Successful(if she means 6 figures) people have little to nothing in common with people who visit forums.
Curiosity is the only reason why a successful person would be on a internet forum.
Do successful business people go on online forums?

Aspkin is a form for dudes making 100k to a half mill a year on eBay. So 
. And that's some small money for business forums

Depends on what you consider successful. A lot of people here make good money...close to or 6 figures and post regularly. i will say if any of them decided to start their own business they would post less.
Have you thought of seeking a mentor?
Is the question do successful business people go on forums like this or do they go on specific forums tailored to the industry they are in?

Honestly I thought that was what the OP was asking. If we are being real I doubt many exceptionally wealthy people spend their time on forums like these. Now as for dudes making 6 figs working a job type cats yeah but cats making non entertainment millionaire moves not so much. Ive saw it though at another site I post on though but definitely don't think its the norm.

That is a brilliant idea. There are mentors at uni but those are millionaires looking to mentor entrepreneurs and I don't necessarily have that kind of idea to be mentored on.
That said a few opportunities of being mentored have come my way in the past, I guess I wasn't ready then. Thanks for the reminder, I'll seek this out.
Also to answer your question does not have to be industry specific. I'll have extra disposable income. I don't want to get into the habit of spending that much more so I'll be able to make significant savings. How do you turn that amount into something a lot more significant? I want a mentor (Thanks again) who's been in a similar situation regardless of the industry. If they do work in Africa then that's icing on the cake/jump for joy kind of extra but doesn't have to be the case.
Go on Quora.com breh, it's a website founded a couple years ago by the co-founder of Facebook. Literally thousands of CEOs and successful people post there every day giving invaluable knowledge about business, startups, history, personal development and life in general. Just subscribe to the weekly newsletter and you'll receive a summary of many interesting and thoughtful Q/A's. I highly recommend it.
warriorforum.com ---- internet marketing, ecommerce, etc
blackhatworld.com ----- "blackhat" internet marketing, ecommerce, etc [I personally prefer this over warriorforum, in fact I haven't even been on wf in years now that I think about it]
reddit.com/r/entrepreneur [As a matter of fact you're in luck. There's a guy on there right now worth 5 million in personal net worth and has a company worth 30 million that he owns 80% of who's doing an ask me anything thread right now]
There are successful people on here too, they don't advertise it much but sometimes they'll mention it in passing [if you only look at troll threads in TLR you won't ever catch their posts btw]. Some of the things they've done to make money I've seen have been anything from eBay, forex/stocks, porn, sex toys, blogs, etc.

Come on now. The only billionaires that don't have a computer are making their money selling oil or some type of mineral or something. Or they made their money before the dot com boom.
You guys talking about rich people not being on forums are spewing complete horse shyt.
This is the AMA I mentioned in my post above. http://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/2q96rl/back_again_5m_personal_net_worth_a_handful_of/
Dude did one of these 2 months ago and mentioned his top rappers being: Big, Big L, Pun, and Jay. Idk if he knows about thecoli but Im sure he's no stranger to hiphop forums with a list like that.
It's 2014, there's millionaires who make their money making youtube videos and shyt. To say these types aren't on forums is ridiculous.

I'm a play low on this one homie... niccas need to get offline, read some books, arrange a job shadowing experience, identify a mentor in their desired profession, join a occupational/professional organization, enroll in some entrepreneurial classes and get more overall exposure. And all that shyt is free.
Fukk these niccas man... most ain't trying to do shyt. Wish 'em them best, tho.
