the website
4:01
all right and I believe a lot of the
4:07
staff know this but I can honestly understand why most members don't now but what do you do for a living so I'm a
4:17
chiropractor by day and then run the site by night is basically what it is
4:23
we're all so my wife and I are starting a new business as well so instead of
4:29
saying one thing or another I'm just gonna say entrepreneur very nice and
4:36
would you ever do something like a meet and greet with your fellow centers I've
4:41
done that in the past with a few to just name a few there was Jordan and I'm not
4:51
sure how many people remember game theatres is he's a much older member and anyone who remembers their old
4:57
administrator of venomous fire but then I've talked to Erin and neck say they
5:04
traveled to the US a few times and we just couldn't meet up and then Bohr and
5:11
I have talked about getting together and it sounds like Gallagher wants to pitch along and because the plan is to make
5:18
some smoked chicken wings and he wants to have you apparently all right moving
5:26
on we have Klaus and the first question is did you have any idea that so when I
5:39
started the site it was just to give information that so many other people
5:44
out there that knew this information they just weren't given up so it took me a while to really get a handle on say
5:52
the halo 2 modding the prior to the halo 2 modding I did a lot of Halo PC modding
5:58
and then the Xbox soft modding the information was there but any tutorial
6:05
you found online kind of left a lot of filming and fill-in-the-blank so
6:12
when I started it I just want to give the information to ever who's looking for it and make it as easy to read and
6:20
follow as possible so for me it wasn't about popularity is just whoever was
6:26
looking for the information that they'd be able to use it and do with it what they were coming here for so short
6:34
answer is no I wasn't expecting that to become popular but it's it's been a nice surprise and for the other two questions
6:43
sorry cause we kind of answered it previously
6:50
yep so next up we have have afro and he's asking why green so we when I first
7:02
started it we were actually called xbox revamped and the site was if you look at
7:10
our dark theme it was very similar to the dark theme but instead of green it
7:15
was red and then when we merged over to seven sins I ended up purchasing a
7:22
pre-made theme called be rocking and any old member will say that it's still the
7:28
best theme that we've ever had but what I did was I was a noob at Photoshop at the time and I found a really cool
7:36
header image that had some green in it so I started taking that green and putting it inside all the rest of the
7:43
icons on the site and ended up being the
7:48
old members favorite so we kind of stuck with the green theme from there on out
7:55
all right now coming over to skepta when
8:01
you retire from the site would you be passing ownership down that's a good
8:08
question so if you're saying passing
8:14
down to say like a staff member I'm not sure how that would work but yeah I
8:21
haven't really given much thought to selling but if it comes down to it I
8:28
know some other members have asked about selling and how much I would sell for if the price is right I'd probably let it
8:36
go when I'm ready but I'm not ready at this point the Internet's as you can say
8:54
a bad place I ran into a lot of bad people I got scammed quite a bit when it
9:01
came to hiring people to do some things on the site that start trusting the
9:07
wrong people so all those are more you
9:12
live and learn type things and those are experiences I want I wouldn't take back
9:17
so other than that I don't know if there's anything I wish I knew before
9:24
starting a site it's just been a fun rollercoaster ride at times there's been real low lows and at times there's been
9:31
real high highs so I think good and to finish it off what's your favorite sport
9:38
to play favourite sport to play that's
9:47
no that's it's almost every sport I love playing back here football Ultimate
9:53
Frisbee pickup basketball I mean I've played I've played in the
10:00
past baseball I wrestle I've done swimming not sure hit
10:09
everything besides polo almost in other words don't [ __ ] with us yeah done
10:16
karate actually I love playing backyard games anyone knows ladder golf or I
10:23
guess some people call it hillbilly golf that those from the Midwest especially in the south if you've ever heard of
10:30
washers we like plate washers bags or cornhole whatever you want to call it so
10:36
basically if it's competitive I like to play it as for watching I'm a Chicago
10:43
fan so I enjoy watching Bulls Hawks not
10:50
until last year's it's been horrible watching the Cubs and same with the
10:56
Bears last couple of years so but in the past few years I haven't been able to
11:02
watch many sports because the kids but prior to that I was really big into watching football every Sunday or I
11:09
guess Thursday nights as well on Monday night but uh yeah over the last few
11:16
years when I get time I really enjoy watching hockey yeah you know football
