A4U Bitches

I have begun to notice over the years that the affiliates4u forum is no longer being used as a sounding board for ideas or a place to make new friends. It has slowly become a place to just slag people off and stab people in the back. Every single day at least one new thread is started with a whinge about this or that. So what does this show me? Are affiliates becoming more bitchy, or with the transgression of affiliate marketing moving to a serious part of the online and marketing world are people becoming more serious about what they do?

I would love to see the forum return to a happier place, and that is coming from the biggest bitch of all. I would like to get back to a place where everyone trusts each other not to steal ideas, bid on brands or any other bad and underhand thing you can think of. The forum should be used as the last place to bitch... That's why we have phones, mobiles, emails, msn's, skypes, pigeons and the Royal Mail.

If people don't respond to you via all the means above, and you truly feel you should warn other people, then yeah by all means let us know. But I really don't care if a merchant cancelled 1 sale out of 100.

Let's get back to discussing how we should all as a team of affiliate bods move the industry forward and come up with new ideas to make some cash!
