I got 2 PMs from tednugent who has posted some rubbish in this thread. I am exposing the messages on purpose so that people like him(or her) on BHW realize that it's time to learn some etiquette and get real.
"Hey regarding this thread.
I dont wanna look like a jackass to the community. haha. I wasnt exactly trying to bring up my post count. I just felt that he asked a stupid question and that he could have easily found it on google instead of wasting forum space haha. Ive done tons of copying wordpress themes just to learn how over the years. But yeah, I didnt mean to post useless content. What I feel is useless is posting something like "good luck" or "thank you" haha. I have done a bit of that, but I guess I just shot myself in the foot by doing that haha. I sometimes forget this is a legit forum and not just a networking forum.
So yeah, my apologies."
------------------
"As I said, I dont wanna be a totally useless member on this forum. I wrote out a method for making at least $500 a week but cant post it cuz Im too new. When I have it up, then it should show that im not a total jackass haha. When i put it up, would you like me to send it to you so you can check it out? Id like to hear what people think about it and what I could do to improve the content."

Tednugent - I am a tenured BHW member so here are some lessons in etiquette for kids and newbies at this Forum, including you of course:
1. No question is stupid. None. If you think my post and thread is stupid I am sorry for you because you may be the one who is stupid though you might have a misconceived notion that you are brilliant(only you may think so). Also, learn to read posts and threads thoroughly before putting your finger to the keyboard. I don't think you even realize who you sent a PM to and the person who opened this thread. Yes, it is the same person. Read on, it's important for you.
2. You don't send PMs for things you should be doing inside threads. Publicly. You owe Blackhatworld a public apology for insulting a tenured member of the Forum. I would appreciate it if you did so publicly in my thread. Believe me you will gain some credibility. Seriously.
3. If you are not willing to talk about "illegal action" here, whatever that means in your lingo, you should look for posting elsewhere because you're just plain confused. I suggest DP where you will be able to fit in easily with the crowd and posts.
4. Don't be shy to gather inputs on your methods however doubtful you might be. In fact it is better to get your method critiqued than putting trivial nonsense in others' threads, like you have done here and then again through unsolicited PMs.
5. I am not reporting you to the Mods. I'd rather that you learn from your mistakes than get kicked out and do the same thing again and again, even though it may be elsewhere and then wondering what wrong have you done - throughout life.
Ok, folks lets get on with posts in the thread.
Well this is quiet the predicament. hehe. I apologize for my conduct. Im new to forums but that is no excuse for this. I just thought it would be better to discuss this in a PM, but if not that is totally fine. I do not want to come off as a "noob" in this whole thing. So again, I apologize for anything offensive that I have said and any harm that I have caused you. I really should have realized that a forum called black hat world would probably have things that are black hat haha.
I am on the forum to learn more about SEO and how I can promote my sites and increase my sales. At the same time, I also want to give back to the community offering what I have experience in. That experience would be buying and selling things from china. As far as being afraid of criticism on my method, I am not afraid of such. I want to post it, but unfortunately, I am too new to the forum to post it. In the mean time, I will be adding to the content of it to better explain certain steps. I was only looking to see what you felt about it and if you had any questions that I would be able to answer in the content of the method. I am not shy on it.
I very much appreciate you not reporting me. I have to say that I am a normal guy. Im not trying to promote anything on BHW. I think it would offensive to the forum and not be giving it the respect it deserves. I want to learn from my mistakes. Again, I appreciate it.
Once again, I do apologize for what I said. I tend to be a very sarcastic person in real life and I should remember not to bring that into the forum. So please forgive me. Ill be sending you a friend request after I post this thread. If you ignore it, that is perfectly fine, but I would really appreciate if you would accept it. I have good intentions and want to be able to provide the best content in the best way I can and I feel that I would be able to learn from you in how to do that.
You are correct, no question is stupid. I know a lot about html and know very well how to copy wordpress themes. I should have known that it might not have been known to others. It is simple for me, but for someone that is unfamiliar with it, it can be complicated. It takes a lot of reconstruction.
So let me offer to the thread what I know about doing it. Off the top of my head, I have never found a service that copies a wordpress theme. I am sure they exist out there somewhere. The way I do it is use HTTrack. It copies the exact output code from the website. Then I just go over it and input wordpress PHP code myself. It gives me more control of where things go and what I can choose to get rid of. If your not familiar with HTML or wordpresses code, I wouldnt recommend doing that. Otherwise, im sure a program exists out there, but I havent found it yet.
So again, finally, I apologize for my comments on this thread and anything of inconvenience for you. I hope that this incident does not scar me beyond what it is and I hope that we can put this behind us so I can continue to learn SEO and offer my knowledge on the areas that I know.
Thank you.
Btw, Thank you Moosey. That is the exact reason why I posted that way haha. I should probably explain this whole thing.
Back in the day, when I used to be a member of another forum involving hacking, the site had a raid by the FBI and it took all of its servers. A few weeks later, I got this delightful message from the FBI saying that I was posting illegal information on a public forum. Obviously, I got in trouble. I was a big time poster there, so there were tons of things they could have gotten me on. They decided to let me go because I was 16 at the time. I got away lucky.
This site seems like something that authorities would have in their sites because it promotes certain activities that would seem deceitful to certain people. I used the incorrect word with illegal, but you get what I mean. I had that altercation once. I dont want it again.
Ricky P. I truely wanted you to succeed in getting that wordpress theme, but I was not sure if I should have told you the exact way. I thought you were a newer member because I say you had a relatively low amount of posts (like me) and you have been thanked nearly the same amount I have. I have always found it better to point people in the right direction instead of just give them the answer. After all, if someone can learn how to do proper research, then they can find anything they need. I apologize to you that I thought you were new to this whole thing as well. I definitely posted the wrong thing in the wrong place to the wrong person haha.
I hope that we can get along. you seem very knowledgeable of the forum.
This the end of the edit. Thanks.
