This couldn't be more true.
Although that isn't just true of this industry, it's true of all online forums. I assume it has something to do with the demeanor and attitudes of those with intellect.

It's not true. I run a sports forum where the arguments can get very contentious.
We have a simple rule. Hate the coach, hate the player, love the posters. Always be nice to everyone on the forum.
It works pretty well. I usually have to ban 1 or 2 guys a season for trying to talk shit, but we're known in our niche for having the smartest fans with the best analysis.
That said, it's a lot of work (7 years) to get it working almost perfectly.
And forums suck for making money...
Yeah, I had a pretty large forum in the music industry for years. Super fun to be involved in. The money.... what money?
It is not hard, but a simpler approach would be to have a "fiverr" section on here. Why lose the visitors, plus WF could make a couple bucks off of the cheap section.
Also I am talking about cheap services, not shit ass providers. I just checked and there is still lots of "shit" that I would never touch in the new $77 section. Having the cheap section would most likely weed them out of the quality sections making it easier to buy.
You're still missing the point...where is line drawn about what constitutes a shitty service or not? Having a sub-forum with a lower barrier of entry only enables those sellers that were selling in the $36 section to continue selling for their same prices in the new "fiverr" section as you said. For that matter, anyone that sold in the $36 section could just sell in the lower priced section but still have a hefty price tag on their service to maximize their profit margins.
There are plenty of services on this forum that work great for a temporary ROI, but they are still shitty services by nature. Where do they fit in? If I'm selling a $100 link package that puts you on page 1, albeit temporarily, it still qualifies as a shitty service.
Yeah, for some period of time, opened thread was visible for 2 months on the front page, even though it was locked and couldn't be bumped (design and development section). What more could you ask for
?I like the system right now, I just wish they could implement non locking system (pay to bump) so i could rank my threads in google :thumbsup:
77 Dollars for a SEO thread is reasonable IMO.
Now 66 dollars for a Content thread might be quite high. I don't run a content service thread on WF but I can see how that might discourage sellers. But then again that might be what Jon's going for as there are a TON of content threads out there. So it might be his way of weeding out the content sellers who aren't truly that great.

Your idea of " a ton" is 9 paid / active threads?
Damn that's true. Maybe the new thread price discouraged people or something?
Idk, I was just referring to my first glance a while ago.
I decided to take a second look, and was shocked at what I discovered, never noticed that before....
Carry on...
Carry on...
This like is dedicated to the new sig. What would something like that cost? $77?
