LIVE Meltdown at Warrior Forum over Alexa Smith!

[Alexa Smith]

I'm not so sure that Alexa Smith is Allen Says. But I do think both of them are fictional.

Welcome to BHW.

Yeah, what kind of last name is "Says"? That's a fictional persona in itself.

The Alexa Smith persona is unquestionably a fictional persona. The reason the person behind the name has not posted any products to sell personally is because that would mean exposing a real identity through Paypal, or some other payment processor.

The owners of the site are clearly behind the Alexa Smith persona, though. And the oddest thing is that the persona of Alexa Smith persists in light of it clearly being exposed to be a lie.

What does that say about the forum as a whole?

Nothing good, in my view.

In regard to the the same person behind both "Alexa Smith" and "Richard Van" - that is certainly possible. Both have the same agenda and spend far too much time on the forum speaking about the effectiveness of "article syndication" and downgrading anything to do with SEO or efforts to rank in search engines.

One thing seems certain, either the person behind Alexa Smith is the actual owner - or has some sort of ownership interest in the website.

I just happened to search for Alexa Smith Warrior Forum and mentioned there seem to be some bad press and the moderators took me down, then a reply to me down, and then my reply to that reply down, all in a matter of a minute or too. Wow!

My idle theory is that "Alexa Smith" (while apparently set up initially by one individual, long exposed on other threads on WF and BHW) is actually a persona utilized by a group of paid posters/senior members at WF to give 'definitive' answers to thread questions. Instead of continuing an outright circle jerk of the same regulars under their own handles, they're pouring all their faux wisdom into one convenient faux ID with sex appeal. So no wonder why the moderators take down any posters exposing Smith---the moderators are themselves writing 'her' posts!

It is difficult to draw definitive conclusions. I would be more a proponent of her just being a paid poster.

In any group, there will be self interest. It's here. It's there. It's everywhere, but it is up to people to wake up and see it, and find a way to benefit from the amazing dynamic.

Love it when there is drama on the Warrior Forum. It is the only time I go there.

A couple of years ago I had to visit it regularly as I was working as a VA for one of the the "gurus" over there, and he used to ask me to do research on the forum. I used to come across posts by AS and had an intense dislike of the woman, who I then thought was just a normal member - something just didn't feel right.

Interesting article about "her" here.
