Thanks for the follow up, Pieter ... that's pretty much the way it is in a nutshell.
I come on too strong on occasion ... one of my many faults, but it's almost always due to my passion ... to maintain an environment conducive to JV Marketing success for all partners. When I see a hypey subject in the main discussion area (what you do to get people to read your JV profile post is your business, as long as it's based on fact ... it's your brand your playing with), and then the post is a garden variety, super generic question (EX. How do I get tons of traffic .... tons of subscribers, etc. ... FREE?!?!) ...
Let's put it this way ... I've owned, moderated, and otherwise run a number of forums since 2000 ... so I'm a bit jaded.
Before the year is out, you'll have access to not simply a better JVNP for newbie to advanced JV Marketers ... but a totally new and improved IM4Newbies Forum for newbie to intermediate Internet Marketers ... promise.
But ... regardless of all that, there will still be no tolerance for hypey posts.
