Lots of new Sega email this past month. Not sure why because the game is quite old now and has not been changed or updated. As yet the current generation chip has not been cracked despite countless hours and tens of thousands of dollars. No flaws, no loors, no eggs, it appears that many have given up research on this one now for better projects.
Robert
If you wish to post a letter to them, do it directly. This is not their board.
This is your last warning to stop posting that sort of shit repeatedly here. I have been patient as I do think there is value in your participation in the debate, however I have grown tired of all the immature bullshit that comes with it.
If you have a point to make, try to not to come off as such a fool and make it.
Robert
Yah, your right. Matt and Bob give me a dime for every wonderful post you make,lol.
As it is, I have a large surplus of money and time so babysitting you kids is the next best thing to having a real job.
Robert
ps. i moderate about 10 boards here, none of which I have a financial interest in, go figure??
I suggest that those of you who have developed into constant whiners take a minute and read the TOU agreement. If there are posts which are in violation and which offend you, you are welcome to report them.
Otherwise, your bitching is the worst of the posts cluttering this board. Feel free to clean it up, shut up, or leave. The choice is yours.
Robert
Shrotker,
while I agree that there is a small number of continuous abusers present on this board, I would encourage and advise you to reconsider the concept of a new board that completely restricts and controls access and therefore opinions. The truth is not always popular, and a board which is free from all unpopular opinions runs the risk of becoming blinded to truths.
Disagreement creates dialogue, and dialogue is the origin of most inquiry and due diligence.
Robert
TY, lots of junk the past few days but still a bit of decent discussion and disagreement buried in there someplace.
Robert
Yes Kas, you are wrong.
Please don't mistake my absence from posting as an absence from policing. I am one of those who refrains from posting just for the sake of being heard, however I monitor this and other boards (here and elsewhere) on a constant basis.
If you feel that a post is in violation of the TOU, feel free to report it. I have attempted to let the free discussion take place and granted both sides of the debate reasonable liberty to express themselves, and I am certainly not claiming to catch every violation.
Thanks again,
Robert
ps. As a general rule I try to refrain from posting on message boards of stocks which I moderate or currently have in play. I find that participating in the dialogue prevents me from remaining objective in my decisions and sometimes results in me making emotional instead of rational financial decisions. While this is not always the case, hindsight always acts as a reminder to me. Silence is golden.
no more pattern trading Kas?
I think a quick look at your posting history disqualifies you from being an objective moderator. Thanks for the offer though.
Robert
I assume since your post was to me, it was intended to be to me and not to Roger.
Yes there are many ways to control these boards. As the moderator of this board, I enforce the TOU agreement by removing any posts which I find in violation of it. In addition, posts who have multiple IDs or commit frequent violations of the TOU can be suspended or deleted. I attempt to be flexible and not to start deleting stuff just because it gets a little off topic.
As a member, you can filter the posts you see. If you check your buttons you will notice that you may block posts from certain posters from your view by adding them to an ignore list.
Ihub provides boards for the public discussion of stocks and other topics, however do not forget that the site is privately owned and operated. Posting here is a priveledge not a right.
I will do my best to 'remind' those who cause problems of this, but feel free to message me any specific concerns.
Thanks,
Robert
With the increased postings of the village idiots from RB, I am considering making posting to this board subject to my approval of each individual poster.
What is the general concensus of the board members? Would you like to see this board become a premium board or changed to offer limited posting ability to new posters?
With input from the legitimate posters here I will make that decision. I have had enough of the childish BS that many have brought with them.
Robert
Hi there kids,
after receiving several complaints regarding the trend this board has taken towards becoming a place for raging jackasses to come and post their crap, you will be pleased to know that this will no longer be the case.
Posters who continue to make posts that I find off topic or disruptive will find themselves removed. If you do not like it, LEAVE.
You are entitled to free speech and to your own opinion regarding any of the issues discussed here, but rest assured that anyone who opens their mouth and proves themselves to be and idiot will find themselves silenced.
Once again I direct you to the TOU agreement which I will enforce at my discretion.
Robert
Point noted. If anyone wishes to send me any other updated info or changes since the board was started, please do. I spend more time monitoring posters lately then actually following the stocks themselves,lol. I'll update the ibox sunday night with whatever info you posters supply me with.
Robert
Warning to you MM,
shape up or ship out. I have had enough of you. Get it?
