I hear people say all the time that posting is counterproductive and not profitable. I think that is far from the truth. Nearly every business relationship I have was established first on a messageboard and then only later grew from personal meetings, emails, and phone calls. Yeah - well, since you're reading this - I'm preaching to the choir but I felt I had to vent.
Even today, I am still meeting people for the first time at shows that I first came into contact with on messageboards. The messageboard served as our introduction. They are as viable as ever. Maybe more so.

I feel that it is rarely directly profitable, but has a lot of power to get your name out there and let people know who you are and what you are about. Of couse if you are an ass, they will figure that out as well.
Plus I run into and do business with people from the boards that I never would have otherwise met.
In the long run it is profitable..
