how are all of the oldschooler WF'ers doing these days?
- Thread starter dreamache
- Start date
this forum is destroyed. came back to ask about agentic AI coding. it's got crazy good since about Xmas. I was a decent PHP/Java/Android coder but nothing special, and Claude Code has changed the game. biggest mindblown moment since bitcoin.
I just think of the all the hardworking affmarketers here who made bank but couldn't code. now it doesn't matter
I'm a fulltime software engineer now in a cushy enough job so hoping I'm not shitcanned myself, might have to go back scamming, sorry, 'pushing offers'
anyway that's my 2cent. I realize no oldschool come back here and even my message sounds like AI/Indian/Spam when I read it back. but I've been here since that lovable NYC Jew Jon started this mess of a forum.

Same boat lol, still drop by from time to time, old habits die hard...
Really think that even a half-assed attempt at reviving this place would work. Or just sell it to one of the old members and maybe something can happen that way. Depressing af seeing what WF has turned into.

I still often type "wickedfi..." into the browser when I sit down at my computer out of habit or muscle memory, only to be disappointed by what I see. Just a bunch of bots, spammers, scammers, and a forum owner who doesn't give a fuck. This place once reigned supreme, but it's just a hollow shell now, with little to offer anyone. The forum model is dead.
WF still exists... I probably haven't visited for 10 years 
It’s been a few years. Started an agency. Trying to automate most of the offsite seo stuff at the moment.
Life’s clearly full throttle for you—family, content, endurance goals—so that back issue deserves real attention before it sidelines everything else; building a simple mobility + core routine and managing workload can go a long way. You could also check business.betterme.world, it offers structured wellness programs, fitness plans, and tools that fit busy schedules, helping you stay consistent while balancing work, recovery, and family life.

Damn, Contract here.
It's been so long, sold my business. Don't even have access to the email anymore. Found some old 2nd account.
Google search is fucked. Everything has changed. All internet friends scattered. Skype is dead. Lost all my contacts, except for a few. Miss the old group Skype chats; those were the GOLDEN times. Shit is so lonely now. These facebook groups aren't the same. The forums are all dead, including this one. Forums seem like the last place real humans interact; rest of the internet is fake/bot/ai/retards. Even slack died.
Everyone moved over to Builder Society forum, but even that is dead/slow. Wonderful place though. Made internet monies, millions. Couldn't have done it with the internet. Thank you all who mentored, supported, chatted, etc. It's wild and depressing to see how things have changed over the years. The wild wild west of internet, has been pretty much commercialized/controlled, or reduced to entertainment mind-rot trash.
Bring back blogs. I remember building backlinks to a blog. BUILDING BACKLINKS to a fucking blog, wtf. Today's youtubers, and follow my course bros don't have a fucking clue.
I suppose it was all about timing. Gentlemen, that era, was such a wild time of opportunity, before everything went to shit. Hopefully some of you took advantage of it. A reminder, shit doesn't last, things change. Windows close.
