Jane-I think they are referring to me leaving like others have in the past. Though I could be wrong about that. That is how I read it anyway.
TDBXOO-While I appreciate the support, I actually think posts like this cause more problems then solutions. At least in the manner it was brought up.
I am sure that people make good effort to support my work, if they so desire to do so. I choose to provide the information I do for free, and do so knowing that could decrease book sales.
I do not get a lot of sales through JP Fitness or even blog visits and contrary to what some believe here, I post purely out of the dedication to the people who supported me in the beginning. I like and am friends with some of them outside of this forum. I could make far more sales and conversions doing other things with the time I spend here answering PM's or forum posts.
Over the course of my whole sub forum I have personally recommended the book twice, maybe three times? I take very special care to note promote my blog (aggressively) or any other things I am doing as to not provide the wrong kind of view as to my work and integrity. I try to keep my answers to helping on the questions themselves, not pimping my books.
I don't know how much longer I will have a subforum here. This forum is also a business to other people, so it isn't in my control. I will post here as long as I have the time or am allowed to due to business agreements. I will say that it is likly with the release of Body By Eats that there will be changes in my subforums presence here.
Even if I no longer have a subforum here, I will still be apart of the community and support the people of JP Fitness and always will. It may just be as a casual poster though in the future instead of specific to question answering.
