Not to mention having to buy a product to get access to the WarriorForum in the first place. And that's just a bare scraping of all the resources available within the WarRoom...many, many valuable resources which have been contributed by Warriors over the years ... many which have gone on to be sold...all for the price of a not-too-expensive WSO ? It's SERIOUSLY worth the price. Much MORE than the price. There is SO much gold in there ... ...to quibble about $20/yr ... as people have pointed out ... it's worth more, MUCH more, than that...I'd get it before they decide to raise it to $20/mo. (and that STILL would be a bargain.) Live JoyFully! Judy | |

I wonder how things will shape up. This is an interesting development. I just hope that things don't change too drastically here as we all are used to how WF works and has been working from many years now. Experimenting, introducing new things is fine but my suggestion would be not to be too aggressive as that can put a lot of people off here and it is the Warriors who make the community what it is.

Alastair - Will the "member moderation" format still be in place or will that be changed? I'd expect more spam at the beginning as idjits online test the waters to see if tolerance levels for spam here has changed.
Instead of focusing on finding negatives - look at the opportunities and improvements that may result from this change. Uptime - a potential payment system - lots of good stuff has been proposed. Kay | |

Congratulations Alan! You had the foresight to start this forum, not to mention MANY successful careers, back when the I.M. niche was in it's infancy! You earned it and deserve it! :-) It's sad to see how many people have an "entitlement attitude" and the nerve to cry about a $20 fee, the service this forum provides is worth FAR more than $20 or even $40 for that matter! I personally don't think the deal you made was JUST for the money, I think it was a well thought out move toward a better future for the forum and it's future. I'm looking forward to what it become and reflecting on the awesomeness that it always was. Thanks Alan, MANY people owe their success to you and this forum and I wish you the best :-) |

Guys, just curious: any idea why Allen went with a "war" analogy in the forum branding: ... war room, warrior forum, warrior hot sauce ... was "war" such a hot topic in 1997 ? (I can't recall, but then memory might be failing) What has "war" have to do with IM ? Besides the usual borrowings of traditional marketing ("campaign" and similar military terms), I don't quite see an obvious connection... hope this isn't going off-topic too much |

Bryan, It was originally "The Warriors of Internet Marketing." The idea was to create a place where people talked about proactive marketing tactics, as opposed to the rather weak way most people went about selling online back then. It expanded from there. Paul |

True of any business, especially one that's made an investment of this magnitude, you no doubt have a financial forecast for forthcoming years with plans laid to reflect it. Beyond price adjustments, is there likely to be an announcement soon relating to any significant changes that you intend to implement in accordance with the scope of that forecast? A "vision" perhaps, or the primary objective of the acquisition? Thanks Daniel | |

Congrats, Allen! This is awesome news and very inspiring too! Not that I'd ever plan on doing something on as grand a scale, but still. What a success story! I'm also happy about the reduced fee for the WSO's - it will definitely make it easier for the "little guys" to offer their products and get started, like Tiff said below:

| I bet you never in your dreams though WF was going to grow into this HUGE of a forum. I don't spend as much time here as I like and used to but the value from this forum is insane... If I could promote the War Room as an affiliate product I would share it with everyone... I don't remember what I paid to be a part of it a few years back ....but it has paid for itself 100 Times over! (maybe even 1000 x over) Thanks Allen, Jeff Mitchell |

$20 per year amounts to $1.67 per month. If someone can't earn that with what they learn in the rest of the forum, then they're not ready for the War Room anyway. | |

Hey Allen, Thanks for the update and great news. The WF has always been one of those places that has acted as a platform for the entire spectrum on IM knowledge and experience. I've made a LOT of great friends here and personally met several hundred of this forums members over the years, so I'm really happy to hear that there is now even more resource than ever dedicated to continuing to move things forward. For the new guys from Freelancer.com who are looking for our input - The thing that stood out about the WF when it started (when we used to have to pay to be a member) was the quality of the information and the WSO section. Over the years as the forum has grown that quality has not gone away, but the noise level around it has massively increased to the point where many new members struggle to differentiate between the uneducated ramblings of a troll and the wise words of a really successful member. We have an abundance of members who are keen to be the voice of "how you should get started" and the WSO section is now just a marketplace where almost anything can be offered. My one humble request moving forward is that you talk to Allen about what used to make great information and genuinely great offers of high quality members products stand out, and keep in mind how to let the gold shine through the noise, so that as you get more new members they have some way to calm the noise and find a safe haven of pure good advice that is offered from a genuine place and not driven by a sales process. We're all looking to continue our success and share with others, but I've seen many good people reduce the frequency of their visits because of the presence of trolls and the effort required to make good information visible in the massive flow of posts. I wish you all the best in your efforts and would like to thank Allen once more for the amazing way he has looked after the forum over the years, and the members for the way in which they have supported each other. Andy |

If you wanted to get really fancy without separating it from the WF, which would be a mistake IMO, it would probably be even more popular if you added auction capabilities to it, so that people could bid on sites. We can still do that in a workaround way, so I doubt that it's critical, but consider this: WF has the traffic, the sellers and the buyers. Flippa has zero competition. Everyone loved Flippa when it was in the forum format on Sitepoint that it had in the beginning. Their format and pricing moves have turned off an enormous amount of people. Even if WF became the #2 place to buy and sell websites, that is huge. | |

I could not agree with you more Andy. When I first arrived which as back in 2003, (I did not have an account) I was running a successful insurance restoration company. I bought several products from here and learned a lot but you're right in what you say in regards to the WSO section.

One thing I've just experienced: If you're a WSO creator and you're responding to questions via PM - having to wait 2 minutes between each response is a bit.... much? I understand the need when members are simply communicating with members but the support thingee.... 'twould be nice to bash out the answers one after another. |
