I received plenty of criticism while here and even agree that some of it was deserved, but I'm very into consistency and that won't change and neither will the site's rules anytime soon. They're different from iHub's in a number of key ways, and will remain that way for at least as long as they're two separate sites. Different rules, different admins, different styles. Well, maybe minor changes. I haven't decided what, if anything, I'll do about it, but I do have a bit of a problem with the fact that 3/4 or more of the content of what is supposed to be a stock market discussion site has nothing to do with anything resembling the market. That camel got into the tent pretty easily. Got its nose in with "The political climate has everything to do with the market", but now the camel's in the tent and so large that there's little room for anything else. Though the quality of the market-related content is VERY good, there's very little of it compared to non-market stuff. We checked from time to time recently and found some days there were fewer than 1000 posts in threads having to do with the market. I'm hoping to see that change either on its own or with some nudges on my part.
