    how vulnerable is your business to the message boards?

    do you depend on them? could they destroy your business depending on how you are perceived? or do they really not affect your business?

    what do you think?

    Not at all. I got banned and business isn't dropping. It's about relationships. Once you build them you don't need the board.

    Besides any new folks joining are just russians and surfers so it makes no difference for at least the last 6 months.

      depends on just how transparent you make it. you'd be a fool to take your biz secrets out into the public... and if you keep it at least somewhat low, you have nothing to fear

          And plus, what kind of vulnerabilities are there? Shaving? Just don't do it and you have nothing to fear.

                    same here, as a designer it made me where I am now.

                    Lately I get the most orders from people who refferered me though.

                      Most of my business is done through word of mouth and previously existing relationships, the boards are not as important to me as they once were. Though very soon I will be taking advantage of their power once again.

                          Message boards aren't as important to me now as when i was first starting, although there's still some people i'd like to due biz with, so it wouldn't bone my business, but it would probably piss me off.
