I haven't started a thread there for about 15 years, but I think the thread creator can block posters.

i think so too, but that might be rather time consuming

how would you class stan and fred?

i've said it before but i'll say it again

much of advfn is free including access to their charts
they're not quite as user-friendly as those here which is a shame, and indeed i'll have to learn how to post them

a lot of the BB's there are just stupid and/or abusive, so as you all know, i stick to just the one (FAR9)
the sponsor has been asked if he could set up another for general chit-chat, but have been far too busy to follow that up"

Thanks Alf, I have also been using ADVFN for about 15 years and know what your saying about some idiot posters over there but nevertheless less the vast majority are very good nowadays I find. I'll have a look at your FAR9 thread.

If people just want to have a chat with other MAM posters, I can easily set up a thread on advfn?"

That's sounds a good idea thanks Skinny yes please, anyone else?

I think some are missing the point here.

Shares is in the business of making money from £10's from every trade, a fee on funds and a turn on interest on cash held.

They are not in the business of investment advice, bulletin boards. The only reason to have a bulletin board is if the traffic it produces (client reach) outweighs the cost of keeping it going and more importantly monitoring it. There's a legal obligation to monitor the content (see pressure now falling on Facebook etc.) and I see this alone as enough to put Shares off from running a BB.

HL and the rest of the retail brokers don't provide a BB, so it seems reasonable there's no business case to support it. I suggest the only reason we have MAM now is thanks to Mike and his role at Shares (which I suggest in the early days worked for Shares as it gave them a user base to advertise their platform to). I don't know this but I suspect Mike has used his influence to keep MAM going and now he's left business priorities change. The advertising revenue isn't enough to support it, which might have something to do with MIFID II and all that advertising which tells us only 20% of retail punters make a profit. IG share price had fallen off a cliff last time I looked.

Sadly I'll be off to ADVFN. I wish there was a better alternative but there isn't. Everyone is just going to have to get used to paying more for stuff because if the advertising revenue from isn't there any longer due to MIFID II, what else are suppliers supposed to do?

Oi watch it sunshine...and by the way it's Stan and Fred if you don't mind 🧐😀

The issue with ADVFN is that although the owner can moderate the thread, this takes the moderator time and effort and even if they do moderate or ban users, people can just create another profile in less than a minute.

I suspect the guilds feature using ADVFN's PlusOne Crypto gets round this but I'm not 100% sure.

I don't think the trolls would bother us much anyway. They are more concerned with pumping and dumping shares.

I own one thread on ADVFN. I've never had any trolls or had to learn how to moderate it. Mind you the share price only ever goes up (NMCN) so that might be helping.

the only capital the pair of you warrant is capital punishment :-)

Point taken CC but having tried to persuade Any Bell to even consider naming a price for MAM I find it a bit strange as an arrangement could have been negotiated to our mutual benefits. They seem intent on wiping the whole site for their own reasons and are reluctant to explain why, and yes I know its their business but surely looking at it from a money making/publicity point of view it would make sense to keep it going.

After all I thought that is why we are all here in the first place...to make some money.

Watch your lip Lester... I think I know where you live 😀

Alf, if I stick FAR9 in the search all I get is this thread

https://uk.advfn.com/cmn/fbb/thread.php3?id=21487603&from=28267

Is that the one?

yes it is ...... it's rarely very busy, especially at the moment, but at least the comments you get are generally sensible

OK thanks.

i've also emailed MAM to reconsider completely abandoning the existing platform
Nothing to lose..

Good luck.

You should be negotiating in Brussels.

They need an optimist.

I know what you mean Fred but the more the better and you never know, well done sponge.

If I remember right isn't it only premium subscribers to ADVFN that can moderate threads they start ?

Can't remember my password for Dil so I was thinking of PL Dil , what you reckon Stan ?

I was wondering if it was worth us folk down here in Cornwall crossing over to ADVFN, I know we aren't welcome in Europe (according to CNF), but we may like ADVFN

Pill.

Dil - some of us are Premium :-)
