MyLadiesDaddy Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm new to the forums here, but not new to online advertising and or forum management. In fact, I'm a very successful multi-million dollar online marketer and have in the past mentored and trained thousands of students in online marketing! I don't say this to brag.. I say this to give validity to my next comment. I have recently noticed a bunch of ridiculous AD's showing up... (see attached) I've also noticed a bunch of other people discussing it in various threads. I do understand the need and or reasoning to monazite this site, but as a new comer it looks really slimy! It certainly would make me start second guessing Adam and the people running this site. I only say this because of my experience as well as being a former moderator for other sites in other industries. From a new comer perspective... If I were a new-be to forums and or online mentorship, I certainly would highly question the integrity of this forum when seeing all the new ads and would most certainly question the value in becoming an VIP member. Adam, I think you are doing yourself an injustice by displaying them, and your opt-in rate will most likely go down because of them. So, to be clear, I'm not here to cause trouble... Just giving you some perspective from a new comer here. It's your site... Do with it what you must. Just realize there will absolutely be a cost associated with it. Most Respectfully, TC Rooster! I thought my little satire about being a"CLIENT"of Adams was simple enough for even the Simplest of liberals to understand the uselessness of telling someone how to run their business. You just proved me wrong. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) If I may.......There are 3 categories of folks here.. To me a "Visitor" or "Guest" is someone who never ( chose to) became a Member, someone who just comes here to read and never actively participates in posting etc. ( you can't post if you are not a Member)...They represent the majority of those frequenting this site / forum Then there's the "normal" Members ( of which I'm one) who are clearly (imho) different from guests/visitors in the sense that a Member has the ability to post, to intervene in discussions etc.so in my view he/she ( Member) cannot be considered same as a guest/visitor. We Members happen to be around 40,000.... Active Members ( those who participate daily in forum activities, partaking in discussions and posting regularly ) I'd dare saying are less than 100. I understand that under a (very) strictly business-wise point.....it'd appear to be the same ("normal" members and visitors) since both are non-paying. But as I said above the differences are evident ( again imho). Then there's of course the VIP's. Paying Members. I don't know the exact number of this group Edited February 19, 2015 by umbertino 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabibilicious Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 So what Umbertino is saying is.......guys like me write our messages outside on Adam's ad riddled shop windows......as VIP members sit inside enjoying espressos and croissants.

Adam Montana Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Umbertino. you are correct. You and 39000 others are more than just "visitors", and I sincerely appreciate all of what you and others contribute to this site as members. My apologies if I didn't convey that before, I was just a little busy laughing at the people complaining about how their free service is dished up. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivesman Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yup...a LOT of people watch ad riddled TV and buy that stuff. Then there are those that buy pay-per-view programming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCRooster Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Well, I love being mocked and scolded after I say stupid ****... So I guess I should pony up the measly fee to become VIP to really see how good it is! HA Edited February 19, 2015 by TCRooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCRooster Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Actually, there is no way to become VIP anymore that I can see... Unless you become Platinum Lifetime per Adam s comment.

TCRooster Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks Shab, I've pretty much searched, but every link regarding VIP has been redirected and no longer valid. So I don't think a coupon will even work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
