Darkside and I began to have a discussion about the art of marketing to crowds and communities on the last half of the first page, and first few posts of the next page here https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/ge...-giving-away-million-dollar-website-idea.html

The main purpose of this thread is to learn how to market through leadership, by inspiring people and cultivating communities. This is subject to change or redefining :p

Darkside proposed a second purpose, which I'm not going to rob him the chance to share with you.
