:confused:I will probably get banned or something for this but here goes. I am new to this terrific forum but find it a bit discouraging to have to posted 20 threads before entering a thread in some of the review sites."Example" Was reading in one forum(I would guess War Room) and they were discussing Global Success Club of which I belong. The topic was being discussed very hotly,mostly between a couple of affiliates and some who were not. Well if I had access to that forum I could have blown the doors off the affiliates promotion which is all they were really doing. Bur not having 20 posts I believe our members lost out on some extremely helpful information I could have provided.
ALL COMMENTS WELCOME (If this gets printed)

    Good reason for that rule in your post. You aren't a member of the War Room so you weren't reading there. Chances are you were in the review section.

    Without that rule two things happen here:

    New people jump into the the forum to try to damage the reputation of a product or service.

    New people jump into the forum to try to sell or promote a product or service.

    Neither is acceptable and until people know who you are - why should they believe you? Also good to know enough about the forum sections to know where you are posting.

    Ya know what's REALLY discouraging? To see the best IM forum on the net get an influx of people who do nothing but scam, spam, and trash the place up. By making them wait to get into places that it would take high velocity moderation to clean them back out, they usually lose interest and go away or make enough inane posts to get in there that they get weeded out fast.

    If you're in here for the right reasons, you'll wait - and you'll still be around when the post count turns.

      I get the reasons loud and clear and believe me I am in here for the long run. Unfortunately I am not as you may think a hit and run member. I have been through bankruptcy because of being scammed more times than I care to remember. I have been through the wars and just had something of tremendous value to contribute "THAT'S ALL"
      Thanks for your valued replies

      P.S. Now that I'm here and set up you WILL be hearing a lot more from me and about me and what I have been through and what I have to offer. I may be new to Warrior but I have learned a lot more than you may think

    You know, there is an old saying of "If it sounds too good to be true...". ****BULL****! HECK, if many here think back to hearing about affiliates, THAT may sound too good to be true. To get paid for a visitor coming through your link? YEAH RIGHT!

    And SOME say "You get what you pay for". ****BULL****! Heck, the above is a good example THERE also, but I have paid THOUSANDS for junk, and NOTHING for GREAT stuff. Look at software? The laptop I have with the most wear cost me TWICE as much as the next most expensive laptop. My current laptop cost one TENTH as much as the one I just described, has been used longer, and is still like BRAND NEW! NOPE, I am NOT kidding!

    OK, when you buy, you are kind of a seller also. I mean the vendor is buying YOUR cash with his/her promise, etc... When people are buyers, it is said that they ask "What's in it for me?"! Well, as I said, the seller is ALSO a BUYER! So?......


    Where am I going with this?!?!?!?!?

    One way to avoid MANY scams is to ask "What's in it for THEM?"! They are selling you a SECRET to get great traffic for no work, etc? WHY? They are selling you a way to buy realestate for pennies? WHY?

    I was once offered a loan for less than HALF the cost of my current loan. I asked WHY? After all, they could work with a company, issue bonds, and make close to twice as much! If they don't, they take all the risk, and use 100% THEIR capital! GOOD THING! The answer is that the terms were different and/or they were adding points. One guy tried to talk me into a 5/1 hybrid! That is where they say "OK, for 5 years you pay 1/2 the interest on the loan, which will be higher than your current principle, and then we can charge you a higher interest rate for each of the remaining years!"! OK, maybe they don't SAY that, but generally that is what they mean.

    Here is an ad from an HONEST company!

    ING DIRECT - ORANGE MORTGAGE

    Great rate - 3.125% RATE, 3.269% APR fixed for the first 5 years on a 5/1 Orange Mortgage. Then, the rate adjusts each year for as long as
    you have the loan.
    BTW, to be fair, the rate can only go up to 9.125% in 8 years, and that is the highest it can currently go here, for the moment. Still, 6 points is a HUGE increase! And you KNOW rates are likely headed HIGHER.

    Just some advice to stay out of more bankruptcies. They tend to recur!

        WOW, I guess I should have guessed by the hints you gave. But HECK, many eventually wise up, and kind of lose it in old age. But you found this place, so I guess you aren't technophobic, or against change, and that seems to really prevent problems when you get older.

        BTW normally I wouldn't mention that, but my mother is about 80, and last year was so bad off that she ended up getting committed to an olds folk home, with bad dementia. She managed to get out for a bit, but ended up going right back.

        In any event, my original statements, and ones said here, are not meant to offend or belittle.

    By the way, posts made in the off topic forum don't count toward your post count.
