After Yoon designed Zunebards, he marketed it by exchanging posts with other small forums. In a few months, he had several volunteer administrators and moderators who make sure the forums were organized and all posts obeyed the site's rules. ZuneBoards now has more than 70 people working on it.
    Yoon decided to sell ZuneBoards to spend more time on his studies. He is a sophomore in high school and plans to try out for the foothall team. Also, he wanted to give some financial support to his family.

    "it's kind of hard to see into my future tight now, but I can definitely imagine myself working for my church, stating a nonprofit organization or even being a youth pastor," he said. "I can't imagine myself grown up sitting behind a computer all day making money while there are hundreds of millions of people who are starving and never felt love.
