Yeah...

Much like the climatic weather changes as well.

You know, "New Ice Age" one decade, then "Global Warming" a couple of decades later.

Another reason I prefer this board is because of the loading time. WF is SOOOO SLOOOWW. I just can't stand waiting for a page to load.

Boy, this is the most lively thread we've had for some time here. We should do this more often.

Well, I'm laughing. Love the ballad eric. rezbi, your hallmark ballad skills are being challenged. (Of course, rezbi may not be able to log in if he was banned by his own blog.)

They don't have admin at WF. I can't remain logged in. And I never get any response from admin despite the fact I have not published any bomb recipes.

Looks like you guys are managing to keep up a pace that would make Bruce happy despite some fascinating rust bubbles that have no doubt popped up and snagged your attention.

I really like this forum, it's the only offline marketing forum I can find. Some really smart people here it seems.

I've got three reasons why the warrior forum seems more active.

1. People keep posting the same freaking questions over and over again.

2. Three types of posts are cycled through there on a regular basis: I'm giving up! I'm succeeding! I hate this forum (or certain types of people)!

3. No one's afraid to post anything.

This board has a very chummy feel to it, and I can understand how newbies might feel a bit more anxious posting here than on the warrior forum.

The Warrior Forum contains a very high number of newbies asking the same basic questions... this forum contains quite a few veterans. It can be more intimidating to ask questions here.

But... if newbies are smart, they'll realize that the number of veterans in here make for wonderful collective instructors.

And if they're REALLY smart, they'll realize that most veterans are newbies in some field... and that most newbies are veterans in some field.

So there's no reason to feel self-conscious.

Hope that reaches a few of the newbies reading this thread. =)

I like it the way it is; you folks are more intelligent and experienced, on the whole, than folks I've seen at any other forum, fwiw. Quality of posts (and people!) is more important than quantity... and this forum's a lot more active than my trading one, though I'm just starting that one out... it's a nice quiet intelligent place to converse with like-minded people, and a welcome place.

Good observations there Omar. SPecially this one [3] is true. Lots of newbies post just about anything. I admit I watch the WF too now but when I first saw the WF I thought it was a mess. Just about everything on different topics is posted there, specially in the main forum.

Also, lots of 1-5 post guys going in and posting adivce... guess they have read some Forum marketing ebook and now wants to contribute.. after 5 posts
