Wow i just saw it right now that WF requires a payment of 10$ for every new member. They say they doing this to avoid spammers but wtf :P

Next thing you know they'll be charging visits by the minutes spent on site.
Ah well - never cared for them anyway

You just saved yourself $10 and an unlimited amount of wasted time

omfg .... is this for real:O:O

$10 for a load of useless shite information, that most of they are trying to sell you for $10 once you have paid the scandalous sign up charge. Which you then go on to realize is just mindless rehashed 1999 shit.

$10 for coming in contact of self-proclaimed gurus who can virtually ruin your thinking capacity and make you a jackass.

Cheers

What did you expect?

WTF? Is this for real? This is a bigger WTF than the 10$ required to register.

Personally I think that's a smart move on their part. Say goodbye to bot accounts and throw-away spam accounts.

lol! So true. Actually this will prevent noobs from jumping in WF and so they will save their time from getting wrong information. BHW can expect a good amount of noobs now

bravo, today everybody who has at least one WF account earned $10 w/ doin nuthin

The WF is full of noobs selling stuff to noobs, not many in there who know anything other than to scam money out of noobs. With noobs the warrior forum will be no more.

I am so glad I found BHW when I did. I spent about a month on WF before finding this forum, and never bothered going back.

Agree with 7878. Paid registration is good. Low barrier to entry to sift only interested people.

Now that they have a measure to minimize spam, their problem is how to weed out existing self-proclaimed "gurus."

Really!

Why would they want to do that? The more gurus they have, the more they can use that as advertising. They also have to pay to make money. All around a win for the owners of WF.

I can see the reasoning behind this, just hope that it won't be as catastrophic.

This is why I like this forum better. The people are 10x nicer, and at WF, all the people want to do is try to sell you their WSOs.

And inevitably ruin the site like they did digital point.

Ya, next time they will ask for kidney

this is just rediculous... simply!

I would understand if BHW responded by doing the same, even if it's just a $1 signup fee. Otherwise, this forum will become infested with the dregs of the IM world.

And now we can expect thousands of new registrations here, woo!

shitty forum anyway,i am using that forum when i am bored ,1 -2 times /year

i had an account i wanted to login today they told me i should change my password upon seeing the change password form was a $10 charge i was like WTF is this a joke i bet the site owner wanna be the next billgates

Why not when you can make few hundred bucks copying text into pdfs and sell them there?

There's two serious issues that come with paid forums. One is a sense of entitlement, where a percentage of the membership has a "I paid $10 I deserve help/to spam/be a dick" attitude, and the second and more troubling is potential unjust enrichment for the management of the forum, as scammers have no trouble ponying up $10 repeatedly to con people and for some reason paying members of any community end up with unwarranted trust and credibility just for buying their ticket, so to speak.

I admit to some of the same prejudices here, I don't trust any earning claims from anybody who's not a donor, for example, which is not to say I take anyone else's claims at face value, just that why if somebody made at least $x,xxx/month would they not donate here?

WF is still useful (like DP) as a reliable market to sell IM stuff to, be it quality stuff or yet another knock-off WSO. The site is ful of Mikeys who will eat up almost any lame WSO somebody drums up, so if you need an extra hundred here and there, why not hack one out?

From the time i posted that they got 22 new members :P I dont want to know how much this will raise their daily income :P

I think they have been doing that for a while. I was a member there at some point but when I went to sign in I forgot my password. When they emailed me my new password they said I had to pay. So I said screw them.

They should make it free for noobs... Then who will buy those stupid ebooks?

I know only one thing : and that one thing is that i was stupid as hell because i didn't started IM forum with marketplace without them.

Now i would be rich as hell...

$10? REALLY?

Selling all WF accounts - $5 each.

PM me!

I was gonna say the same thing, with that being said BHW should adopt the same policy.

from the site that gave us "alexa smith".

Great move! More cash for the admins... after all, isn't why they are running the forum? Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.

Very brilliant to just profit from it and too even use spammer issue. If there's any forum who is worthy to charge per sign up, And that is BHW! WF=><=BHW

Smart move by WF admin. He is finally on the bandwagon of ripping of noobs.

Good luck to them trying to chase $500 from international visitors/members. Besides, whats the point of paying $$$ to join the WF when everyone knows that you can get most of their WSO's here for free. At one point I was a member, but when I realised that the "paid" WSO's were being shared for free elsewhere I abandoned them. Because WSO's get ripped left right and centre, it's not worth anyone's time to create the latest "Make $21,657.92c in 4 weeks without lifting a finger" WSO and try selling it...

so i missed a great chance for a fantastic free account.. what a shame.

If WF is full of noobs, then I've got a money makin' formula for you guys right here:

1. Quit whining that WF is full of noobs.
2. Create a product.
3. Sell product to WF noobs.

They also justify this shit with the fact that you have the access to a new forum: the Build Your Viral Traffic Network! forum

the owner of the site is a dude named Allen Says...search on here for a book called Cuthroat Tactics -- easily one of the most impressive IM books I have on my HD...he knows how to make money!

WF has hit critical mass...and the users there are not snotty nosed broke kids looking to rip people off to make a quick buck...they are mostly middle aged people with jobs looking for additional income through the internet...the self appointed gurus are the smartest MoFo's on there because they realize their market is a gold mine just ripe for the picking.

When most of you broke dudes evolve in your IM career -- you will try to become some kind of "guru" too because you will realize you get rich by having a list of followers that spend money with you not only for the information you share -- but just because they like you!

Also remember...just because you know something and think its common knowledge doesnt mean everyone knows it too..that was a major realization for me and once I accepted it...I was able to make wayyy more money!

I always wondered why BHW dont do this, but owner of BHW is smart he is already making tons of money off ads, sell threads, junior vip members and more so I guess i see why he does not. But on another note, I probably would $1 per new member $10 a year... He have hundreds of thousands of members here so it would add up

offering a wf account for $9
