OT: Bob, ihub, stock promotion and shares You know it's the truth, Bob. Matt even admitted to it in writing. I even posted about it to you and PM'd you. He took shares from a stock promoter for banners ads AND "advertisements" for the stock in question. You deleted some posts about it but others saved them so everyone knows. Then matt didn't honor the entire deal after he got the shares. Ask matt for the written agreement. That's why you booted the promoter. The promoter did not think the shares were worthless. He was touting them like crazy and the price went up. The promoter also promoted ihub in his newsletters and such. Other promoters did the same. Heck, imfamous francois states he is the one who really started ihub and he did bring most of the initial traffic there. Matt went out and begged all the promoters to go to the site. That's where FG's buddy the funder came from. He said there wouldn't be any bashers at ihub and they could control their own threads. Look at matt's old stock promoter websites that he ran. web.archive.org Look at his old posts here. He sure as heck hyped stocks. Then he wanted to seem like a legitimate site. Heck, he stole the posting interface of SI to try and look like them even. Then he thinks hiring you would make him more legit and get him more traffic. You went over and begged "bashers" like me to give ihub another chance, just to get more traffic by having both sides of the story and to try and help your reputation as tout-ville. I went over then I was booted when all the promoters/hypesters got together. It was not for a TOU violation. 90% of the posts on npct about TOU violations and they're all still there if they're promoters. FG even told Matt that I'm not allowed to post there. Big deal recently you kick some promoters out that helped you guys get to where you are today. That doesn't make you anti-promoters pro-truth. Bob, Matt is admin, you are not. You don't enforce any rules over there. You told us you just do the programming. I haven't seen Tony lie in his reports like stock promoters do. Tony tells the truth because he doesn't want to be sued by the companies or SEC. Promoters lie like crazy about bad investments. I don't care if Tony touts his site which has honest reports about dishonest companies. I do care if someone is touting a stock promoter's website full of lies and securities fraud. Big difference. Someone touting a good service vs. someone touting a bad one. How about we keep this off this board. It's not that relevant and you said most of this on SI vs IHUB thread.
