Dear Investors Hub Member:
I am sending this note for a variety of reasons.? The first being, it
has been sometime since I last wrote the entire community, so I
wanted to see how everybody was doing.? Second, I wanted to
point out several new features and policies, including a free
liftetime subscription to the site, ad-free.? Third, invite everybody
back that stopped in when the site was under major construction
and haven't been back since.? And finally, I want to point out
some rather outstanding boards that are populating the streets of
iHub.
First, for those that don't know me, allow me to introduce myself.
I am Matt Brown.? I founded and run the site.? I get great
enjoyment out of discussing the equity markets and teaching
what I know to others in a professional environment -- which is
why I started the site.? I post under the name of IH Admin (Matt)
and am always available to settle site problems, fix bugs, or
discuss new ideas.? You can find me hanging out on the
Question and Answer Board (ticker:MATT).? Stop by and
introduce yourself, if you haven't already.
I hope everyone is doing well.? The market hasn't been very
friendly to anyone, so I've been playing it quiet on the trading
front as well.? But the summer is about over and the boards are
starting to light up.? Especially some of the OTC BB boards.? Plus,
the new ECN trade routing proposal for the OTC BB will further
increase interest.? I think most people will agree we are now
approaching the bottom as we head into the fourth quarter.? We
shall see.
New Features
I can't even remember the last time I sent an e-mail to everyone
(the site was pretty small, then), so I will go over some of the best
features that iHub has to offer.? IH has always been about
innovating and improving the flow of communications regarding
stock discussions.? We've added some pretty cool features that
appear to be working very well.? First thing you will notice is a
newly improved Board and Message View.? More organized with
more features.? A much faster site with slimmer code.? Easier
navigation.? Some other features that come to mind are Private
Messages within the site (no need for e-mails -- better privacy and
faster!), a good Favorites page, integrated E-mail lists for each
board, Live Chat Room, Hot Lists to show community hot spots,
and many other features that leave the other sites behind in
regards to technology and user interface.
New Policies
Most of the new policies that will be taking effect soon can be
found here:
investorshub.com
d=170519
The main issues being a few changes in the Chairman of the
Board concept that will improve the flow of posts and the general
atmosphere, and the other being going to a subscription model.
The site has grown to a point where spammers, whackos, and
those with the sole intent of disrupting are finding their way here.
So time to stop them in their tracks.? I am implementing a small
charge as an entrance fee into the site.
For now, that fee will be $50 for a lifetime membership.? It will
scale upwards at various membership intervals.? This is being put
in place to ensure that the quality of discussions do not degrade.
For everybody that is currently a member, you are grandfathered
in to the new system.? You have all helped to build the site to
what it is today, so there is no fee. You will get all the new
advanced features that come along with the new platform, such
as No Banner Ads, Viewing 10 Messages at a time, Real-Time
Search, and some market data applications.? I am also working
on getting Level 2 and streaming applications on the site very
soon.
I am closing the free membership to the site on Tuesday,
September 4th, 2001.? Once closed, everybody that is currently a
member will be allowed to refer 2-3 people to get free, lifetime
subscriptions.? On the signup form, they will simply need to list you
as the referrer and then you send me a private message or e-mail
stating that your friend wishes to get in by using one of your free
referrals.? I'll post more on this, on my Q&A board.
investorshub.com
Once the public, anybody is allowed model is out the door, I see
more higher quality boards moving to the site and being created
by current users, as the atmosphere suddenly becomes one of an
upscale, gentlemen's club.
Invite
I would like to invite everybody who hasn't been to the site in a
long time, to check it out again.? You will notice a tremendous
number of improvements and site enhancements, along with
cleaner pages, no ads, and fast loading pages.? Take a look
around the community and let me know what you think.
Outstanding Boards
Finally, I would like to point out some of the boards on iHub that
have a lot of people talking.
Patsy's Five And Under -
investorshub.com
-- Focused on OTC BB and small cap stocks.? Very friendly and
knowledgeable group.
Archie's Corner -
investorshub.com
-- A great group of stock traders with varying perspectives on the
market.
Bernard's OTC BB Pulse -
investorshub.com --
Focused on OTC BB as well.? He publishes a report on the entire
OTC BB market daily.
Jenna's Market Gems -
investorshub.com
-- Another one of the largest boards on Silicon Investor that made
the move to iHub.? Has been with us for a while.? Has a focus on
technical analysis and general market trends.? Position trades,
etc.
LG's Market Direction Discussion -
investorshub.com
-- One of the largest boards on Silicon Investor that recently
moved over to iHub - has a focus on market indexes and big-cap
stocks.
And the list goes on and on, including folks like Ike Latif,
xxrayeyes, Vendit, SSP & Jim Bishop, Georgia Bard, and more....
I hope to see everyone there and feel that the issues covered in
this e-mail will help create the premier investment discussion site.
Regards,
Matt Brown
