WickedFire is Dying... - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

...Lack of quality posts as of late and Alexa told me so.

Old Goat · 06-03-2008, 01:52 AM

Sorry, I've been doing a lot of yard work lately. Will try to be more active.

HarveyJ · 06-03-2008, 02:19 AM

I find that really odd, because I see new people popping on here on a regular basis, and don't really notice the oldies dropping off all that much...

Let's invite the other WF to join!
Hahahahaa

smaxor · 06-03-2008, 03:15 AM

Well I can say I see a lot of people on my IM and in IRC that don't post much anymore. But yes there seems to always be new blood. Honestly sometimes when you've been on a board for a long time you see the same questions over and over and over and ... well you get the point. It get's kind of tiresome answering the same thing again and again. You have to admit even Jon doesn't post that much anymore. But a more telling number is compete as I find it a lot more accurate. Here's a comparison of wf, dp, and sp.

ubercamp is gonna put us out of business

Aequitas · 06-03-2008, 04:00 AM

Yeah I've been noticing a small trend among some people to be more reluctant to help out and release there tactics, which there is nothing wrong with that, I've discovered a few new tactics of my own which are all working well and I'm not about to post about any of them because then I wouldn't make any money but things like this keep me really busy.

I'm sure lots others are busy as well and don't have the time, plus its like Smaxor said after awhile its all the same questions and you need a break from it.

Comparing WF to DP??

The day WF has half as much background noise as DP is the day I leave.

HarveyJ · 06-03-2008, 04:06 AM

Crap on a stick! DP has over 7,000 keywords driving traffic!!! I wonder how much they're paying out for all of that heheh

I know what you mean. There's too much noise at DP. Also, same questions over and over again.

Maybe people would evolve into active members if they didnt get told to fuck off in there first post..and rick rolld 25 times when its not all that funny anymore.

Maybe WickedFire doesn't want people that get offended by being told to fuck off, and take offense to being rick rolled, and that CLEARLY don't take the time to read around the forum a bit, and see what this place is all about...?

What a complaining little bitch, if you can't take the name calling how the hell are you supposed to run a successful business, don't you know that if someone isn't pissed at you your doing something wrong.

Dying or not, WF still has a better signal:noise ratio than any forum (on any subject) I've come across.

Personally, I think that "older" members moving on is just the way of things. As people get more advanced and successful in a field, they tend to have less time to spend on messageboards, and break off into smaller private groups... that should be seen as a sign of the forum's success, not its failure.

narsticle · 06-03-2008, 08:15 AM

who cares what alexa says.

SeoReborn · 06-03-2008, 08:23 AM

Alexa is not accurate at all.

On the upside, netcraft has not confirmed it's death.

If you are the type of person that gets a sandy vagina from people saying things such as sandy vagina, this may not be the forum for you.

turbolapp · 06-03-2008, 09:25 AM

Look at smaxor's Compete link again, guys. We've actually tripled our gain over site point and quadrupled our gain over digital point. I don't see that as dying.

So we have about 550K less average users...that's 550K less idiots to deal with.

I actually laughed out loud at that.. damn.. now my coworkers are looking at me funny.

Time for a sig change.

Every day is just a day closer to death!!....

muahaha... who does do?

LotsOfZeros · 06-03-2008, 10:19 AM

I was originally attracted to WF's edgy feel. The f-bombs and rick rolls are just part of it's charm.
Sugar coating every post for family-friendly political correctness gets boring.

SEOlson203 · 06-03-2008, 12:49 PM

^^^ agreed, i rarely will join a forum if the rules state that you aren't allowed to swear or say anything inappropriate...thats too boring

I've also noticed this. It seems like IRC has replaced the forum for most of the older members.

Hmm.. Maybe we can integrate IRC directly into the forum...

trigatch4 · 06-03-2008, 03:22 PM

There is a "WF dying" type thread every couple months. Just like anything else in the world, there are hills and valleys. It all evens out.

No thx. The new mods around here don't let people speak their minds (mostly LordBrar).
