Sorry to rant, but I just have to get this off my chest.
I check out a few of the more popular internet marketing forums to try and stay on top of news, techniques and other things. It has gotten to the point where I'm pretty much just disgusted (like, I seriously feel physically ill) when I visit certain forums. The endless cliques posting the same garbage over and over while fleecing newbies with outdated techniques and strategies (knowing full-well they won't work due to SEO algorithm changes, or saturation of a specific site as a traffic source, or whatever) while the people who live on said forums and the ones in control of these forums work hard to propagate each others crap and blast anyone who doesn't bath their comments/websites/products with complete, life-giving devotion and glowing praise. Anything negative, or borderline negative, is deleted and bannable.
I'm grateful that Wickedfire isn't like the countless other piece of shit forums out there. This is, in fact, the only marketing forum I've seen where moderators don't silence whistle blowers who call people out on their scammy practices and bullshit. This is the only forum I've seen where people don't spend 15 hours a day trying to post regurgitated, 10-year-old, non-working strategies just to try and garner sig clicks to hock their garbage. When members contribute here (by posting a case study, or theorycrafting things, or whatever) there's legitimate value given that makes other sites look like preschoolers.
:thumbsup: for Wickedfire.
