I don't know that I agree with the negative assessments of ihub . If you look at the links I posted, these are the categories that are non stock related threads. Take a tour of the links, and see what threads were started, by who, and scroll down the threads and try and get a quick idea of their content.

IMO, recently there were a lot of threads that were started that really added nothing to the site. They COULD have started threads that were meaningful threads, and they COULD have made posts that were meaningful posts on those threads, which would have been an asset to the site, and made other people want to join and particpate at ihub. I dont think they did this. I don't think they helped ihub at all. But that's MY opinion. WDIK?

I saw ihub as a place where people could come who wanted to get away from the nonsense, disruption, fighting, harassment, and all the negative things that have plagued the other boards, and basically made them unpleasent to participate in.

I percieved the thread head concept as a means to achieve this goal by taking control, taking action and putting some limits in place, for the benefit of all.
After a while this would have or should have elevated the contents to become what people SHOULD be using the boards for, and that is honest discussion about stocks rather than all that other nonsense.

Would there be some abuses by some thread heads? Probably, but the thing is, no one as far as I know was stopped from from starting their own threads and people could have started threads and made them what the ideal should be, by using the concept properly. Did any of the detractors of the original ihub concept do this? I don't think so, but I could be wrong as I didn't check every thread that was started. So anyone that didn't start a thread that was run right or contributed to the overall benefit of ihub and it's memebrs that's not ihub's fault, that's yours.
