Red is dead. lmao.
I asked a legit question....
"The community as a whole thinks your shit"
LMFAO.
If this is true, i guess ill take the 35 person vote with a grain of salt with this warm new member welcome.
Just for the sake of discussion and for other people reading. It's a small world, especially this community (web marketing/business as a whole). If you're not presenting yourself as a business you're only making it uncomfortable for yourself and the people you deal with.
I know I've met plenty of clients or people I network with through this forum or they knew people from this forum. It's not like we're only on this forum too, I see similar faces at least.
This is not me telling you what to do, but if I were to simply join the forum for promoting your tool (which no shame we're all marketers here), I would spend time seeing what the community was like first. Also, through your research you would see that there's a group of people here that are highly respected in the field. Reading news stories they're apart of, sites they made, tactics they shared, or businesses you're reverse engineering. Providing such an emotional/irrational response will only turn people off which you should care about, again if I were you.
