I paid $10 to join this site last May.
I personally don't see any value in it 'yet' but maybe I'm missing something.
Where do you guys hang out in this forum?
Is it worth the money to join the warroom?

    The direct answer is that the minimal $10 fee protects us all from
    a flood of spammers.

    But more to the spirit of your question, perhaps you could expand
    on what value you thought you would get by joining, but have not
    yet received?

    Just read around the different sections of the forum. You will gather value. It is quite easily the best internet marketing forum there is. It is EASILY worth $10.

      I signed up when it was free to join. But I wouldn't have had any problems with paying the $10.00.

      This is a great active forum overflowing with knowledge.

    Well, we're trying to organize a campaign so that Mike Tyson becomes king of the United States.

    There has been some opposition lately (usually there is none), but with your help, we can certainly turn the tide.

    well I do think that Mike Tyson would make a most excellent Prime Minister of The United Amercias.. I was hoping more for a site that would offer a space for guys like me to swap back links and anchor texts with similar websites.
    Or maybe some kind of adsense scheme where we would click each others ads and such..

    but I guess reading a spammers post who paid $10 to join is more entertaining then reading a spammers post who didn't pay.

      I seriously doubt, considering what you are looking for, that you will find value in the forum and I wouldn't recommend that you waste any more time or money here. :rolleyes:

        Terra,

        The kind of thing he wants just gets deleted here. I nuked an older account not long ago for trying to sell software that simulated human clicks on AdSense ads. You can't have an open structure like we have and keep all the creeps out. Best you can do is deal with them when they're spotted.

        I actually hope this one comes back and reveals more of his Evil Plans for World Domination. I can report him to Rogers Cable for using their system to commit fraud then.

        As I recall, their ToS specifically forbids that...

                  Hey!

                  What can I say? I find that I am often misunderstood and was trying to bring some clarity.

                  Let me try that again and see if I can pass the Paul repetitive redundancy alert test, which in of itself is one also.

                  Wow! That was an awesome description Paul, your words created a vivid, detailed image in my mind of the scene. And the sound effects just added to the whole experience so much so, that I actually thought I could smell the burning insect. You engaged so many of my senses. I could see it, I could feel it, I could hear it and smell it. I was there! You actually took me there!

                  Now, just don't complain that I'm too wordy!:p

      You've definitely wasted that $10.

        You're right, of course, and I think most canadians would know that ALSO, especially about it being the USA. HECK, we are the ONLY country bordering them! And you could say we border them on TWO sides. So I don't think deltabeach is originally from canada.

        BESIDES, "of the united americas" makes it sound like the plan where mexico, the US, and canada all become a federation of sorts.

          Yup. The United Americas would be as you said but he actually said "United Amercias" which it appears is some form of coal conference.

    Welcome to the Warrior Forum!

    I personally don't see any value in it 'yet' but maybe I'm missing something.
    I would leave then. I wouldn't hang out at a place that has no value.

    Where do you guys hang out in this forum?
    Mostly in the forum when we are in the forum.

    Is it worth the money to join the warroom?
    If you don't find value in the rest of the forum then my answer is no. You will be disappointed.

    Might be better to find a different forum that has more value and hang out there.

    How anyone can complain about a measly $10.00 for membership, oh dear, hopefully this character will look elsewhere and find the value he wants.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[8506130].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author seasoned
    Heck, I paid MORE than $10 when I joined. It then became FREE for a while. It IS ironic, and a bit paradoxical, but I'm sure you know ANYWAY! One reason for the $10 is because people HATE it! I mean EVEN if you made a million dollars a year, you could only join 100,000 times with a years pay an that assumes you go hungry, are homeless, and pay no taxes!

    That means that it will certainly limit the number of accounts a person will make. It ALSO helps to identify the person as people want to make sure who they are paying. Oh SURE, YOU might be paying paypal, but PAYPAL is paying for YOU, and THEY want to know who YOU are.

    So there you have it!

    Paying $10 doesn't mean they're going to SERVE you value, you've to find it on your own. they just give you access to do so.

    Well it would be funny if they do this way when you log in "hello! you paid so here is your value, don't do anything ,just collect the content and make yourself invisible".

    Secondly, I think Paul has taken HTML so seriously to design new commands on his own.

    well first off, I do appreciate all the replies. I joined the site hoping to bring my pitiful adsense sites up a few notches so that I could generate more income from the few sites that I do operate in my spare time.

    I'm more then open to learning anything that can be taught to me.

    Though it really comes down to knowing where to start. A lot of these forums seem to focus on 'FB campaigns' or PPC or PPV (I have no idea what PPV) is.

    If it's a matter of using a campaign to generate traffic to sell the product on your site, then I guess I need a product to sell that isn't just useless opinions.

    On another note, how do I thank a post like I see some people doing?

      When you have enough posts the thank you button will appear by the other buttons. I think it takes 5 posts. Post in the Off Topic forum don't add to your post count though.

    @deltabeach... you need to write more posts but not in the off topic section and then the thanks button will appear.

    If you're wanting to genuinely learn how to make money from real people then this is the best place and $10 is nothing. If you're here to waste your time, then it's pointless being here.

    You won't find treasure unless you actually open your eyes and start reading properly.

    Well then you must have noticed that the person who I was referring to actually said that Mike Tyson would make an excellent KING of the USA. So I was simply riding on his sarcasm train. You should get on it, I thought that Londoners love the train. It's all over those Hairy Plotter books afterall.

      yes! and now I can thank people. I guess it was 5 posts. I also found the adsense thread which is somewhat interesting. Much better then the fiber and geriatrics thread that Paul Myers hangs out in.
