so whatever happened to Wickedfire?

[back2form]

Once upon a time, the WickedFire forum was exceptional, outshining other SEO marketplace forums in my eyes. I had an aged account with over 600 posts on WickedFire.

Years ago, I gained a solid client base for my services through the forum. However, its popularity eventually declined.

Three months ago, I attempted to log into my account but encountered a login error. Despite multiple tries, different methods, and even submitting a support ticket, I received no response. I then created a new account, but it felt pointless.

Moral: WickedFire has lost its spark

Yeah smart as fuck... I'm just reading through one of his old threads on there now. I was chatting to him about Ai not that long ago, just before Skype went offline (I ain't switched to Teams yet)... gave me some solid methords/ideas he'd been working with as we hadn't caught up in a while.



Nah it didn't need to blow up, it catered to a different kind of audience... that's why you'd get big players dropping in there doing AMAs. I could be losing my mind here, but I even seem to remember Cutts making some posts on there back then.

You had guys like Ryan Eagle that owned one of the biggest CPA companies at the time.. it got huge and then went tits up and into brankruptcy.. I remember that being a big drama at the time on there too because a lot of the affiliates didn't get paid when he had to declare bankruptcy. The regulars on there were generally making big money not like other forums with "how can i make $1 per day plz sir" threads, that's what made it unique and why they never really tried to market it.

I've a feeling the whole fall out drama was when the owner sold and then the guys that came along did try to change a lot of stuff and pissed the regulars off.

Mind sharing those AI ideas with us here?

Yes Eagle now runs sidago also launched his other network blamads for content locking after EWA success

Used to show his flashy cars and all that and then he had a dispute with vito glazers and then later Ryans brother passed away

He owed publishers some 200k btw do you guys remember there was a top affiliate by the name Ralf Ruckman who was one of the founders of convert2media

Wonder where he is as he also created a paid forum that too got sold after that he went mia

Some epic laughs on there, didn't the owner sell at one point and then there was some drama or some shit.

The characters and anything goes vibe was tops, some smart members too that shared solid stuff (go back to the old threads past the spam shit on there now in the "Enlightened Members" section) - that was ahead of it's time back then, some big names would pop up on there too because it was a smaller forum but with bright minds and laughs.

I got friendly and worked with "CCarter" through there... smart mofo. WF went down hill for some reason/drama I just can't remember what it was. Most of their members headed over to "Builder Society" forum including CCarter at the time.

I thought I heard something about it getting sold to some guy who tried putting up paywalls or something crazy and it put people off. I might be mixing it up with another forum but I’m pretty sure that was WF.

I heard the same tbh. Seems like these dumbfucks who buy IM forums all have the same knack of making stupid fucking decisions and running them into the ground.

Yeah it was something along those lines, I just can’t remember exactly now.

Haha never a truer word spoken!

Warrior Forum was owned by Alan Says and Paul Myers was heavily involved, but they sold it to Freelancer.com for $3m about 10/11 years back. I have/had a lifetime War Room membership, but have not logged on more than once is the last 6 years or so.

Gabrial Marchant was hired to run it ( he asked me to become a moderator on there ) I declined and a year later, I think it was, he walked away from the job.

Wicked Fire was a good place too, back in the day, I was on there before I joined BHW, the marketplace was decent too, but then it became crowded with people offing Senuke, GSA, Xrumer services and a lot of the good services were buried.

I remember in 2011 when Gabriel Machuret used to run some apps coaching and I had approached him for it but I refrained from joining

Mobile apps money making was some thing during that time