11:29
even basketball so I grew up during the Jordan era you know living in right
11:35
outside Chicago you couldn't be a Bulls fan he'd live in there and so back then you would have
11:43
you know them and Detroit Pistons who if you ever go back and watch old footage
11:49
it would make LeBron cry just watching it because these guys were rough they
11:54
they wouldn't get called technicals for little touches like they do now so a lot of these sports have just become for
12:03
lack of a better word pusseh fide so hockey seems to be hockey seems to be
12:09
one of the few sports that you can knock people around and people enjoy itself
12:14
saw only rugby was more popular alright yep
12:23
alright moving on to dance our first question is can you grill play xbox and
12:30
change the diaper at the same time you know that's a great question because I've recently had to do somewhat similar
12:38
to that so it's more like having a pause and take a break from the Xbox check on
12:44
the wings or steak or burgers that are on the grill and then hurry up
12:49
change a diaper and then if the meats almost done take it off the grill but
12:55
yeah you could say I'm off back to ask with that now what's your favorite beer
13:02
in state a favorite beer I don't really drink beer my go-to drink would be more
13:11
whiskey than anything but I do like you
13:17
know almost any hard alcohol vodka a spiced rum even tequila which a lot of
13:25
people shy away from but in turn yeah in
13:31
terms of steak I mean can anyone say there's a greater cut than a filet
13:36
medium rare or rare steak yep Li mignon
13:46
you do modern lobbies no question we got
13:54
so far
13:59
yep your title doesn't you know say it aloud enough I guess how do you feel
14:14
when you beat Robert and operation yeah
14:19
so they call me out on discord acting all tough talking trash thinking that
14:27
they were gonna have it in the bag I think I let them have a 2-0 lead just to make them feel good and get a little
14:33
comfortable so then they started getting a little yeah getting a little cocky I started trying to blow me up and that's
14:41
very much when the game was over yeah I
14:51
sure hope we get to show that cuz that come back I think it was what was it I
14:58
scored to tie it with just two seconds or zero seconds left and then won it
15:05
from a great easy pass in OT thank you very much Robert in operation you guys are awesome by passing all right we went
15:15
on to WWE why are there so many wannabe
15:22
well when you're not a cool kid you want to be a cool kid so that's that okay all
15:39
right how do you come up with premium
15:48
was more just because all the rest of the sites were doing it that I had been a part of and I needed a way to help
15:56
fund the site the server the cost of running things and because when when you
16:04
first start a site and you have no traffic make no money to ads and our
16:09
very first premium member tinder I believe he paid twenty five thirty five
16:18
bucks for a lifetime premium at the time we got a deal yeah six months what's
16:29
that at the beginning yeah six months into it yeah I don't remember I think it
16:35
was only like three months and to be honest because then that that let me put
16:40
the money towards hosting which we really needed and the the start of the
16:47
site was kind of funny because Google did not get back back when I started it
16:53
and anyone who starts sites now will not understand but back then Google would
16:58
sandbox a site and you would have no idea when you'd come out of the sandbox
17:04
and the sandbox is basically if you search for the site it won't come up
17:10
so our first like year yeah I think it was about a whole year we were in the
17:17
sandbox and so within the first three months even without being in Google I think we reached over 2000 members and
17:25
that was just all through word-of-mouth and so once we were in
17:33
looted in Google we started getting a lot more traffic which then I ended up
17:40
having to go to a dedicated server around that time which again if you run
17:46
any sort of site you know that dedicated servers are cost a lot more than the
17:51
shared or even VPS servers and how do
17:59
you feel when people say I don't know if
18:07
I feel autistic or or dyslexic all right
18:35
slide into some of the DMS on couple of your questions as in my balls out but we
18:44
will enter your last one which is what is your favorite topic to venture on so
18:56
my favorite section is they actually general discussion and the sub forums I
19:01
like to hang out there see what people are saying and thinking I like to know what's going on in members lives and
19:07
reach out to ones that are having a tough time and then in terms of other
19:14
topics I mean I play Call of Duty bracket League that's that's pretty much
19:21
it in a lot of the information in those sections I haven't really needed to look at but I'll post a few things in there
19:29
if I know something then or if I find a nice set up saying call it booty I'll post that
19:37
right and moving on to Slim Shady
19:58
[Laughter]
20:23
exactly all right but this serious question though is did
20:29
you ever think seven cents was going to grow to this big of a cider as it now yeah so I think I mentioned a little
20:37
earlier button yeah short answers no but it's it's been fun the whole time seeing it grow talking to
20:45
a lot of you know the new members who do reach out for me I'll reach out to sub
20:50
members and it's fished I think I mentioned it quite a bit in all my posts it's we're a growing family and I and I
20:58
look at only crafty would know what do
21:22
you think out of the entire history of this was the toughest time for the site
21:29
it had to be those first few years between so when I started if you if you
21:36
read the history you'll see at all but one of the guys that helped start the site he was he was a real character
21:46
before he went off to juvie he had stolen some source code from the most
21:53
popular halo tube modding program at the time which I think was dot halo and
21:59
called it his own added his own graphics to it and that cap the halo mods community really pissed off and at from
22:07
that point forward I think there were some really upset people in that
22:12
community who just ddosed us constantly for a couple years I don't know but anytime you start
22:21
growing you're gonna piss off people so as we got bigger people just wanted to
22:26
either hack us or DDoS us keep us down we've been down for weeks at times I
22:32
think at one point a month or two at a time so I'd say those are the toughest
22:37
times especially because I started the site while I was in great undergrad school and so I would have to be doing
22:45
my studies while trying to figure out how to get the site backed up when I didn't even have the knowledge to get it
22:51
up and that's where some of the scamming happened I got scammed when I hired people to fix it so and yes the times
22:59
where you thought it was probably gonna be then for the same no cuz I wasn't I
23:05
wasn't ready for it to be done so I was gonna find any way to get it back up
23:13
see people as it loves you I love you was that creepy alright you still keep
23:24
in touch with any of the core members
23:31
hey I keep in touch with let's see you
23:40
probably have never heard of him and it's hard to find them in the database because he spelled his name cash for the
23:46
S was the dollar sign I'll email him every once in a while cash money
23:52
yeah but the ones that really started it like undead cool I don't know what
23:59
happened to him he ended up giving his gamertag to his brother and his brother would never talk to me and then the
24:06
unknown seven is probably in prison or dead now so yeah who else at one point I
24:16
partnered with gung-ho guns which again all these people most most you guys will
24:22
have never heard of really but I keep in touch with him I keep in touch with the Pope
24:28
43 Forest Master my memory is so poor I
24:37
still talk to venomous fire so people won't know who that is or should because he's he he's been around for quite a
24:44
while yeah and then there's you know crafty still on the site so he's still
24:50
alive and kicking when you're a part of
25:00
the site for so long because he was a part he started this with me near the
25:05
very start he joined up because he was a part of another site I think is the
25:10
moderator if I remember and the site he was a part of was attacking us you know
25:18
just saying mean stuff about us and he was the one that stood up and said yeah
25:23
you guys need to cut it out and then I contacted him thanking him and
25:28
you know we lived happily ever after after that the end yeah yeah I'm trying
25:36
to think I know there's some other members I still talk to every once in a while but uh yeah I try to i p.m. a lot
25:46
of them like if you remember me mentioning tinder I messaged him within
25:53
the last couple months and how he's doing his body h2o p2 also helped us as
26:01
staff on the site but someone was able to hack his account so I haven't been able to message him but I let tinder
26:09
talk to him for me so uh yeah I just try to reach out and when I when I don't see
26:16
people on for too long I'll I'll send them a message see how they're doing how life's treat them yeah you know what's
26:25
nice is I get to go back to the members list and scroll through it yep well I
26:35
mean it's it's short if you start at number one you go through and look
26:41
through usually the retired names or ones that have more than 500 posts
26:51
so this is probably going to be a really hard question but what is the best
26:56
memory on this site what are you gonna
27:01
add to that I was just going to say if it's the best memory let's see for me it
27:22
so a lot of people know a lot of new members don't but I've grown out of
27:28
modding ages ago and so my best memories were when I was really helping a lot of
27:33
people learn how to mod halo to teaching
27:39
people how to softmod so that's that's the start of the site even though it was also some of the hardest times it was it
27:46
has some of the best memories quite the
27:53
time moving on to original organelle
