I would have done a poll but, A) I have no idea who would be the best choices to include, and would probably leave some bright peeps out by mistake, and B) I really hate polls.

Who is/are the smartest WF member(s) on here, in your opinion? Obviously, if you haven't met most of your WF peers in person, you base it on their posts. People tend to think the "smartest" are the ones that agree most with their point of view, or post alot with things that sound reasonably educated, but I wonder what the general consensus is of "smart" among the membership at large. I know all of us have (often vocal) views of who the idiots are, but here's your chance to give a shout-out to who you think is actually a bright person, (besides just the private "give rep/I approve" feedback method).

I've met a fair amount of WFers in person, and I've been surprised to learn that some that I thought were super-smart from their posts turn out to be a little slow, while others I would have assumed were special-ed are actually bright at a whole notha' level.

My votes; Eli (Deliguy) is pretty bright in his industry, I think Papajohn has a good grasp, affiliatearmy and grindstone know their shit, Jon of course, aaronklaw isn't nearly as dumb as I tell him he is on the phone, guerilla has some logic behind his ranting, and I think Bofu has his shit together too. I'm leaving some out for now, but what's everybody's views?

Doesn't matter.

1. Smarter the person, the less they'll divulge in public.

2. You can always hire smarter people.`

Intelligence is so subjective, I think it would be impossible to ascertain such information on WF members. That is unless you want to quantify intelligence and have everyone take an IQ test, and even then that would only tell us so much (it won't tell us anything about one's IM skills).

To me intelligence should be measured more by one's willingness to learn. Because nobody can know everything, but as long as they keep learning, then they keep growing, mentally.

Agreed, that's why it is completely a subjective question.

Although I'd pay good money to get all WF members cornered in a room with a standardized IQ test and a timer, I bet that would resolve a lot of the negative arguments that occur here on a daily basis in a hurry

This guy makes me cum. But then again so does my Dog, so I guess its down to the brass nickles.

So I'll say the smartest member is: Dark Cognitive. Helps me out a lot and never gives up.

I like how whenever intelligence comes up on forums, even WF, everyone busts out the proper grammar/punctuation and faggots like you open with words like "ascertain"... as if any of this is natural speech for this environment. I'm not even sure if this is just multi-layered satire or if you guys really are that lame.

Clearly the answer is Ryan Eagle anyway.

Eli, followed closely by slightly shady.

Both of those guys are about 4000x smarter than me and are also quite good at thinking outside the box.

+1 for dickarmy, I forgot about that guy because he hasn't been active in a while. I definitely owe that guy a beer if I ever meet him IRL for his posts on Ad servers, I saved a lot of time and made a lot of money off the info he shared.

Kidding of course. To be honest, the smartest people don't usually have the highest IQ. Being smart is about learning from people "smarter" than you, identifying and borrowing great ideas and concepts, noticing bad ideas and filtering them out, having a sense for talented teamates/partners with whom to work, and adding your own personal creativity and innovation to all these elements you choose to absorb.

Being smart is about knowing the right things to absorb and adding your own special sauce. That's what I always loved about WF... there's plenty to absorb. You've just got to know what to filter out.

If you're smart enough to do all that and can understand and leverage your own competitive advantages, you've won half the battle.

There are some very intelligent people on this forum and I've seen some amazing posts over the years. Eli for sure, and definitely Slightly Shady. Nickycakes (haven't seen him around lately, but that guy knows his shit). Karnul as well. There are so many to be honest.

Thanks for the mentions! But I don't actually post here. I'm merely one of Bofus bots.

Too many to name. If this was FB it'd be a lot easier.
I have to point back to Monte and klaw. Their advice has easily saved more WF member wallets than anyone's. Plus they're very educated.

PapaJohn is savant smart <-seriously have a random conversation with the guy if you never have.

BBWolfe,Rileypool, Bofu and enigmabomb don't get enough credit because they don't make very many serious posts but them dudes are straight business and can solve any problem no matter how far above my head.

Eagle Man is straight up the most intelligent business strategist ever.

Smaxor (A4D Jason) is the most well rounded marketer I've ever met. If i ever got a real job it would be working for him just for the experience of it.

ChrisS - read the salescopy on his landing pages...

MyOwnDemon and Kurnal dominate the debate threads with actual logic

too many to name

You need a rolodex of smart people. It really depends what problem you are looking to fix as to who might be the best fit. I know some people on here who would be my goto guys for certain things, but not for everything. Jack of all trades, master of none.

So the smartest person is probably the one with the best rolodex, and the ability to leverage what is in that rolodex.

Guerilla and Eli.
