Best thing about this forum is finding out what things have made it into such common circulation, that they are about to fade out.

So then what...

So how do people find these secret places to get something less than ancient news?

I have a couple ways that I've been using for emergency MS but they aren't anything you'd want to do on a daily basis. Good for when you really need a few extra thousand in a rush though.

Ditto. If I encounter a bump in the road with one of my methods usually just pop in here to see if there's any other data points of the same issue. You're better off trying to figure new things out on your own then searching for something new here.

I come here to see what problems people are having with specific avenues. That way I can either try to avoid them, or not freak out when Lucky Dollar Debit's bill pay is down for the umpteenth time after having seen numerous posts about the problem in the past.

Finding something new on these is nil for most people. I lucked out a few weeks ago when some new guy posted a bonanza only available at one regional grocery chain. So checking a few times a week, just might make it worth my while wading through threads like: "I'm new and I want you to tell me how to get rich because I'm too special to have to read threads or use that google thing."

I still visit often, but I haven't seen any useful methods in a long time.

other forms on FT ? Is this like Freemasons or skull and bones where we just have to wait for a tap on the shoulder?

I come here constantly and for the past few months there hasn't been anything new. It seems like everyone is coming here for information but nobody is showing up to share any. The one guy who shared the Deleware thing got flamed to death.

This. The inner sanctum. They laugh at us. Call us names. Burn effigies of us, or at least print out long threads of drivel and use it for kindling.

The Delaware thing is sloppy seconds, and it is not what it once was.

To the topic at hand... as this is a pretty active site, I come here for the banter and a snapshot of current event related to the public methods that are applicable to my MS routine. If I decide to delve into something with which I have little experience, I use this site as a resource.

For "new methods" that are worth a damn, if I'm reading about it for the first time here, I already missed the boat somewhere.

I visit this forum to see the dead deals. That's what most of the deals here are.

The bluebirds stay around for a bit, but that's because they can't be abused.
