Revenue Sharing

[netridge]

From a users point of view does revenue sharing make a large difference when you decided to participate on a forum. Is it one of the deciding factors to be active?

I'm trying to gather information for myself and see what users think of revenue sharing on forums.

It's pointless.
Everyone knows that you get like, 0.001 a month.
Don't expect that to be a leading factor on signups.

We know that, but you could get a lot of signups from people who don't know that...

That's exactly what I was thinking, the average user wouldn't know he isn't going to earn that much but its more like a bait and switch tactic.

But then they might make a bunch of worthless posts, thinking that it will make them rich! :sroll:

Very good point RHM.
Guess it depends on the forum niche in that sense.

But then again that's what the forum rules are for, to weed out the spam. If they spam they get banned. :twisted:
