Bob, how am I supposed to know your income? You're not a public company. If you aren't doing ihub for money, why are you doing it? If you're doing it for money, what is your revenue? Ads, traffic, paid promoters giving your partner promotion shares for ads/profiles...? How do you expect to make money or at least break even off ihub? Sure, you're not making millions now off the revenue but you expect to make something so you need people at your site. It's not my problem that ihub isn't making any money and you are having to fund it through other means at the moment. Also, why do you allow paid touts on your boards when you state you are against stock scams? Look at their touts. You know a thing or two about stocks. You can see a scam. Why do you let the touts post their misleading bits to defraud investors? I would never own a stock message board for that reason alone. I won't aide and abet criminals. Yes, I see touts on other boards and I don't have much respect for the people that allow paid professionals to post on public boards and defraud people. I don't think they should be allowed. I dislike the lying promoters wherever they post. An ethical company would use company IR and press releases to inform investors about news items and such, they would not stoop to the level of public message boards. Ihub may have fewer of the extreme touts but that's because they have fewer posts and posters. You and matt also generally boot the people who make extreme "NPCT to $200 after hours!" or post "Company DD" 12 times a day, unless of course it's hollen or his buds posting it. RB, Yahoo take longer to get rid of those posters, especially over the weekends. I think having people pay for sign up is a good idea which keeps the extremists in check. You talking about bop?
