Or a quicker way is to use a forum where people are friendlier and genuinely want to help you?
That way you skip all the nonsense and get straight to the meat and potatoes :)
Blunt feedback is the best way to describe this issue.
It's like mob mentality.
So what if people ask dumb questions?
They're here to learn.
If they knew the answer, they wouldn't ask.
@Ozzy, I joined this forum in 2007, and this place seemed much friendlier back then.
What happened?
This is exactly why I was so annoyed at the response I got to my question.
It feels like you're being jumped on by "the mob"
Whatever happened to people helping each other?
Ozzy, I do agree @Clinton adds some gold nuggets of information to the forum.
He just lets himself down with his delivery.
But hey, sometimes we've just got to read between the lines ;)
I'm glad I'm not the first to notice his poor social skills.
That's reassuring.
So let me get this right, you allow him to use your forum (probably for his own financial gain), and he openly admits he doesn't like you?
That is the height of disrespect.

They have about 25 staff, all depending on my websites for work.
I would estimate a 60k monthly turnover.
And even if I sell...
Thanks, this is all I wanted.
Would you base the figure on net profit?
Or annual turnover?
(I know this might sound stupid to some people, sorry for asking)
You make it sound like people like me aren't welcome here.
You don't even know the situation and seem to be jumping to a lot of conclusions.
I'm not trying to "persuade" anyone to buy anything.
My client has asked me to sell them my websites, and I'm trying to figure out a fair price for...
Just reading over this again......not because it was helpful....but because it comes across as if you're trying to put me down.
I can honestly say I've never had anyone answer a question in this manner.
God knows how you get any business.
