With the likes of Bunnyboiler101 and Maxk posting the infamous LOL in HTML format.COme on MAM get a system together where the likes of these pricks are banned !

Maybe then you will atract more cliental !

My god, I've been telling all I know that MoneyAM is a great site for weeks, they come and look then tell me the boards are full of juveniles slagging each other off as in the many 'chatrooms' on the net, well done guys.

Slow,

I haven't seen your id before, so welcome!

It has been like that, but certain users have now been banned, and I think you will find that share discussion has returned!

We could do with a few new share related threads, so if you have any ideas, please feel free to start them!

I will start a couple of new ones, and with a bit of luck we can go from strength to strength.

Well, it's no bad thing that some of the disruptive elements have been banned - but "share discussion has returned"? There wasn't much of that before the advent of ainsoph & his tormentors, and I remain to be convinced that there's a critical mass here.

It would be helpful to expunge the memory of "the fallen one", by starting new threads for no other reason than to test the truth of what the above poster says.A bb should not count its quality by the volume of posts, surely, but by the correct calls on shares, and the exchange of information and if so req`d advice.
Posting volumes of cut &paste and minute by minute accounts of a share are for----- , well you know what.

maybe a fair comment for those not glued to their screens all day but for someone like me this information can mean the difference between a profit or a loss.

in all honesty there are VERY FEW investors these days. its a gamble. pick a share it goes up 5% in a day you get out and move on. that is the reality. there is a pool of money that just does the rounds. occasionally like today a huge wad of new money drops in and makes most of us happy. but its a vicious dog eat dog cycle.

happy INVESTING

YEP!!!!!!!!

zzaxx99,

you're absolutely right, but I still think that share discussion has increased since some of the combatants were expelled.

This BB certainly has not reached critical mass, but it's still early days, and the number of posts are increasing, whereas I do see a reduction on ADVFN, despite them still being the most vibrant BB, for now at least.

I see that some of those thrown out of here are back over there already, so it just keeps going round in circles.

It is difficult to see how any finacial BB is going to achieve critical mass in the current economic climate, let's hope that somehow a bull run could develop to entice both investors and interest back into the market.

Andy.

minxie..only just read your reply; you know me, in a daze 95% of the time, stumbled on this site as saw a ref to advfn. Now totally flaccid, no longer worked up, Ainsoph's three piece suite ? what gives?
Just wish MAM came through as quick as advfn, I sit and juggle waiting to log in, user name, chat room, it all takes ages whereas with advfn it's 200% quicker.
I tried creating a thread on prm about two months ago, gave it up as a bad job as it just didn't work, again no probs with advfn; I now see someone has got one going on MAM...lw

In one way it was a shame about Ainsoph because he genuinly tried to help people, however unfortunatly he had this knack of never backing off to avoid undue trouble and in addition he honestly believed that people who short stock were intrinsicly wrong. Thats not true as we all know, as in any market you must have both buyers and sells to balence the books. Unfortunatly his attittude wound a lot of people up and thats not good for anything

I spoke to Mike (Bullshare) about this,(Ainsoph) this afternoon and even putting aside the fact this is Mikes business (and he can run it how he chooses) I would support his decision on a personal level. Regardless of your status of either Trader or Investor we all gather here to use this sites tools and exchange information to our mutual advantage. We are not here to slag one another off, engage in duels, or attempt to misguide people by endless postings on single issues. Thats the main curse of "the other sites bb", Bullshare and his team want to create something better here

Paul,

I absolutely agree, and think Mike has made the correct decision here.

It is a shame Ainsoph had to go too, after all he did make share related posts, and provided vibrancy on the BB.

I did ask him to ignore the attacks, but i understand that he felt he needed to defend himself, although IMHO he should have made use of the conveniently located "squelch" button!

Andy.

Paulismyname,

ainsey claimed to short stock when it suited him, he just didn't like the "plebs" having shorting facilities as he put it once. Gives you an insight into why he tended to get right up peoples backs.

He was also a compulsive liar with the unfortunate problem of having a terribly short memory. Good riddance.

F

F

Cant say i know of him shorting a stock.
He prob has the ability, as do most of us, but not the inclination.

I for one believe he had far more constuctive comments than the rest of
his anti-campaigners put together.

I think MAM made a mistake.

Have to agree with you, baby out with the bathwater and all that!!!!

Yuff

Moneylender,

Subject GHT. One hand clapping.


ainsoph - 16 May'03 - 11:16 - 1 of 4


closed my short for a nice intraday gain ..... no time to keep watching this one

I seem to recall he indicated, with great delight, that he had shorted one of gravy's shares....can't remember which one though.

I clashed with ainsoph a number of times on Tad, though didn't resort to the heinous and derogatory remarks he came out with. The clashes were based on posts I had made that dared to question his well known Tad bullishness or discuss aliases and the odd other topic. I was accused of being oldolie/gravy on advfn, called a 'tosser', called 'bits and pieces', just to name but a few instances. These remarks were totally unjustified because my posts have never been insulting (maybe the odd joke but we are all guilty of that) and were made to promote discussion and to air my views so that I can learn this game.

The ironic thing is, I have always beleived the Tad story (maybe this will haunt me, I don't know) and want Tad to succeed. I am long, have no choice on that, because my average is around 11p. Like many, though, I have been critical of 'win-win' nonsense, sale of hardware, Gem, but I am allowed to do that because I hold. That doesn't mean I want Tad to fail. However, we are still not out of the woods and still await news, end of Gem, news of Cartesia, news of Eti future, all instrumental in determing the future of Tad. I am slightly sceptical but as I said, I have a right to be, a own a fraction of this gamble and want to make money on it. Just like us all.

Ainsoph posted the odd useful snippet, some useful Level 2 detail and news/items that I for one haven't the time to hunt out, but in the main he was an aggressive and compulsive liar. Everyone knows that really. He was hounded, yes, but his condescending comments, unjustified boasts (cars, adultery, lunches at the Ritz etc etc), unethical comments, patronizing drivel and never never never never lost a penny nonsense was only ever going to attract attention by those annoyed by his comments. Simple really.

It is my opinion this board can only benefit from his removal. Others disagree, that is totally fair enough in my book.

Anyway, good day to all.

Beau

Well summed up.

Just popped in to look. I see you are infamous on iii Beau. Apparently your post was too offensive to go through their filter.

It does seem OTT and cowardly as the target cannot reply or even see your message.

Ian T/ moderator4

I assume post 79 is judged to be fine in relation to all your personal vendetta posts that were subsequently banned this week.
Fairly obvious who sequestor is and that he has a problem with a certain poster, I thought that was why you had a mass cull, posts like the one above are likely to raise the temerature of posters.

Yuff

yuff

How long must you bang the same drum to the same old tired tune?

Look outside: Lovely.
Look at the market: Showing signs of recovery.

Why not have a cup of camomile tea and take the weight off.

ainsoph has gone so we are all saved imo. DYOR.

Regards.

PS: I see she chose the name 'incognito' this morning. What's the betting that it was created after my second post of the morning on the TAD board ;-) .

PPS: Come in moderator 8. Your time is up. Beep.

yuff, you really are funny, keep up the posts.
