What has happened to Silicon Investor?

An SI Board Since June 2000

Emcee: Intrepid1	Type: Unmoderated

Introduction Compact

In its hey day Silicon Investor was the hottest stock message board site on the Internet. Now Raging Bull and the Yahoo Boards are far more active in any given stock. Postings have slowed to a trickle, while many members have left or have simply stopped posting.

What went wrong?

Some have suggested to me that S.I's over zealous policing of its members is part of the problem. Others blame the new format. Perhaps many are tired of all those who constantly run to the webmistress whenever they feel sleighted.

In my opinion, S.I. has the potential to be great again. Any opinions?
