getting paid to post and getting paid for your sig ?
Or at least that is what I am seeing as I go through the threads.
Sorry to sound neg on my first post here, but I have been lurking for quite a while, so my opinion is not based on any one particular post/thread or poster.
So, where are the business threads ? Where are the seasoned veterans helping out the noobs (other than the worship...err..I mean ask FM room) ?
Anybody want to buy my sig ??

Welcome Sarettah, the key to succes in any business is to listen, learn and be positive.
We have a lot of seasoned and not so seasoned members here, that's one of the more interesting aspects of the board.
The promo's and pay per post make the place more lively. I hardly think anyone is here just for those.
Selling sigs, I've always encouraged that, it's another way to increase the revenue for those who do sell them and great exposure for the advertisers who get seen. I think a board without sigs is doomed to failure. Sigs are on just about every successfull board.
Have fun and get involved. This is a participatory board.

No, the key to success in any business is to work it. Listening and learning are good things but at some point you have to take what you learn and put it into action.

Not seeing much seasoning actually. See names that I haven't seen on any other boards posting.

They also dilute the post quality as undoubtedly some folks are just posting for the cash. For future reference, in case I stay here. Do not ever write me a check for posting, period. If I wanted to be a boardwhore I would charge a shit load more than a dime a post.

again, it also dilutes the quality of the posts because you end up with folks just posting for sigview rather than to participate. Yes most board have sigs turned on but I only know of one other that I associate myself with that encourages the pay for sig space viewpoint. The board where the most seasoned vets hang out discourages the paying for sigspace ar carrying banners other than your own.

Then why all the closed threads that were closed because they were "about the board". If it is going to be participatory then you should be encouraging discussion of the board and how it can be made better. IMHO of course.

Sarettah you said, "..Then why all the closed threads that were closed because they were "about the board". If it is going to be participatory then you should be encouraging discussion of the board and how it can be made better. IMHO of course..."
Because we got tired of discussing the board, the board is not a self centered entity where all we talk about is the board. We have to talk about other things.
I hope that makes sense.
I bolded those lines in because of this, on his board currently:
