Wicked Fire Forum sucks.
I was trying to sort of compress this rant, but now I can’t any longer. I haven’t seen a more worseless organized webmaster forum. Its basically the exact opposite of Earners Forum. EF is nice, organized, structured, light-colored, with quality posts and posters, and WF is the exact opposite.
Not only that, Jon’s contest was a total fiasco. I think his contests ended over a month ago, and I was one of the winners because I referred 30 members. I have yet to receive a PM from him with at least the download link for a script which he described as a “uniquely made site by his team”.
Then, to top it off, he prohibited me to basically post a link to my blog on WF because he thought I was making threads 100% only for self-promotion and stuff.
Oh well, EF is 100% better, and I think the key characteristic that makes me like it so much is the whole money deal. I feel like working harder just to be like a blue money bar lol. The forum is really well organized, and the posters are really friendly. Oh, and of course, Lee already found the contest winners only after 5 days of it being over. Lee has also replied to the majority of my IMs, if not all, while Jon has never replied to any form of correspondance from me.
Oh, I quit Sitepoint too, its a waste of time now. Charging for Trade Your Services was the icing on the cake for me. 33% of the dollar they’re charging goes to Paypal, I think they’re charging people just to bother. SP now serves only one purpose on my bookmarks list - easiest way to sell stuff.
Nothing’s really new with the network, trying to see how the redesign of Text For Free is doing monetarily.
