There are a lot of new wickedfire members contributing to this discussion who joined in the past few months or so. What they don't understand is that the so called 'decline' of wickedfire began following ASW which a lot of you newer guys may be unfamilliar with.
ASW (affiliate summit west) was a hyghly hyped affiliate summit that took place in las vegas in the later half of 2006. The expectations were high, and it was unequivocally a major letdown.
Many wickedfire members attended, taking time off work and paying for air travel and lodging to gain further insights as to how to make money online as well as network with other like minded people. But the presentations were uninspiring, and consisted of rehashed material. Many people walked out which usually doesn't happen unless the caliber of material is very poor. (remember they took time off work and payed for travel in order to attend ).
The point is, older members here lost faith in wickedfire following ASW and it has been that way ever since to a degree. Too many posts and threads catering to newbies. No much rehashed material. Noobs need to be hazed; now we're spoonfeeding them.
I don't think enough people said this, so I'm going to say it too...Don't be a pussy, use your real screen name.
I have been here since the beginning and this place still beats the hell out of any other internet marketing forum on the internet. I've learned a hell of a lot here and I learn more every day.
All forums go through phases and level off. I still don't really see what you are talking about though.
