i'm a real poster...
since i know most of the posters here for years before we came over to agoracom i'm really not too concerned about the kry board (i hope it does'nt screw up agoracom too bad, i like it here) also, 24k posts does'nt seem like a lot to me considering the number of companies here and that i have well over 5k posts myself...i have no doubts that pumpers/bashers both exist on most boards....mostly pumpers....
that being said, we retail investors always come back to the same rule.....buyer beware.
dparge, i really dont like you accusing folks of working for agoracom just because they would'nt buy into your "over-exhuberrant" bright side posts....keep in mind, these accusations were of "pumping", not of "bashing"....most of the folks that have said negative things or are having trouble "looking at the bright side" are just discouraged investors who own shares and no longer have blind faith in managements word...that's all i have to say about that.
i wont leave unless the crowd does, i dont like talking to myself....one thing i will say is that in agoracoms defense i follow NUS pretty closely.....i'm all alone there and have never seen any evidence of pumping by anyone other than myself...also, contrary to the "bard ventures" guys accusations....i have seen these boards jack up the price of a stock....usually because a respected poster touts the stock.....truth is, that's the idea behind agoracom...that's what makes the boards exist.....i hope they did'nt pay folks to pump............credibility is a hard thing to build (and keep) on the internet...