28:00
dyslexia yeah artistic original another follow I'm
28:08
gonna have to control you again vana and let's see we'll just answer the third
28:14
one would you make a sister site if you wanted to a sister site being another gaming site
28:21
if it's referring to another forum now starting forms up now and I'm watching a
28:29
lot of the newer sites because I'm I'm pretty active in the web webmaster
28:37
community admin communities it's it's just too hard to run forums nowadays it
28:44
takes a lot of startup capital because you would have to do a lot of advertising to beat sites like like ours
28:50
or IGN or even Xboxes forums just to get a link on the first page at Google so
28:57
I've seen their forums are completely empty yeah yeah like like I know one guy
29:08
he's been doing gaming forums for a while slightly he's kind of stupid
29:15
because he keeps resetting his database because he wants to restart stuff but
29:21
even with all of his knowledge and experience his site has I think 2,000
29:28
members after like three years so it is pretty hard nowadays but I did make
29:35
mention I'm starting up another business with my wife it's an e-commerce business so not quite a sister site but hey I
29:43
will be doing a lot more in a web businesses this new business does well
29:49
you can expect some of it of course this
29:56
is my baby I want this thing to beat out sites like IGN and even Xbox I want when people
30:03
think Xbox don't want people think sevenson it's hard not to
30:09
I think for the longest time we're the ones that actually had to have Xbox and
30:18
all these game publishers about paper contracts oh yeah we're forced on their hands but too bad
30:25
they have to be kind of crummy about it and banned me for just owning the site
30:31
because I'd actually like to have relationships with these you know game developers and fact they should be using
30:38
our community to figure out their exploits to fix them before launch you
30:45
know yeah well they're now launching
31:05
these games premature basically they're
31:10
just into these micro transactions and PLC transactions nowadays wasn't like
31:15
that back when I first started game and you'd get a full complete game and now you're getting this half-assed we'll
31:22
update it but over the course of this next year just for you to be able to enjoy the game finally so like thinking
31:31
Call of Duty I remember Black Ops it took months what black ops 2 I think it
31:36
was took months before it wasn't it didn't feel like you were lagging
31:42
constantly and so these game developers and these companies are just kind of I
31:49
mean I'd go as far as calling them lazy and greedy all right and we have pump
31:57
with the question answered by movie which is is this site your only job cuz I'm
32:05
pretty sure he's so crack on the street they're privileged kids during the day
32:10
yeah oh he would know he's one of those underprivileged kids no yeah I kind of
32:23
answered this earlier I'm a chiropractor and then work on the site and working on
32:28
another business which shall begin to right after this all right now for some of hoby's
32:34
questions oh yeah phisycal yeah this one
32:40
the left nut hanging a little bit lower than the right and could you crack through back I know what asking for a
32:54
friend mean Toby so if you want we'll have to do the whole [ __ ] test make sure your one side is hanging lower than the
33:01
other and then we'll have to crack the back and retest that so no I do
33:09
I think his back was already cracked and I but and what's it like being
33:21
for every I've been a fan since before
33:26
you were born child done is there any more dynamic around so he
33:41
already answered yes no or the one to you know we read our minds and we start
33:48
flying in the air before the ball even hits the other guy's car and then that ball goes flying right into whoever's up
33:55
in the air already and it just magically goes in so the answer is for sure no all
34:01
right and at this point in time what do you feel is the biggest strengths have
34:11
always been the community by far the member base is I don't think you could
34:21
match it I don't even think you couldn't even get close to matching it we have some of the the greatest people on our
34:27
site the attitudes and just willingness
34:33
to help anyone and everyone is what makes us so great and what's what's
34:38
really what really helped us launch the site really back when I started the site
34:46
one of the things that I hated about being a part of all these other sites whether I was a staff member there or a
34:53
member was the staffs attitudes they were these pompous I'm not gonna share
35:00
information because you got to go figure it out yourself types and so I didn't
35:05
want that on our site and I let that be known when I was picking staff when I first launched was we're here to help
35:13
people and I think by leading by example that that's helped with the I guess you
35:23
could say the younger members not so much the newer members but the ones who got the help and know the information
35:30