Robert
otc,
my role as the moderator here is not to control the conversation or opinions of the members, but rather to enforce the terms of use agreement. Primarily this involves deleting those who post solely to disrupt the board, multi-alias posters, repeat postings, spam, off-topic postings, vulgarity, invasion of privacy, personal attacks, etc.
There are many posters on this and other boards that i do not agree with and even some i dont get along with, however as long as they are able to stay on topic and post in a civil manner I respect their right to free speech.
That being said, I will not tolerate repeated signups by the same deleted poster. If anyone is unable to communicate their opinions in a rational manner in accordance with the TOU they are not welcome here regardless of that opinion and my personal feelings.
Robert
for everyone's information
I removed several posts in the last 2 days for a variety of violations, including but not limited to personal attacks, repeat posts, multi-alias posting, and those just trying to disrupt the board.
Please note that when and individual post is removed, it is a minor offence. If you continue to be a problem you will find that this can increase to the point that you may find yourself and your entire posting history removed. For those of you who have an opinion you would like to convey, you are not doing yourself any favours by acting like total idiots.
This board is for the discussion of the stock and related issues. Feel free to discuss it, argue about it, debate it, and disagree, but keep it civil and on topic or you will find that your voice is muted.
Happy New Year
Robert
ps. with otc's permission I will add his link to the i-box at the top of the board.
Help Wanted:
if you are interested in helping to moderate this board, please email me. Your status as a shareholder is not relevant but a certain level of maturity and common sense is required. It seems this particular board is getting busier and may require more frequent attention then I give it.
Robert
ps. preference will be given to paid members and those who do not have a file full of removed posts.
Pual, I agree.
I will clean it up. This is not RB.
Robert
Welcome to ihub tackler, this board is quiet as the stock is very thinly traded. Somewhere around 200 non-insider shareholders and most of the trading volume generated by insiders chruning the pot.
I've got a bit of a personal history with the company myself and am not currently a shareholder, however i have traded it on 2 occassions and done well both times.
From my recent communications with those involved and those who follow it it would seem that they are attempting to hide all their past failures through a change in cusip and direction. The only consistent thing appears to be Kim's desire to get a track of his own off the ground in Vancouver.
Best of luck to you and make sure you trade the trends.
Robert
Yes indeed there is an ignore poster button on investorshub. Feel free to use it at your discretion.
Robert
matin owns TG. He took his money and now he takes his time. The only one who does not find it humorous is TG because he is not swift enough to recognize it.
Regardless of where this stock goes, its nice to know that Matin will always have one devoted fan in TG.
I spent a good chunk of my play money today on a 15 suite appartment building. OUCH. I think it a safe haven for the next few years, especially for some money i hate to part with. Oct/Nov always makes me nervous of the market.
Robert
I agree.
This is a pink sheet crapper. All it seems good for is to trade in and out and make a few bucks. Some will win, some will lose. Tradional scam, reverse scam, it really doesn't matter. For those that believe, it is like buying a lottery ticket except that the proceeds are not going to charity, lol.
That being said, it is still nice for those with an interest to be able to have a place to discuss the situation without idiots, whose sole purpose is to disrupt those discussions, interferring.
As for myself, I'm out of the market completely until the wind changes direction. If ya know what i mean.
Robert
That sort of info is definitely recorded and retained as are all deleted posts still retained but removed from public view.
Other stock chat sites I have been involved in, such as silicon investor and ragingbull have been required in the past to turn over evidence to official enquiries and this site would be no different.
For most posters the internet and sites such as this are not nearly as anonymous as they believe. While there are methods to surf anonymously, most are not educated enough or careful enough to avoid leaving footprints.
Interestingly, those footprints and activities have more frequently been left by pumpers than by bashers in most cases i am aware of. This board may be the exception,lol.
Robert
The list of deleted posts and deleted multiple alias posters grows longer each week from this board. Some people have nothing better to do with their free time.
your welcome. It doesn't make this any better an investment but at least it makes it nicer for those who wish to discuss the issue in a civil manner.
Neither those who are pro or con need to tolerate the BS of those whose only intention is to be disruptive.
Robert
3 multi alias posters removed from this board now. What a fool.
radio,
every post that has been removed has been in violation of the service agreement. Most commonly for posting vulgarity or off color remarks or namecalling.
This behavior has not been limited to either side of of the differing opinions here, both have been guilty and both have had posts removed.
You will also note that one individual has opened multiple accounts under multiple names recently. Those accounts and 100% of their posts will be deleted regardless of their content. Anyone with half a brain would know that there are at least 4 ways to track multiple accounts, including the most basic of tracking IP's.
