if 1 person could bring in 200 joins a day, that would be big shit. im sure there are a few guys that can do that consistently, but why brag about it?

bragging about how many joins a day you can do is petty.
Are you so sure? I'm not a fan of braggarts but it wouldn't make you look like a jackass.
To be quite honest 200 joins a day for a new program is absolutely awesome. I don't believe they're doing it... They're not doing it, maybe they bought 3-4k worth of traffic and got 200 joins for one day... but not in a sustainable way.
Big programs don't generally join in and shit on smaller programs.. I mean where is the (for eg) TCG rep in here dressing meta down because they're doing 1000 a day or whatever? It doesn't really happen. They're too busy making cash to be pissing on boards.

And you know what? if meta is doing it, it is brag-worthy. I don't like bragging but you'd have to respect that, even from "just" hooking a couple of whales.. I mean, no disrespect to Quiet intended here, I really like him, he's probably one of the only guys here i'd actually want to share a drink with, but half of GFY treats him as a god because he pulled in 3M on his sites. And you know what? deservedly so... 200 joins a day should eventually be pulling in a vaguely similar amount for a program depending on how profitably you run things, retention etc, but most people aren't going to split hairs after the mill mark.
A lot of 1-5 site programs aren't doing anything near 200.

But i get your point now, I thought you were playing the whole "player by inference" thing. The reason is that really meta wasn't "bragging" he was lying/defending/whatever after attack.
Theres a difference between just going on about how many joins you pull in and publishing how many joins you pull in to show the public you're a viable business and it's not the "beginning of the end". Thats a direct defense/rebuttal. So thats why I thought you were pissing on the monetary amount. Your actual words were "200 joins a day is nothing to brag about", and I still disagree with that statement. They might be a bragging cocksucker depending on they way they say it but i'd have respect for the achievement.
