Lolol! We're not looking for traffic on that board!
Occasionally, we have something that we want to share - like the google.com link I posted over there today. When we post it here, then it often leads to an off topic discussion that snowballs. Then, just like on stock boards, when someone wants to see what's going on with the site they have to wade through a lot of ot posts. Dave, Matt and John have their own boards. Linda, Dan and I agreed we could share one.
Re: deletions - I'd have to guess that 97.9% of them are some variation of "why are you posting here since you don't hold shares? just to bash?" or "go on with your pumping, see how many other bagholders you can create". Another 1% are general off topic posts - often a youtube video. Another 1% are just vile attacks. The last .1% are occasionally somewhat interesting. Honestly, I get half of my updates on the latest world news going through the TOS Report. ha!
