Here is Part I of my review of message boards for a Quote.com Webmaster: Moderator ~ My Webwide Message Board Review - Part I I comb the Web constantly for the best and most active message boards as well as useful, entertaining messages. As a VERY active message board poster and host at times, I can tell you this... 1. The Silicon Investor Website is deceased, but doesn't know it yet. Only dizzy snobs and lost souls post there now. It used to be the creme de la creme of message sources. Now KGB Operatives run it and censor and spy on everyone. Must be because the management changed. Avoid or use it as a contrarian indicator. In the old days you could go there and look at the "Most Active Threads" and write down the names of the stocks mentioned the most and buy them A.S.A.P., then watch the tone of the posts and usually sell them after a few days or weeks and rake in easy money. Homer Simpson could do this! 2. The Lycos Board was stillborn and remains dead to this very day. 3. Yahoo is where most of the action is now. It reminds me of WOW Online in it's short life as an ISP. It's one of the last remaining untamed Wild Wild West Territories of the Net! YAHOO! Bang! Bang! You can be as many aliases as U wish and say anything and everything. It's full of kooks, the mentally ill, as well as true demented geniuses. If you read enough posts you can generally gauge what a stock will do that day or the next day. Many of these single Yahoo stock threads have hundreds, sometimes thousands of posts on a single day! 4. The Quote.com thread here has a really great start, it just needs to get more active. I kindly encourage Yahooers to come here and participate, and some have. Get the word out to the public! The format seems easy to use. Good interface. My advice to Webmasters: Avoid excessive censorship. A little friction and occasionally a little cussing between posters is a necessary and entertaining ritual that makes posting fun! Stopping a great cock fight restrains intellectual passion and free thought. It will kill a board like a slow acting poison. That's what's happening to Silicon Investor. The suckers that paid a huge sum for it have ruined it and it's not worth even a million now.
