Funny story...
At affiliate summit west 2009, there were a TON of digital point and warrior forum members there. All compared notes on what courses were the best, and which blogs to read each day, and what ebooks had good information. None of these folks bothered to network at parties, none of them asked intelligent questions during Q&As, none of them really had anything to contribute, they were all looking for a fucking handout.
The Wickedfire members, with a good number of members hosting sessions themselves, skipped most of the sessions in favor of some hardcore networking at a bar or strip club. I don't recall but one WF member trying to pitch some bullshit product (the banner who does not see...) and I saw the vast majority of wickedfire members come back, turn off AIM, and get fucking busy, only to come back to life in Feb with some incredible campaigns.
But what do I know about anything, I'm just a dejected alcoholic ex-vice president who trolls vaporware 'networks'. I just feel honestly sad for the losers at DP and warriorforum who listen to the so-called gurus there. I mean, if they had any sort of clue, they'd STFU and rape the niche/idea/campaign themselves, then share once it's on the decline...
Can't wait for ASE, gonna have some NIICE shirts about Warriors...
