That will leave no-one doing free support. Ditto on SIMPLE making me less inclined to sign up for Stompernet. The content has been excellent (as long as you have enough tech-savvy to understand it). The attitude from the start has been patronising, at best. With the next month’s pay point coming up, most of the remaining forum posters seem to be about to leave SIMPLE (including me).

I've said before that I can't see where the value is going to come from in the longer term. As a 3 month online course then it could work excellently; as an ongoing mentoring group it only works if the faculty put in consistently. The problem as far as signing me up for full StomperNet goes is that the more I'm with SIMPLE the less inclined I feel to sign up for full StomperNet. I don't think Ed is the problem as he has a consistent record with internet marketing education. Compare SIMPLE with Immediate Edge - Ed Dale is also involved with that - I'm not a member (yet) but have heard great things about it because the content that comes out of it from Dan Raine and Ed is first class. David Jim,

It's kind of obvious. During the trial they were in the forums. Now that they've got your signup and your money they're not. Makes one wonder why the sudden change. I had my doubts and made my decision with the announcement of the scaling down of Ed's messages. I interpreted it as, "We accomplished our goal, we got you to click that signup button. So use this material that doesn't require a lot of our time and go figure it out." I’ve heard of people who’ve left the full StomperNet because the big names did not participate in the forums.
