Why should I leave, all i have done is told the truth and you dont belive me. That is not my problem any more!
The reason it made my site like it is, is because no one would be intrested in a 13 yr old boy's site. They would just think he got someone else to do it.
I don't agree with that. I still remember when I was 13 (I'm 25 now, btw) and I couldn't care then and I couldn't care now whether a site was made by a 13 year old or not. The important thing about websites is that one has something to say.
So what are you trying to say with your site?
Because the fun thing is, in the internet be "careful what you say, you just might get it." If you are trying to build attention for yourself (for whatever purpose is irrelevant) but you don't present your real person, you end up building attention to a fictitious person instead, and usually losing trust as a side-effect when people learn the truth.
The other thing I want to say, that it's important to understand the importance of trust in the internet. You might think that it's irrelevant how you behave when you are almost anonymous in the web, but it turns out that specifically for this reason people are going to build a mental image from the small pieces of presentation and behavior.
It's kinda like karma: when you enter a new community in the internet, you have essentially no positive or negative karma in the beginning, but it starts building: every time you do something good, or people find out your done something good elsewhere, they'll trust you more, and be more friendly towards you. Every time you act hostile or try to cheat or mislead people, or people learn you're done so elsewhere, they'll trust you less.
Now Brynet-Inc suggested you'd leave, which you can understand as an expression that he doesn't trust you enough to bother with you anymore. Once that happens, leaving indeed is usually a good choice, unless you're confident that you're able and willing to rebuild that trust.
Personally I don't care if you stay or leave. But if you stay, be honest and humble, both to yourself and those around you.

You posted while I was working on the above. I wholeheartedly agree with you. This conversation is getting exothermic for no good reason..
The real problem with goto is not with the control transfer, but with environments. Properly tail-recursive closures get both right.