see that new members are looking for information they're helping a lot of people with the
35:36
same questions they had when they first joined the site and so in Ted in regards
35:41
to the biggest weaknesses biggest weaknesses we don't have magic I wish I
35:49
could snap my fingers wave a wand be Harry Potter and be like all right homepage done shop done spoiler I was
36:09
like oh and have it up and running because we've got some great ideas and
36:15
these ideas are really big complex ideas that is taking Nick's a while to code
36:22
and he's getting the framework done to make it expandable to allow us to have
36:28
big growth and then if we want to modify or extend these yeah yeah so we we just
36:43
can't snap our fingers and say something done right so moving on to Blake what is
36:51
your average morning routine besides protein morning routine I get up get
37:03
ready for work leave the house I don't do breakfast that you intermittent fasting and I usually skip lunch and
37:09
have a decent sized dinner yeah so yeah
37:16
so my morning so on on on the days I go into the office that's what I do on my
37:22
days off I take the kids we have good morning with my wife rest up
37:28

38:48
crafty oh yeah and with all asana what was your
38:56
high school like for you um let's see
39:02
I'm not sure exactly what this is asking but like he's probably asking was easy
39:10
was it hard was I have part of a clique any of that for me school was kind of
39:17
hard up until about junior high school that was after my parents made me get a
39:23
job this is while I was also at sports and I saw people who were at the time it
39:32
would have been for d2 it may be a little more than 50 years older than me working the same or similar job I am
39:39
making roughly the same pay I was and I knew I didn't want to be in that position at that age so I started
39:46
buckling down and what I found out I really took a personality test and I
39:53
came as entrepreneur and what it says about our personalities is school is
40:00
tough we don't like the structure of school and we don't do well until we
40:08
realize it's a means to an end so for me it became a means to an end to get a further education so then get a better
40:14
job and then after me led to becoming a chiropractor and then the rest of the
40:21
high school I mean I played sports so I guess you'd say I'd be considered a jock but I wouldn't
40:27
say I was a part of that jock net clique I enjoyed being around anyone and
40:36
everyone I had friends a part of it any and every such clique but for the most
40:42
part I just enjoyed high school in it that's that's when my wife and I started dating we did it at 16 oh yeah yeah so
40:52
high school was good we had a good time with high school and we lived of 20
40:58
minutes outside of town so it was 20 minutes away from our hour high school and in this area cops won't
41:05
be coming out so we would we would enjoy different activities out and around the lake that we lived on and not have to
41:13
worry about getting caught so like I said we had a great back I guess I
41:19
answer civilly a little bit about question I mean if I explained it I
41:35
don't think anybody could handle it so we'll put it that - good yeah
41:49
at least I hope so and for one of our newer members erect CEO 2001 what is
41:57
your first experience with computer in concert my first council was the
42:07
original NES and it was playing Super Mario Brothers 1 and combo with duck
42:14
hunt and I always wanted what my neighbor had and that was the one also
42:19
with the track and field one with the pad you had to stomp on the pants to get him to run and jump all that so that was
42:27
my first experience with a council a little later I kind of went retro and
42:34
did at Ari and then the next council after that was the Sega Genesis Hey yeah
42:42
that one was all Sonic 1 2 3 sigh OH
42:51
there was a game that I don't think anybody is really heard of and if you run any sort of emulator you got to try
42:57
it it's called Boogerman Oh have you heard of it it is awesome so this guy flicks boogers
43:06
at his enemies to kill them and farts on them to kill him no Joe
43:13
Oh try it it's a good laugh I just
43:18
posted on leaked rates Twitter about a character I look around and nobody could tell me who it was it was the first bomb
43:30
and then in terms of computer my first game on a computer that's the first one
43:38
I played was doom then Wolfenstein 3d
43:43
and doom 2 I want to say or there was actually a doom Ultimate Edition I was
43:50
so I had a combo of them and then I think I had road rash NBA Jam later this
44:00
is nothing I think it quake until I was older I can't remember when but yeah
44:07
that was later but I did play it on my uncle machine and then my parents at the
44:14
time would not let me get Duke Nukem 3d and if anyone's ever played that old-school game it's because of the he
44:25
throws money at strippers part and they they would really take off their tops and someone told my parents about it
44:33
when I said I wanted the game and there I helped no that's that voice acting was
44:40
the best for good Lucas oh my god what
