It used to be pretty good, like in the summer, especially in the VIP Lounge, but now it's just full of n00bs asking "how to I make money online?!?!?"
It failed because Lee didn't seem to put enough time trying to engage with the community. Earnersforum started strong with the contests and the podcasts but then he dissapeared and expected the community to thrive without anymore of his help. On the otherhand Jon is always adding new stuff here to keep it interesting.
Also there are too many noobs who post spam. It is worse the DP in that regard.
Lee is only about the money. he even has adsense and other crap on his own personal blog...

I am a member of earnersforum and I do enjoy posting there. You can find some good info there. There are a lot of threads from newbies but there are also some good posts.
Okay, lets change the topic. Lets talk about Jon. He can take critisism. What does he provide for this place to keep it going? I'm note quite sure. Holds contests. Promises to give alot back. Does link bait. He posted a 80k check on sitepoint. Does he help walk people thru how he got that 80k? After all he's not an affiliate marketer anymore. The true pimp of this forum is Chris Lingle. Without chris alot of people wouldn't be coming back.