Your also correct in noting that i do not have faith in this stock being anything but a scam. That doesn't mean that there wont be trading opportunites for those with strong stomachs, but I'm glad to have taken my loss when i did.
Feel free to continue to post, just try to control yourself.
Robert
Some people are sure desperate to have their opinion publicized. It's quite pathetic really. Too bad they can't be civil so they end up getting deleted and their IP's logged. Perhaps a little more scrutiny on all new accounts will help.
Robert
Talked to some contacts out west this week. Rumor is that Kim Hart has started selling his shares of SGGNF and is moving on to another project. The share price should start to reflect this soon.
Robert
Thankyou to all those who submitted 'TOS' violations on the recent a-holes who signed up. Those who post crap or use multiple aliases will be terminated. If your personal information on your sign up is not complete and valid, you are not welcome to post. IP's are logged and you potentially may be held accountable for whatever you write.
Your certainly welcome to disagree and argue amongst yourselves, afterall its only money.
Robert
jack smart guy,
you ask me to tell 'my investers' to go elsewhere, which in itself is a strange request.
I couldn't care less if you or anyone else makes or loses money on this or any other stock. Not even if you ever made or lost money in the past on this or any other stock. I tend to focus my attention upon my own portfolio.
I'm not sure why you are such an avid follower of this stock or of Matin and I couldn't care less, you are free to spend as much of your valuable time following it as you wish. The only thing that is so amusing to me is that you don't even realize that this stock and Matin control you.
For whatever reason it makes you stop in here and read other peoples posts, he makes you follow the stock, he makes you watch for developments, he owns you and your free time. You think that the shareholders here are the ones who are being ripped off, but it is you who have invested far more resources into following this crap penny pink stock than anyone else.
Is VLVT a scam? Who cares. Apparantly only you and the dozen or so shareholders who follow this board, but if and when it all comes to an end you will have lost far more than anyone else. Think about it next time you realize that you just can't stay away from VLVT (cause Matin won't let you.)
Robert
Since we have had several new people join up mysteriously the last 3 days, I would like to point you all to the user agreement. I suggest you all read it or else you may find your tenure as a poster here is brief.
KEEP YOUR DISCUSSION ON TOPIC AND CIVIL OR YOU AND YOUR POSTS WILL BE REMOVED.
Robert
mikem,
please keep your racist comments to yourself. You will quickly find that your leash here is shorter than the one you get at home.
If you don't have anything either intelligent or entertaining to contribute - get lost. Your wasting my time and bandwidth.
thebabysitter
ah hope and truth, two very fine virtues. You two related? LOL

First Coastal Bancshares Reports Re-purchase of Stock
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 29, 2003--
First Coastal Bancshares (OTCBB:FCST), parent company of wholly owned First Coastal Bank, N.A., bought back four (4) shares of common stock from a shareholder today, at a price of $86.00 a share. While First Coastal currently does not have a re-purchase program in place, this transaction was done as an accommodation for the shareholder.
THE FUNNY THING IS, IT IS STILL 4 SHARES MORE THAN SUNGOLD BOUGHT BACK SINCE ANNOUNCING THEIR SHAR BUYBACK OVER 2 YEARS AGO.
I'll keep an eye on it pato. I'm just finishing some DD on SIMU, looks like a safe place to park some extra $$$ for a small return before years end.
Sadly Mm, all opinions will be biased by the position of whomever is offering you advice. Depending upon how significant the $8000 investment is to you, your decision may come easier.
This particular stock and CEO has failed to live up to everyone's expectations. In the end it may well be proven to have been a scam.(if it has not already done so)
Realistically, all you have sitting there now is a couple hundred dollars. You might as well consider it lost and ignore it for a few months. Downside is less than 1K, upside is maybe a little bit more of your original principal recovered. There are lots of nice otc and listed pennies out there right now, many easier to anticipate and predict than this one. Best of luck.
Robert
The mailbox is a great feature. Every time a poster responds to a comment of yours you get a notice. Makes it easy to keep up with conversations of several boards at the same time.
You can also add a poster to favorites or block them. Very good features if used properly.
Have a good trip.
Robert
dividend deadline due in a couple of days, stock price declining. Not a positive indicator for future share price.
Robert
David,
when replying to a post could you please reply to the poster you are addressing. That way your response shows up in their mailbox, not mine.
Thankyou
Robert
