Right so check it out..
There have been many posts and debates going on around here for the better part of a month. The primary points are being addressed right now in this post.
If you don't see the answer to your burning question, then join and pay the crazy cheap price and ask someone then.. unless it's a medical question, then you'll just be trolled and deserve it.
Back to being serious business. There is little reason to get into why we did things this way. Just accept that this is how things are going to be and that this change here is tiny by comparison to how things will be by the end of this year of our lord, or your lord, 2015. I assure you, none of this is hype. I'm taking the opposite of the hype and gimmicky route purposely so that you may look back and see that if I did want to go the sales route, it would be a hell of a lot flashier and woven with gimmicks of the greatest bullshitters known to man, than this lil post up.
The Basic paid group is just that in it's rough form. You pay a monthly fee for now and gain access to the chock-full of unique and inspiring content that this place has been known for over the last nine years. We also tossed in a few extras such as more PM space, no more pw changing captcha requirements. One of the bigger changes you'll notice is that you will not be allowed to comment or post responses in specific content labeled sections. The reason for this is based upon the fundamental strategy shift we're going to be practicing from now on. With that
I could have gone the TLDR route. For real. But for those of you in tl;dr mode with business and content that will change your mindset and hopefully your entire approach to doing business on the internet, you are shorting yourself and ultimately wasting your time and ours by being here and asking for that specifically. There will be summaries in TL;DR form, but the point of the private sectioned off areas are to divulge full detail.. outting is preferred.. (not of your gay best friend kinda outting). If you think that outting will damage someone's business or marketing campaigns, their seo or sem game, their financing strategy or give others ideas altogether, then you should not even mention it at all, and instead keep quiet, to yourself, and no one will bother you about it.
For those concerned about trolling, or people being overly harsh or critical for no purpose than to be a total dickbag, well good news for you, because that shit will not be tolerated in any of the paid sections, regardless of content focus.
There are a few sections that will remain gated off until the end of the year when they and their contents are revealed as a finished product. Much of that takes many months to source and put together. They will be introduced as "Anatomy of [insert industry or style of making the monies or how it really works here]" reports. Everything, again to maintain total integrity will be fact checked and sourced/referenced so that you know full well, the blueprint that you are reading is the real deal and the risk that one would normally need to take in the unknown will now be known. Nothing of this caliber exists today that I know of. My lawyer told me to please avoid doing one on how to profit from very touchy and sensitive topics. I'm still mulling that one over because they would be fascinating as all hell to finally get out there!
Finally, it's important to note that if you are to join right now, and pay the tiny $46 per month price, you will get access and not see many differences around. That's because all of this is a work in progress. If you feel that this is a shitty investment and not worth your precious time and dollars, that's fine, please shut the fuck up and just keep your holier than thou opinion on why anything that could make you an ROI of epic proportions is not worth accessing unless it's free or cheaper. Also, by not paying and staying out here, in the wonderful free zone, you'll be experiencing our onset of expansions by welcoming folks from other fun groups and forums that you'd never think we'd ever allow over here. But, you will have deserved that and maybe then you'll wise up, join or just leave.
Will paid members get priority attention? You betcha. We're trying to spend less time on the free sections and more in the quality focused private sections. Adding value is paramount and never ending. But please be realistic and don't expect us to bend over backwards for you or let you treat us badly just because you paid a fee. Because then you'll be banned, payment or not, and to get back in, your fee will be, double. We mean it.
I'll clear things up inside there by the end of this month, so go chew on the content there right now, enjoy the extra pm space, speak freely but don't be a dick about it, and please, dickroll the fuck out of everyone on the free side beginning next month.
You may PM Grindstone for any long winded questions or comments... but if he suggests you join a different forum, please let me know so I may act accordingly.
There will be much shorter and far more gimmicky sales pitches by next month advertising WickedFire in general. I hope you're safe and sound in the super sparkling premium paid section before that.
PS- Affiliate marketing and SEO/SEM stuff are both very important secondary strategies that will each have their own sections privately. All sections will soon include both a READ ONLY area, where all of the content is deemed legitimate, factual, etc. and a 'chat about this shit' thread for collaborating and just being active forum folk. Trolling won't be tolerated nor will anything that goes OFF TOPIC in that chat space. -- We want people to hang out in specific areas designated for that and to not go zooming off into ADD land of off topic nonsense, which is why it's going to be read only and topic focused moderated.
I wanted to offer blowjobs by my ex-gf as a complimentary bonus but I was told that it was a bad idea and not very tasteful (I mean, if she's the one doing the mouth stuff, why is taste my concern, amirite??) :321:

Oh yeah, and if you read all of that, thanks, and if you maintain an active membership until end of November and respect our request for patience while we get things situated and re-written for you, then we'll give you two Anatomy Of reports, one business focused and one social/entertainment focused, complimentary as a thanks for being cool about the mess. The price points on those are worth many bitcoins. Yes, we will accept those too...

One of the bigger changes you'll notice is that you will not be allowed to comment or post responses in specific content labeled sections. The reason for this is based upon the fundamental strategy shift we're going to be practicing from now on. With that
- Unlimited access to the best of the best content that was produced exclusively for WickedFire by all of it's seasoned and mostly respected leaders and business owners.
- Increased Private Messaging options, both inbox and sent folders -- We'll be increasing those again after the next major update so you probably won't need to delete anything again or worry about weird rules for it.
- *Privacy* - I'll be leading the charge by openly discussing topics in great detail with many others without worry about the content being indexed by search engines or read by those who just shouldn't be allowed to read it in the first place.
- *Just the facts ma'am* - During this curation of content period we've hired a small editorial staff to handle and do this thing called FACT CHECKING because content on it's own around the internet and other forums are mostly speculation and opinion based. Facts are real... because, they are facts. I know, genius level 400 bruh. But it's paramount in this case because as lovely as follow along campaigns are or look ma, no hands, humor laced writeups by members previously, most of it was speculation based. Not proven. This is a problem and we're making it one of our primary missions to only have FACT BASED content produced and posted. For real.
- You are no longer obligated to contribute meaningful content. We thank everyone that did so before. I had made huge deals about it many times before. But then I stopped and realized something so simple. Forums are communities that rely on contributions of conversations and opinions more so than fact based material. People will always have agendas, personal or professional. Sinister or just because they want to build up their street credit and rightfully so. But ultimately those who contribute most will feel like they were short changed by those who only digested this content and used it for their own gains without ever following through on the "p2p sharing" that this whole community was originally based upon. Those who want to contribute meaningful, actionable, proofed, source checked content may do so. But they will require a pass to be able to do so as well. We don't want people who are merely in it for some strange agenda later, so be upfront about why you are interested in doing so. You won't be rejected if you're honest.
