Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

great move...I will be upgrading shortly.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

I paid the $20 WSO fee earlier today. I just paid an additional $37 to keep my membership here.

Can I get a refund for my WSO payment as it is no longer neccesary to post if I pay the $37 for WSO membership?

Thanks

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Hey Aidan,

I read through your posts and you are trying to learn. Good for you. Send me a pm with your Paypal address and I will send you the money for the War Room.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

As one of the most frequent WSO posters (I've sent Allen around $1,500 in WSO fees over the last year), all I can say is THANK YOU!!

This is a HUGE step in the right direction. The WarriorForum is all about high quality information. We don't want it to become the next DP.

I'll be joining as a full member!

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

See above. Per Allen's last post, the fee still applies. The $37 makes you a member and gives you the ability to post a WSO. Nonmembers can no longer post a WSO.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Congratulations! It is vitally important to be serious about this IM thing. Those who are are the ones succeeding.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Great idea Allen! Any chance of the return of The Warrior Alliance?


Andre

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Awesome move!

Shoot, I had to pay to get in here many moons ago when us IM pioneers still had to walk up hill both ways in the snow to get down the hall to our home offices.

Then I happily paid again to get into the war room. I think this is a good move, although, I would vote for a price increase for the upgrade.

Talk soon,

Shannon

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Hey mate,

I sent you a PM. Sorry it took so long, had to delete my PMs =D.

Cheers,

-Aidan.



EDIT:

bobsilber came through and actually gave me the money for my upgrade!

If you're allowed to do this, can anyone who reads this please click the 'Thanks' button under his post.

THANK YOU!

-Aidan.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Dear Allen,

I have just paid the fee.

Kindly tell me what to do next.

Best Wishes,

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Great decision Allen.... with you all the way ...

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

This is one of the most valuable forums I've come across. I joined the War Room about a week after joining the site. What I've learned here in about a month is worth its weight in gold. The price for membership is well worth it. Specially if it will help rid of spam.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

thanks for the clarification.

I've been curious about the war room for awhile now. I'll join as soon as i hit 57$ in paypal lol

and i agree...i wouldn't want to see WF turn into DP..

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

I also believe this wont work. $57 or $20 is peanuts for spammers. And its a proven thing that you will make that money back even if your WSO is a total abysmal failure. This measly amount is not going to do it for spammers.

If you want to keep the spammers out simply BAN them, ban their IP addresses, require an extensive trial period (300 posts + 100 thanks + 100 days). Anything. Time investment and effort to get full rights here are much more effective detterents.

That said, I think that cleaning up WF is a great idea, and now that I looked I realize that the war room is only $37, so I'm kicking myself for not buying in earlier. How stupid of me :) I'll be signing up right after I post this.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

How do you weigh electrons? :)

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!

Great move Allen.

I have spent my share of time here
helping to weed out the problem makers.

Feels like a breath of fresh air has come upon
this forum.

Robert

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

That is Awesome Bob! Just goes to show that the people
here at the WF really do CARE about the newbies making
an attempt.

It also proves that not ALL lawyers are heartless.

I've been dragging my feet on joining the War Room myself,
mainly because I bought into the Mind Warriors when Allen
first created it only to see it be opened up as a free forum
too.

Doesn't look like that's going to happen with the War Room
now though, so I guess I'll have to bite the bullet soon as I
get a chance.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Cheers to great leadership.

I was becoming concerned about being in a community where a purchase could be made with confidence that value would be exchanged for a few dollars between forum mates. My confidence is 100% restored. Thank you!!

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Great Stuff Allen...sometimes though decisions work for the better
Best

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Although it's been said many times already, I still want to say it myself... Thank you Allen!

You are smart (we all knew that already), because this will only serve to increase the value of the forum even more.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Good move, good to see!

Elliott

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Superb.

This place was on its way to becoming "DP lite" and that's no fault of the great members here...it's just when a good thing comes along there's always someone who will exploit it.

Hopefully this will only increase the caliber of members here.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Excellent decision Allen, I love it... I hope free members can't also post in the main forum and can't use signature because sometimes many are using the main forum to spam or promote their own business.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

I'd raise that $37 to $97...

But that's just me.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Allen,
Just the kick in the butt some of us needed to get into the war room. The forum itself is so full of information its tough for people to digest, little lown implement and take action. I agree with an above post.

Making so many thanks and posts a requirement too post WSO would be a huge benefit. It is almost impossible for someone to get thanks unless its of good value, Free or paid. I for one would love to see that implemented. So many warriors are experts in specific fields and areas, and that diversity is what makes this forum such a valuable place. I for one, like to contribute, but oh how i appreciate it when i have a techie question and someone in the forum can answer in it minutes.

Please take my vote to install the thanks platform. If that count needs to be 100 i am all for it, even though i have only 48 or somewhere near that. I think that would really clean up the WSO section, and i buy an awful lot of WSO'S.

Thanks again...For your commitment to keeping this forum strong and not DP light.
Regards,
Robert Nelson

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Hey this is great!

You guys do not know how much you have just helped me. You see now I get to kill 2 birds with one stone. I wanted to join the War Room but couldn't afford it. Now I will Join the War Room on Wednesday when I get my next check. Here is the kicker, the only way I can afford it is to quit smoking (which I wanted to any way). I love you guys, I think you just saved my life!! LOL

Locpic63

p.s. My next WSO how Warrior Forum can improve your health?

