My problem is I am a professor's son  Cannot hold myself off from spreading what I know or come across or feel is just (hey I am holding myself off from saying many things here on these forums as I am new and MODS can kick me out in no time)
But I have been into chats/forums for 15+ years; found forums to be a big convoluted world (not this one - I am still learning  ) but think about almost every forum earning money based on traffic. Who brings traffic? Members. But where the money goes? Should not there be a "profit sharing" plan on every forum?
World is not there yet but someday every member on a forum will be sharing profit I believe.
Reason why I mentioned Deal Forums is that those forums earn the most not only because of traffic (ads) but through referrals, and affiliate programs. Members are happy to get deals, cash backs, etc ... fine ... but what they dont realize is that (for example; I am just making it up) FW giving a 3% cash back might very well be getting 5% cash back from KOHLS as a publisher through affiliate program meaning earning 2% out of a KOHLS deal posted on a forum ... Oh well ... sometime I go beyond what I should have said I guess. Knowing too much has its own problems
