Really dynamic things...yeah like creating a zillion fake accounts and id's and get some more special interest groups to pay their human web bots to flood the threads with links to their agendas. And of course BANNING the whistleblowers. I mean get real. Gulags all around ya and can't see through your own fog.

I was 30 when I joined SI and recall the pump & dump scams that were so frequent. Guys in Fla. putting out research reports on Stocks trading for 2 cents AND PEOPLE BOUGHT THEM! I recall names like Janice Shell & Tim Luke. I used my real name until I received a late night phone call that included the threat of violence if I didn't stop hammering the pump & dumpers LOL There were many great times and SI Bob was awesome. In a way we were pioneers of bytes and bits. 17 years later - it's hard to believe some of the things that have transpired in the markets and our lives
