Hi Greg

Before you read on, read and understand the following two TOS links. They set IHUB far above any message forum that exists today and is a major reason that SI Admin (Bob) is now IH Admin (Bob).

http://www.investorshub.com/beta/faq.asp

http://www.investorshub.com/beta/Terms.asp

Every person from SI who has come here with few exceptions has brought with them the SI rules mentality, which is why some of them are confused about IHUB and how it works as compared to SI.

You have to experience being the creator or host so to speak of a thread with a decent post volume before you can truly appreciate what Matt has done and what a wonderful improvement that this forum is over SI.

My thread on SI had at least ½ female participants. They ranged from housewives to professional traders, college professors and so on. With only a few exceptions that I can think of nearly all of these people “are” Class act "LADIES" and they conducted themselves as you would expect a lady to. The guys who posted there always conducted themselves as gentlemen. Same thing is true on this thread and I will make sure that it stays that way.

Because that thread had a fairly large following it would draw the occasional four letter “F”*** word and “S”*** word from a poster who made a post without thinking about how it sounded.

My ambition was to keep the thread open and honest as well as CLEAN minded. It took an act of congress to get an off colored post or spam removed because Bob was so busy. He would always do it but not as fast as can be done here on IHUB. If Bob were on vacation then forget it, I would have to wait for him to return or ask Bryan B to get someone to act.

Now if you read the Porch thread here you will find many posts deleted. Each post contained violations of the threads TOU and/or IHUB TOU. It was ALL personal attack stuff. Just in case you may wonder, I can go in and retrieve any deleted post on that thread and repost it or restore the original post.

To take it a step further all posts that get deleted on any IHUB thread go straight to IH Admin (Bob)’s trash bin for his review as well as Matt Browns trash bin prior to Bob coming. Matt probably still gets them as a back up would be my guess. Bob will and has restored deleted posts on IHUB threads that were found not in violation of TOU.

Not one post did he restore on dealers thread to my knowledge. As I said, if need be I will restore enough of the posts there so that you can see the SI-Yahoolagans in action and then you will agree with me that they should have been trashed.

Next start at post #1 on the parking lot thread and read the entire thing. Make a note of any combative posts placed there by me. I don’t think you will find anything besides my humorous replies to childish posts directed to me by people who have failed to read the TOU of IHUB and don’t understand IHUB’s concept.

They all are nice people I’m sure. All I ask of anyone who posts on a thread that I have anything to do with here is that they treat others with honor and respect just like they would if they were standing face to face.

Finally take note that I have not mentioned anyone by name in this post. Anyone who reads this and feels defensive can figure that I might have him or her in mind while typing this reply to you Greg. If they feel like responding to it I highly recommend that they go back and read the two links above to IHUB TOU before making their reply.

Lastly this thread is not the parking lot and I don’t want any replies to it posted on this thread. You can copy and paste it on the parking lot thread and discuss it there if you wish.

All that said……Everyone is welcome to post on the AskV thread, just be nice.

:8-)
