There may be a good reason to rotate out the veteran posters here. The sport of " tilting at crapstock promoters" is enjoyed by the minority of the general population so if they want to gain the biggest audience, filtering out the critics would make sense. SI was the only stock board, and so far still is, where the critics ran off the criminals. There is no profit in catering to the minority so if it is mass appeal they want, some of our opinions probably won't be wanted. That being said, they need to keep us around until they gain enough new members to make up for the ad impressions that would be missed if we all jumped ship before they ever get going, if they ever get going. Sort of a double edged sword for the owners, chase us off and ad revenue dies, keep us around and the "crapstock promoters" won't want to be here..... except for the few idiots like jerseyfish that don't realize we only use him for a good short tip every now and then, if he can manage to post about something with volume.
