I guess all mods lost their cred. Or just me.

I like Jon and I like this forum.
But I don't feel there's enough REAL value being offered here anymore to justify a paid membership.
Sure, the banter, trolling, and debating is hilarious and entertaining. But I don't see people dropping knowledge-bombs or sharing innovative business strategies like they used to.
The best stuff has already been posted. And the most relevant stuff is being shared elsewhere.
resurrecting my account for this.
There is no mention of mods there.
Meh - whatever.

I love WF and this is where I got my start, and this idea sounds really awesome... but...
I don't buy the whole "change of heart" heart story about making money and now you want to help people (by taking their money while you do it). Lets be real here, you are doing what most of the old affiliate powerhouses are doing and trying to segue into a guru role for easy money. Not that I care what you do with the forum, but let's call a spade a spade here.
And this is nothing against you, but I think most of us have been around long enough not to buy the whole "Hey I'm such a successful guy, but I had a change of heart and lucky for you I'm going to teach you how to be successful like me. OH and best of all it's only $1997 a month!". If it really is about the money just come out with it and say "hey you know me, I'm a badass mofo and I got some knowledge I want to drop and if you're interested, boom here's what I got to share".
Every wannabe guru has the change of heart story. Maybe it's true in your case, but I've never come across a guru yet who wasn't simply trying to capitalize on their info after they couldn't do it anymore.
Just my honest opinion and if I get banned for it, whatever, but I'll be the one to say it instead of being an ass kisser.
I just want a forum that locks out all of the losers, and doesn't allow Google to index anything so that we can share info freely. At a bare minimum Jon's reforms will accomplish this. Anything beyond that is gravy.
Sure there's the private Skype chat rooms, but I personally prefer a private forum where everything is nicely archived and easy to reference.

Jon needs to make this forum private just like a few private paid only forums for ppc and AM if you are serious about it. Starting price minimum should be 99.99 a month
