Hi Eric,

Good points all and here's the reason. I add individual forums as the need arises and when there is enough interest and enough posts.

Performics, I just never hear anyone talking about then at ANY forums any more and don't think there has ever been a thread or questions about them ever here.

Linkshare - well they seldom come up here unless I or Chris write about the LS Awards or something. Affiliates have never asked about LinkShare or asked Linkshare related questions. When I tried to do recruiting for a LinkShare merchant awhile back I got 0 affiliates for them. All my affiliates said they did not like working with LinkShare and would not join. So I don't feel I have enough members interested and definitely not enough threads for a dedicated LS forum at this time. If that changes, I will open one.

I realize that if I had a P and LS forum, I could possibly get more discussions going about those 2 networks. However at this time it's not worth taking up the space.

FYI I am testing that concept with the new Amazon forum. Obviously AZ is one of the biggest out there, so I decided to open an Az forum to see if it would attract more AZ members and/or get more AZ threads started. I even enlisted the aid of Gene Kavner the previous director of the AZ associates program as a moderator to help me manage the rush of traffic and all the AZ related questions. So far not much has happened.

So when if the demand arises I will add those and any other forums that make sense. Thanks so much for bringing it up. We are always open to ideas!
