While it may be a good idea to charge for chatrooms, there are so many that are free.

http://www.financialchat.com has a great room.  join the activetrader room with over 188 users.

Jim .. I agree with you on seminars, that's why we are offering 2 per month – instead of having people blindly follow I'd rather teach what I know, Muddy would rather teach what he knows and allow other traders to become just as successful..

Jim its quality not quantity, if expotential growth carried the quality along with it I'd agree with you. If you haven't realized in the weeks/months you'd been in chat we aren't like your normal Yahoo, IRC, Java chat room. if you disagree that's your choice..

I'd rather it grow by word of mouth .. if it does anything like the past it could double every 3 months..

I wish you luck as well .. perhaps we'll see you around… perhaps not

I agree, I think alot of people will not pay for this, I am not sure I will. It was nice, i thought it was a community thing, you know get together and share ideas and alerts. I would have donated for bandwidth and stuff but as far as paying for it as a service I am not sure, it ruins the community aspect of it for me.

It's not $99 guys, its $10 a week – read the post and read what I sent out.. its $39 a month use promo code ILIVE60

It is a community thing, clearly you guys didn't read anything that was sent otherwise you would have seen the pricing and second you'd see the adidtion of seminars HELPING YOU OUT – if you don't want to join don't join guys no one is forcing anyone to do anything here.

Go to financial chat I used to trade there as well back in the day not sure how it is now.. if you guys want to keep going back with each other here feel free too

As I've mentioned a million times in chat, I like to build thing, I like to build projects, sites communities etc. Why stop at making money 5 days a week when you can make money an additional 2 days a week and feel good about teaching a zillion traders.

This isn't a community built overnight and I'm not looking to build it over night, this is a word of mouth thing one successful trader tells another and so on and so forth, if you want to be part of it great, if not,… no biggy

Its a nominal amount, I'd rather fund future developments with money made from current ones..

Clearly these are comments coming from people who haven't been in chat for a long time, who haven't been in chat after hours from 6pm to midnight when I, Muddy Laura and tort field questions throughout the night or the Saturday's or Sunday's we've donated to new traders, nor those who appreciate scans done nightly on my site, no those who appreciate the scans, techniques and willingness of everyone involved.

Heading out for now – feel free to continue to talk amongst yourself

I just got to say thank you guys. I've learn a lot in the last few weeks. i woke up everymorning looking  forward to log in and open the chat to be part of it and learn something new everyday. You help a lot of people during this time and alll of us should be thankful for that. The community idea is great, made most of us feel like a family. You do what u do for whatever reason i just have to thank you for al the things u share with everyone and wish you the best to all of you.

Dostroy – Muddy and Laura are in chat as always and also available on their blogs if you'd like to ask them any questions. We've built the chat, spent endless hours after hours and through the weekends helping anyone wanting to learn and with that decided anyone and everyone will benefit from what we are creating. We'll be introducing a knowledge base which will grow with the site, along with all seminars allowing everyone to get on the same page. As you know its a different style of trading, in fact its based around simplicity. Not many people have taken the time to review all of the blogs and really get it, some people have and realize the asset the chat is. All good things end up costing things so we can continue to make them better. If you use the quarterly option its just under $8.50 a week, if you really feel that's unfair then there's nothing I can do. We want to expand our offerings, teach traders to become just as successful as Muddy and creat something which can grow on its own.

I will have a post tomorrow regarding more information on the Q and A seminar and a scan up tonight.

well as they say all good things come to an end.  i was a new user, only watching for about 3 or 4 months,  as a friend showed me the site.  I figured it was going to go this way, a pay site that is.  Unfortunately many seem to feel the same way, betrayed in a way.  Nobody can help how they feel, after all, you cant blame a man for wanting to make as much money as possible and maybe even stop having to trade, or just get a bunch of extra cash.  Its in man's nature to make as much money as is feasible, so it just made sense to take this to the next level. As for me, I see sites start up free, then go pay and I go away.  Its one thing to make money in the market, but as a community it was nice to help each other out and make money with each other, not make money at anothers expense.  Good luck and thanks for some of the tips.
