"Based on the trend toward near 100% criticism" Interesting, may have some merit. The problem with including the BB Boards is that you can't see all of the negative indicators because they are frequently deleted. If you were seeing 100% criticism even on the BB Boards, then there were so many negative posts (I speculate) that the censors couldn't hit the delete key fast enough. Perhaps they had just gone home for the day but came to regret that decision. I wonder if your sentiment indicator will also work on the upside. Sell when things turn 100% (pretty much impossible due to exogenous customer service issues) on the SI and Suite100 boards? I think you will have to settle for about 75% positive. Just an aside. I speculate that ego will have the BB boards back sometime in the future. Anyone (except those on the black list) will be able to sign up, read and post. The big difference will be the TOS will be very lengthy, subjective and one-sided. They are still getting sponsorships on that board most likely based on the number of hits. The boards were getting hits. They were negative but they were hits anyway. I would imagine that someone is trying to figure out how to get lots of readers/posters without getting any negative posters.
