All,

advfn-shareholders-action@hotmail.co.uk

Well, what can I say !

Firstly, apologies I have not been able to respond to all emails - just too many - so sorry but massive thanks. I am stunned. I know we shouldn't be as what we are doing is standing up for ourselves against a couple of guys that seem to want to just spend our money and not converse with us when we have issues. That's a problem to me and I guess to many, many others.

I have "cut and paste" a response to emails that I will try to get to all tonight so you know that it is me you are emailing and your email got here.

Second, so many of you when emailing are saying the likes of "I only have 150,000 shares", Great !!, because you know what, when I tally them up we are into the tens of millions, and on our way to hundreds of millions. That is why we are an action group because together we have a voice.

Thirdly, nothing from Clem !! (funny that) - he has my GMail ID - But hey... not a dickybird. I hear he's not a happy bunny though. A few people have emailed to say they have spoken to him and it seems however strong their protests were - it was on deaf ears. They, like me, are just wanting to know where they are spending the money - not too difficult a question. However, the more silence brings the obvious question as to why? - are they hiding something?

Lastly, for tonight, on a positive note. Although millions more were sold out today - not surprising, we must look at this logically. The SP, is where it is now, for a few reasons. They have built up a solid user base and a brand. The mistakes they have made (launching in countries they cannot support and do not understand - I don't include the JV models in this), can be closed. They have sites that are not core and divert resourses - they can be sold. They (and this is the big one) seem to be spending money (on what themselves?) like J-Lo, when we are a smallish internet site that should be run as such.

I would end this now (honestly). If they came out with a statement to shareholders, along the lines of "We spent 5M last year on X,Y and Z but this year tight financial controls are in place to attempt to keep costs to within X

That would do it for me.

The SP would probably rocket as with the turnover what it is, this (internet "fixed costs") business could be realising 2M - 3M in profit.

Thanks once again (massive thanks - it feels great to know you are not on your own)

PS - Mr. O'Reilly, sir you have my email address and I will of course, completely and utterly respect your privacy.

Oh by the way - silly of me I forgot.

If Clem does not make any response by the weekend, the first of the action groups direct action will commence next week.

Easy really. The national press. Apparently they will love this story after Coffee Republic revolt on here.

The next one .... the site itself.

I am told by those in the industry that the business sections will be beside themselves to cover this.

Night night

Good morning

Well more emails overnight. Some specific points answered

I will never use anyone's information here, including usernames

I have no intention of selling my shares (see point 4 above, this could be the time to pick up more if we change the way this company spends our money).

Of course the institutions will be approached, that I see a phase two of this, although some contact has been made already.

To one emailer from distant shores. Re : PS - He already has made contact with me and yes I now know the holding they have.

Yes she will be the first of the meetings with the national press should that proceed. She is now of a higher profile and I do realise the relationship.

No contact whatsoever from the company

I cannot keep this post at the top as I am earning a living. When we start a new thread - we all can do that.

LOL

ADVFN action group. The press more likely will laugh at the action group. People with too much time on their hands and delusions. maestro is at the head of the queue.

Good thing I copied the posts here, since they have been removed from ADVFN. Can't imagine why!

LOL. Rogersg has apparently been banned and the AFN thread (20,000+ posts) 'cursed' so that it gradually sinks to the bottom.

How to upset your shareholders, lesson 36.... A defining moment in the history of AFN.

its disgusting that they have banned a loyal shareholder like Roger...i'm afraid i sold out after last results,if i ever get back on that site then i'll totally wreck the message board..Clem will pay for his fascist attitude

Why do you say "if i ever get back on that site", have they found a way to stop you reregistering?

i can use the monitor and other services but can't get on the message board...been like that for about 4 months

Well it's either your cookies, or your IP address, or the Java downloads...

Is Clem a Zionist then?

kayak..probably IP address..how do you change it?
choc...probably

If you have ADSL it can be of the type that uses a fixed IP address or a dynamic one (changes every time). Check with your ISP. If it is fixed then you would need to get the ISP to change it. A simple test is to use a dial-up connection (should use a different IP address) and see whether you are still blocked.

How do you stop posters on ADFVN competitor BBs from posting? ;-))))))))))))

Shame your all missing so much fun. All the justers look like their going to jail !

PS Merry Xmas Kayak

R

Long time no see, rally, Merry Xmas to you too. Really? Must look up the thread.

i notice Chambers can't be bothered to break down the revenue figures for each of the sites...time he gave investors a proper set of results instead of a set of creative bull-shit

meastro
What's been going on have I missed something?

O yes and hi there rally - are they indeed.

meastro,

Go to programs,
then accessories,
Click on the "command prompt" icon
when the black screen appears, type "IPCONFIG" and note the IP address shown.

After disconnecting from the internet, and reconnecting, repeat the process and see if the IP address is the same.

If it is, you have a fixed IP, if it's different, it's a floating IP.

andy..cheers but bugger advfn

Reckon i've sussed what Chambers has been up to...he's wasted investors money on opening sites in other countries which have no chance,a pokersite that is a complete waste of money...all in order to drain funds and get shareprice down abit like qxl did with their crap sites...then out of the blue they'll try a management buy out just like qxl...my advice is buy some now or if it falls lower and vote no to any takeover attempt
