MulhollandDrive, Just read a little news article on A@P... Apparently, he is now permanently barred from the industry. As he was once one of the most prolific posters here on SI, I guess we'll all need to post an additional 5 messages per day to make up for the expected posting loss... KJC

We'll never see stock posts approach the levels of the bubble again. Even in a future raging bull market, SI members such as analysts, underwriters, scam artists, committed bears, insiders and employees will be reluctant to post the type of information we saw during the SI bubble. Too much liability.

The posting volume in SI's heyday is not a goal I will be trying to reach anytime soon. It roughly coincided with tech stock growth, but wasn't entirely because of it. The 20k per day posting levels were being driven primarily by one thing: The blossoming (in the way dandelions or other weeds "blossom") of a number of penny stock threads. DGIV, MTEI, RMIL, and others. Prolific pumpers and dreamers drove posting volume (and my workload) through the roof in their efforts to shout down "evil bashers". If you can find the relevant threads and posts, you'll see that trading halts and my refusal to remove "proven paid bashers", resulting in the pumpers and dreamers moving to RB, correlate directly with the initial plunge in posting volume. Off the top of my head, I'd guess that anything past the 10k per day level was penny-stock driven. The fall from 10k to 4k was tech implosion.
