people in this business are so bizarre. companies like nasty dollars focus on one thing and do it well and people recognize that and they prosper. the affiliate site looks like it was designed by a retarded 3rd grader. but its all they need. no bs. no text that looks like it was written by a 10th grade wigger. no inflated sense of self. no moronic lines about how great they are. no hype and flashy graphics to sell the same old shit that everyone else is selling under the pretense that it is somehow different or better. just business. just like any company should. the bulk of people in this biz hide behind lies, drama, excuses and scams and can't figure out why they experience such limited success. just like in mainstream, great and lasting companies are built on principles with principled, focused and disciplined leaders at the helm. the product/service is not nearly as important as the person/people behind them.
with that, i would suggest that a message board is in fact a community. a community is more than post counts. its about relationships, friendships, entertainment, value/information, support or friends and everything else that makes up every social system. you can't bypass that necessary foundation and build a community. you can only build a network of scammers and sig whores.
