Hi Samantha,
Thanks for the info.But I think most forums do not allow you to contact affiliates upfront.Have you been able to recruit good affiliates through forums within a short span of time.I think one has to first get active on forums,get to know people and as mentioned by all,develop a good rapport and a good relationship and only after that the affiliates would contact you,rather than we contacting the affiliates.
This is what I have read from most of the forums.
Cheers
