Simple/Brilliant Solution to all the Forum's Woes
Then some people came along and happily answered the question. The OP came back and said that researching this question and previous threads was not on his to do list.
So I had this flash of intelligence (rare for me). Why do some people happily answer these questions day after day after day and never complain? They never put their self appointed moderator sitting on his or her high horse hat on. They never complain. They never report. They never send messages to Daniel about this violation or that violation.
The answer is because it's in their self interest to answer the questions and not to report anything. They are relaxed compared to some of us whose blood pressure threatens to explode our head every time we visit.
So the answer to stop all the bitching (that apparently isn't heard in Australia anyway)? Join them.
Instead of writing reports let's start answering questions. Instead of no sigs let's find something - even a decent PLR product - and start selling it through our sig. Instead of saying to search, welcome the exposure of your new sig file.
You say you have no time? You already spend a lot of time in an endless quest (apparently one sided) to improve the forum. So why not be able to relax with the possibility of making a buck or two due to your "senior" status.
You say you have no website? Get a free one or a subdomain or whatever you need to do. Again, it won't take much time to get something set up.
You say you have no interest in selling these sorts of things? But you do have interest in continuing running in circles on your own little hamster wheel while you wait and pray that the people that own the place will get as interested as you are?
It would be a change for many of us as far as changing our mindset. Speaking of mindset, we'd need to lay off anything remotely suggesting that someone will fail. They aren't listening to anything we say anyway - we are constantly being called names (my recent favorite for me was "pretentious prick") and ignored. So why worry about them? Sell to them instead through happily posting with our new sig intact.
Seriously I'm half serious. My mom shared with me a story from a movie (forget which one) that has stuck with me. A couple were always fighting about how he dealt with the toothpaste tube. This caused all kinds of fights and it was an endless source of unhappiness. Finally someone came along and suggested that the lady buy her own toothpaste tube. The problem was instantly solved - no more fights and a lot more happiness. So if our current efforts aren't making any progress, why not try a different way?
Thoughts?
