A few years ago, I moved the real estate articles from their home on the DFWREIN web site to the message boards. My hope was that the staff at DFWREIN would have an easier time adding articles to the web site. It seems to me that only a few of the DFWREIN staff members ever knew about the forums at all. Adding the articles there was a bust.

This web site comes with a content management system. Every article or page is really a list of posts in a WordPress database. I modified a StudioPress theme which already many of these conventions installed. This means that articles are as easy to enter as any post. The only difference is that the article author is not usually the same person who added the article.

Another reason for adding articles to the DFWREIN forum was to get people to reply to them. Was it good? Did it suck? Is there some correction needed? That worked. A little. Very few people write in forums when compared with the number of people who read forums. It’s something like a 1 or 2 percent ratio, except in paid forums where members feel obligated to post messages.

Articles will go into the Articles category as well as the category for that particular article.

Apparently there is a federal warrant out for the arrest of Cliff Robertson. I have not seen the warrant, nor have I confirmed it with the FBI.

Edit: My source for the FBI warrant information was wrong. Cliff Robertson, the owner of DFWREIN, is being investigated by the FBI in connection with complaints raised by people who believe they were ripped off. There is no warrant for his arrest. An investigation by the FBI does not mean Cliff is guilty of anything. I will keep you informed of any news.

Hi, I am the web master for DFWREIN.com. If you are being billed for a membership in DFWREIN please contact your bank or credit card company to stop the charges.

The web site may remain up for some time. The domain name is still in the possession of the previous DFWREIN owner. I’m sure she is working on plans to do something with the domain name, but, for now, those plans remain unspecified. If you would like to discuss Cliff, the club or any other subject related to real estate investing, feel free to post a comment.
