GPWA launches new wiki
We're pleased to announce the GPWA has launched a wiki. Unlike forums, wikis enable a community to collaborate with one another to develop articles that represent the knowledge and experience of all the members. Our wiki "launch project" is sharing with one another how to evaluate affiliate programs. Between all of us we have a great deal of expertise in this area. And we believe we can all benefit by sharing that knowledge. Like all successful wikis, the work we do together will expand to cover a wide variety of topics driven by the interests and expertise of our members.

GPWA forums pass quarter-million post mark!
At 6:50 a.m. EST this past Saturday, the 250,000th post was made in the GPWA forums! BetPartners made the milestone post and it was the 187th post in a thread originally started by GFPC in April. Then six minutes later, Chalkie responded to help us break the quarter-million post mark. Without the devoted participation of our members, the GPWA forum simply would not be what it is today. Thank you for your continued support and participation.
