Since you've already paid for the War Room you're already a "paid" member, so no notification was needed. Though if you look on the upper, right-hand corner of the forum you'll see register button.

Were the post quality not as good before?
My impression of the quality of posts here at the WF is on par with other online forums that I am a member of...

Granted, I am relatively new here, plus the other "forums" I mentioned being forums in my niche.

Yep, a "better vibe" is a great way to put it. It's not exactly concrete, but a general feeling. Maybe it's just that the novelty hasn't worn off yet.

I have definitely noticed fewer posts, and maybe the lack of clutter is part of the better vibe. Not having so many posts to weed through makes it easier to find relevant and worthwhile threads.

All the best,
Michael

There's still a good few thousand (probably tens of thousands) of single grey-cell matter new members (not all) who enlisted here prior to the 'pay to join' decision. So it's going to take a little while longer before the boards level out to a majority of 'value' posts. That said, the number of ridiculous questions posed on many new threads has certainly declined, which can only be a good thing for WF in general.

It's definitely good to be able to browse the main forum with a now healthy quota of 'sensible' and reasonable questions posted, although I must say that the occasional "I hear about make money from IM, so tell me how" thread (complete with multiple spelling mistakes), will sometimes be missed . . . purely because of the entertainment factor when reading the sometimes crazy replies from other newbies. Sure was better than any nightcap known to man

  If you were around in 2002 you'd know that was when the forum became public and was changed to a new platform.
  
  But technically, yes it was a new account a decade ago.

I think it has improved slightly....a few less outright spammy posts to report.

However, I don't think the overall number of silly or super unrealistic posts will be changing much.

The industry has changed and there are tons of sellers (not just wso's) promising easy overnight riches so people think that somehow someway they have missed something when none of these "easy buttons" works for them.

Yes and Yes.

The quality is reviving and you are off your rocker. The two conditions are not, by any stretch of imagination, mutually exclusive.

OOPS - LOL - just got caught skimming, didn't I? Could have just copied Kurt's post and said "this". Bet nobody else ever does that...right? Right. I'm so sleezy.

So! That is how they finally got the sports schedule serial spamming creeps to stop!

In all my years here (8 years) as a mod I have never been bombarded by spam to this degree. It went on and on every day for a while - at least a month.

Somehow banning them didn't even stop the pond scum. It was like helpless - all you can do is delete them and live with it.

It has been quiet now a few days - I wondered how they finally managed to annihilate that crew! Good riddance and brilliant solution.
