Once more with feeling!

Hello BHW!! - I 'm a "newbie" on this forum but I have been a long time and respected member of another popular BH that was once well regarded but in my estimation has since fallen in quality so now I have to start over. It was a painful transition . It's not easy to l have to abandon 4+ years of memebrship in a community that was once thriving. Anyway, some of you will know me because I know some of you.

Welcome! I've lurked around this and other forums for over 10 years now.

I haven't been able to figure out yet if this community is still thriving, or if it is in decline.

There's a lot of noise-to-signal, for sure, but once you find out who knows what they're talking about and you go down the rabbit hole of their old posts, there is a ton to learn.

Sounds like you know your stuff, so hopefully you wont just get trolled like some of the newbies do with their (admittedly stupid) questions.

I would be interested in hearing about your experience wherever else you were, why did things fall apart?

Hey "G" thanks for responding. I won't mention the old BH by name because [they] are not important but compared to them now, BHW is much better.

The decline started after the founders decided to bail and hand over the site to a group that were complete assholes.

Anything and everything you can do to ruin a site and kill membership, they did it. Not sure why they did because it puts them in the category of being retarded and I don't like to call anyone that unless they really are.

On another subject; I've been away from the IM game for years now. It's where I got my start. I made good money at it but lost interest and let life's daily grind send me into mental and physical decline. During those years I lost my wife, one of my sons and found myself in a legal bind. It was bad and I lost my taste for IM altogether.

More recently (since 2014) I've been making my way through in the offline world as a marketing consultant to small business owners (talk about being retarded!) where I have learned that some people can't be helped. Once I decided to accept that, things have slowy began to change and opportunities began to come my way.

As for the rolls, they are going to make a living too, albeit at the expense of those less learned but that's life on the streets. Learn or burn I say. You gotta be tough in this world, online is no different.

As for those stupid newbie questions. It's not the level of stupidity that bothers me so much as the sheer audacity of some of them.

"Can I see a sample of your keywords", "can you give me an example of one of your money sites", can you..., can you... I mean damn, someone takes the time to toss them a bone and they can't even be bothered to do any work on their own.

"Sure, here a link to my best money site. Do you want to fuck my woman too? Want her number? - Let me publish that for ya" It's amazing.
