      Yeah, they know.

      They support me, but they don't bother me with any details.

        my parents know that I run a website, they dont know anything about it though. :P

        considering I'm only 17 they probably think it's some site that was wiped together and a waster of webspace... little do they know its a forum nearing 2000 members making me almost 2 bucks a day. :P

          Mines do, though they don't have a care about it. They don't use a PC at all, so for them it's nothing.

              My father is my forum's biggest supporter & top poster. He was involved in almost everything and he had even paid for the vB license through a money order because my CC was expired at the time.

              He often criticizes me for not taking enough care of the community, as he thinks.
              You're spending millions of dollars on a website?!

                Why should he, it isn't his forum...

                    My parents have no idea about my activities on the net. They are just waiting for money someday.

                          About the topic of parents understanding what an online community or msgboard is, .. I tried to explain it and they talked about it with my brother, and my brother purchased 3 licenses this year to power his sites. They still don't know exactly what it is, but they are excited to see we're all busy powering interactive sites using software

                            It's kinda like these forums, in that there's a chit-chat section etc.

                              Yes my parents knew that I ran a site years ago when I was 14 or 15. Right now they most likely don't remember that I still run sites.