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

but really this is excellent. also lately the warroom has seemed to become a rehashed *free version of WSOs. Maybe we can clean that up too and leave it as a place for quality discussions and original thoughts, as I (not sure about others) find value in a private place to engage in intelligent discussions and new strategies rather than a place where I can pick up whatever WSO's or whatever report for free.

especially since the membership will increaes it will be nice to really focus in the purpose of the warroom. this may mean less approved posts at first, however in the long run the quality posters will really start to come out of the woodwork as they see that their posts will not be bordered on both sides, by a ***FREE!!!!!*** WSO

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Thanks Allen! I am really new here and I really don't want "junk" here! I feel that this is a great place for me to learn and we don't need "spammers" or people who are not serious!

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

ok, who or what is DP? another forum?

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Well, whatever you do, don't look it up on Google Image Search... :eek:

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

'Bout time Allen -- thanks for all of us!

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Nice Move Allen!!!!

Can I make a suggestion? That you cannot post new threads til you have responded to 5 or 10. Aiming to people contributing before asking questions?

Thanks,
Mukul

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

I am a very excited newbie trying to learn things, so please forgive my ignorance, what is/was the "Warrior Alliance" ?:o:cool:
Terra

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

I was not aware of the War Room until a few days ago, even though I have been hanging out here for several years. I was going to join anyway as soon as I had some free time to check out the material inside the War Room.

I just hope this will lead to a much better WSO section by forcing out those that are making outrageous, unprovable claims that are junking up the offers lately.

I also hope it does not dilute the quality of the War Room.

Good move.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Hey Allen,

I've been meaning to join the war room for some time now and this is great incentive for me, it was just something I always was going to get round to and now I will.

What you offer is worth way more than you're charging considering how much value and knowledge we get from this forum.

I also know that what you decide will only make this forum better for all.

I'm ever grateful.

Sincerely,

Charann.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

I completely respect, understand, and appreciate where you are coming from. This is not a bad price to have the ability to still run good WSO's, setup a good blog, etc. It is well worth every penny. Thanks Allen.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Thanks Allen,

I have been very disappointed in the WSO's I have purchased lately and in the Warrior Classified section. I always come here first when I need anything for my marketing and appreciate your efforts in keeping the quality high.

Thanks for keeping the forum going for all of us. I hope all the members here realize how valuable this place can be for their business.

I look forward to the new changes.

David

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

This is a great decision Allen. Congrats!
Also, I second Kevin's views- if you're serious about your IM business and treat it like any other business,investing $37 should not be a problem.

Just upgraded myself and I am sure, it's one of the best decisions I have taken.

Allen,I am definitely going to tell my warrior friends to upgrade and enjoy the very best of warrior forum.

We're with you in making this place number one forum for every IMer.

Can't thank you enough and the entire WF troupe.

Sincerely,
Poppy :)

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Now, here's a decision that makes me happy.

Thank You, Thank you.

So now we can finally cut down on the lame spammy WSO's.

And only the serious folk can ploay with WSO's. And this also means that everyone has a chance to be mentored by yourself in the sub forum, eh?

But, I still have a question for you Allen.

When you say PM restrictions are gone, do you mean 5 mins between consecutive PM's is also gone? HOw does that work?

-Lakshay

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Yes, DP is another forum. But it sucks serious butt and is not
worth visiting. Unless, of course, you like getting ripped off.

Ok, SickHippie, you sucked me in. I just had to do a Google
Image Search of "DP" just to see what you were on about.
I still fail to get your point. :confused:

Care to enlighten me? :D

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

*Thumbs Up*
I upgraded.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

A very good, smart move, and greatly appreciated.

Can't tell you how disheartening it's been lately - spend hours posting purely educational 'give-back' threads, answer questions, etc., while having to wade through heaps of worthless, useless spam posts.

I had also pretty much stopped even browsing the WSO board, and I used to buy one or two each week.

Mark

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

LOL. You must have Safe Search on.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

BTW, I'll be the one to say it: it's interesting that what so many 'marketers' teach here, and the best-selling WSO is about, is the same thing the most of us abhor so much on forums we care about and are vested in.

And how many who are applauding this have also posted mucho 'advice' on the strategy of using forum sigs & blogs purely for backlinking...:)

Mark

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Nice Move Sir Allen.

Thanks

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

I'm serious about IM, but why make it a paid option? I can't pay RM130, yet.

This is so frustrating and depressing...

EDIT: What is the full access? What do I have access now without paying?

Also, reading all the "happy" comments that say "You should pay the money because this is a good forum and you should treat IM like a business...", well not quite. It is cheap to you, but not me. I treat this seriously, but money/currency/credit card is a problem for me.

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Remember currency conversion also works the other way round - while buying things may be more "expensive" when some currencies are converted, it also means that you can also make a living much easier than someone from the US.

So while the $37 may be expensive for you, the first $37 you make with your online business is also going to be worth a lot more.

And when we look at our businesses, the aim is to make more money than we spend, and so your currency conversion will actually work in your favour.


I hope this reply is more of an inspiration to pursue your online business, because with your currency conversion, you've got a LOT you can make!

cheers
Sam

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

I've just joined and this is my first post. I
haven't had time to look around the forum
ye but, if the community spirit shown in
this thread is anything to go buy, I'm going
to like it here :)

Rapido

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Very good news indeed - well done Allen.

Kevin

Re: Warrior Forum Going Back To Paid Status
 

Funny thing is that I did not even notice this notice... and just today I paid for one of my associates to join the war room and I convinced a second to upgrade...

Both because I wanted both to see just one valuable thread in the war room.

Anyone who is blind enough to not realize the sheer value of becoming a paid member should hang up their hat because they will never have the sense to make it in online business.
