The Yaooiaztion Of Silicon Investor

An SI Board Since August 1999

Posts	SubjectMarks	Bans
23	1	0

Emcee: D. K. G.	Type: Unmoderated

Introduction Compact

The new Silicon Investor FORMAT has the look and feel of the Yahoo! Fiance boards. Now with SI's free registration
techstocks.com
We will see an increasing number of posts and topics that mimic the CONTENT of Yahoo!. Yes, increasing amounts of spam and hype proliferated by legions anyomonous posters, whom have no accountablity. This course of action will dilute and destroy the community once known as SI. Even if users are allowed to continue to use the old SI classsic format the Pandora's Box of free access leaves future content forever condemned to enternal Yahoo!

This thread will chronicle the devolution.
Offer up your best examples of the Yahooiaztion of SI.
