I totally respect your decision and wish you the best. I'm sure whatever you do now will turn out to be amazing. I know from my own experience once a person knows their path is not leading to where they wish to go they must cut it off and change direction even if to others it seems like you may have it made.
Anyway I want to say you've made a real difference in my life as well as many others here I'm sure. You've inspired us and given us a place to escape much of the bullshit and misinformation that envelopes most other places aimed at those who want to go into business and for that I really want to thank you and let you know you'll be missed. |

awww fuck!
I guess our relationship has always been "special", right from its bumpy start, but ... damn. Should have gotten to know you better. Good luck to you, Jon. Maybe you will still come to WF as a place to hang out. ::emp:: |

Now I seem to be getting back into it in a way. Jon - Why don't you just change what you are doing? I know this sounds like newbie advice but if you know what you want and are passionate about it just fucking do it. You know it will probably get 100 free links if you ask in the right places. Your articles will get noticed and you can either write a fricking book or go to school getting a masters in whatever the hell you are talking about. Or lightly monetize it with products you care about or make your own products that do what you want. Or you could just become a consultant to pay the bills. You are in New York and that is home to shit tons of HQs. Introduce some company to the idea of unique title tags and links and make a fortune while pursuing your own thing on your time off. |

Best of luck, Jon. Just so you know, Wickedfire truly helped me to make my living fulltime online - I learned everything I know in the threads on this forum - and I'm sure I'm not alone. For that, I thank you my friend and could never thank you enough.
I wish you well in whatever it is you decide to do. I know you'll be a star. Much respect, Jason

Just look at the MSN cash back system as one step in that direction or look @ Googles product specific search results for finding movies/mortgages and so on, this will only expand to the point where someone will type in "teething whitening" and google will pop up zip code box and tell you exactly where or allow you to buy via a link that *they* get the commission on). There is really no telling where things will go, but some things are obvious though, to future proof your business it would be wise to start building sites/services/products where you are paid directly (in fact, if you look at the bigger players in affiliate, you'll probably notice they pimp affiliate marketing but nearly all are trying to offer some kind of service/tool/book). No need to run for the hills, this will be a long time coming I think. You need to definitely start looking to build sites that add value to the user experience and retain those users. |

Hopefully we dont see him next season trying to fax a reinstatement letter. Jon, all the best and trust me it takes alot of fucking mental energy to build the wf community and as you told me "one of the few forums with nothing but high quality ACTIVE members."
Surely you will be missed..... my god we are talking like Jon is dead. Jon you get bored, your jewish ass knows where to find some of the coolest mofos on the Im industry, including uber...haha. |

Jon (aka-former forum fuhrer), you gave birth to Wickedfire, raised it up, and now it is time for it to go off on its own and have its own life. I'm glad you have enough to keep you busy so you don't get depressed from an "empty nest"!
Your move to do something new and do it where your heart is sets you apart from the average man. Only good can come of this! Go forth and do it like the rock star that you are, Jon! You and this forum has made a difference in my life. Selfishly I don't want you to leave, but I can't help be SO excited for you as venture into this new territory, as you follow what is in your heart. I hope you make time to visit and tell us more about what you will be doing now and give us updates how its going. All the best to you, Jon! |
