... short answer YES almost certainly
Since Amit was named CEO of Investors Hub in November 2022, he must have been behind the gutting of the TOU's late June of 2023 in an effort to turn around iHub when I decided to curtail my presence here. Now we know who the man behind the curtain was. That clearly didn't work very well. Is this his second tilt at that windmill? And another new format? CRIKEY! Things must not be so good in iHub-land.

The main reason VHS beat Betamax in the video format war was because VHS WAS a better product. A Betamax tape could record 1 hour of content. VHS at the slowest speed could record 4 hours of content. A movie or sporting event could fit on a single cassette. THAT's why VHS won the war. VHS was also priced lower and the consumer was more price sensitive than Sony thought.

NVDA absolutely DID split. You will see it Monday at market open.
It is a 10-for-one forward split. Anyone who owns NVDA by market close Thursday, June 6 will be eligible for the split. Whatever the closing price is on Friday, June 7, the stock will sell for 1/10 of that price at the Monday open. Those who held stock before the record date market close would receive ten times the number of shares held at the market open on Monday.
Forward splits make the share price more affordable on a per share basis which opens the market to more investors who would balk at a share price over $1,000, If you held 100 shares by Thursday market close and the shares close at $1,000 by Friday close, you will hold 1000 shares worth $100 at Monday market open.
NVIDIA is having a Forward split, not a Reverse split. Quite a difference between the two.
Seems the MulletPalooza didn't go so well. Oh well, I'll check back next year.
Each year I try to post this at this time of year remembering Tom (b4atf) who started this board. He was a real good guy and will remain etched in my memory. I no longer post on iHub but this is my last recognition for Tom. Rest in peace, my friend.
I am thinking of my friend Tom (b4atf) today who left us January 7, 2014. He started this board/ In his honor, I want to post his Christmas story, "The Christmas Kitty", about a kitten and his departed wife, Denise, who he missed terribly. Tom, I hope you enjoy hearing this story again and sharing it with Denise. I miss you, buddy.
*****************************************************************
Many of you may have seen this before. I send it around for Christmas but was not on this board last year. Blessings to all.

Here is a nice story I wrote for my poor Denise when she was in hospice. Its about how she got her cat.
Since I have a public forum I figured someone might enjoy it.

The Christmas Kitty
MacGuyver lived under the dumpster. It was close to Christmas time and cold. He hadn't always lived under a dumpster. Before that he lived with his momma and all his brothers and sisters. His whole family lived in an old wood box in the woods behind an apartment building in Minnesota.
Oh, did they have fun! MacGuyver loved to roll and wrestle with his brothers and sneak up and pounce on his sisters. He was the last and smallest of momma's family and always tried ever so hard to win. He was a real rascal and always full of mischief.
When they were all good and tired they snuggled up to momma and had milk while they listened to her wonderful stories. Momma had been an indoor cat once and would tell them the most amazing things. Momma would tell about being warm all the time. She would tell about playing with string and toys and paper balls. Momma said there was always food, and even special sand for the bathroom.
MacGuyver didn't understand much of what his Momma said. He was only a few weeks old and had never even been out of their family box. He liked the stories though because Momma sounded so happy. She would stretch and purr and lick them all. Sometimes she would promise that if they were good they would all live together in a house someday.
One day MacGuyver made an awful mistake. He sneaked outside and no one even noticed. There was snow on the ground but it was still bright and sunny. There were trees and squirrels and birds and he felt like he could see for miles. Everything was so exciting and new that he walked and walked. The sun felt warm on his orange fur and the snow felt so funny under his feet. MacGuyver came to the edge of the little woods right at a busy street with cars that were loud and smelly. It was starting to get dark too.
“I should go home” he thought.
Where was home though? That was MacGuyver's big question. He had walked a long way and nothing looked familiar at all. He was only a puff of hair you could hold in one hand. He was small in the big world and getting scared.
MacGuyver sat and shivered as the night got dark and the cold came back. He walked a little way into the woods and feeling tired, cold, and very alone; he made a sad little bed under a thick bush. Wind made the trees creak and groan, and his imagination ... you can guess! MacGuyver wrapped his tail over his paws and sat through the night with his wide green eyes staring out at the strange frightening world.
Finally the new day came with a hope filled sunrise. MacGuyver stretched and licked himself clean. He started his search for home.
MacGuyver walked and walked all through the little woods for half the day. Suddenly he saw something familiar! It was the tree by the box where momma lived! MacGuyver ran so fast you could hardly see his little legs. He ran to the hole in the box and squeezed himself in. He was squeaking with joy.
It was empty! Momma and all his brothers and sisters were gone.
MacGuyver never learned what happened to his family. Maybe momma had found a better place and moved the family. Maybe people came to make them indoor cats. MacGuyver hoped for that.
MacGuyver was still alone and cold and hungry. He sat in the box for two whole days feeling worse and worse. If he tried to go outside there were dogs or owls and awful things he only imagined. When MacGuyver had almost given up hope he smelled something wonderful. People had thrown away the garbage from their Christmas dinner. The dumpster at the apartment building had been too full and a bag of turkey bones and dressing and other Christmas treats was just lying on the ground. The January sun was warming the pile and sending out the good smell.
MacGuyver had a feast. He walked through the woods and found a new home. Living under a dumpster was a hard life though, with mean dogs and scary people. He was so small though that no one could bother him if he stayed underneath. Sometimes there was no food but most days something would get spilled that he could eat. MacGuyver was always cold and missed his momma very much.
When MacGuyver looked out at night he could see the cold and the stars. He could also see one apartment with a ground level window that always had a light on. The window was only a short run from his home. Sometimes when the curtain was open he could see a lady walking around inside.
One night MacGuyver dared to cross the snow and look in the window. He was amazed. The place with the lady looked just like the stories momma used to tell about. He could tell it was warm inside when his nose touched the glass and could see green plants and ever so many things he didn't recognize. MacGuyver thought to himself, “I wonder if that is string, or maybe paper balls?”
MacGuyver made many visits to the window after that. He was always shy because he had learned that people were mean. His only true safety was under the dumpster. The lady didn't seem mean though. She sometimes looked at him but that was all.
One day a funny thing happened. The lady walked right up to the window and tapped on it with her finger. She tapped it right in MacGuyver's nose! MacGuyver jumped twice his own height in surprise and raced away. Later, as he curled his tail around his paws and tried to sleep, he thought that it really wasn't scary at all. MacGuyver thought it was a lot like playing games with his brothers and sisters.
MacGuyver visited the window as often as he could. Sometimes the lady was home and sometimes not. If she was there he would play the finger poking game with her. If she was not home he would stare at all the wonderful things inside. MacGuyver was still just a kitten. He missed his momma and it was always cold.
One morning the most remarkable thing happened! MacGuyver saw the lady bringing her own garbage bag to the dumpster. He was so curious that he didn't run and hide. He just sat there while the lady kneeled down and poked her finger at him. MacGuyver thought “this is just like the poking game without the window.” He stretched out his tongue to taste and to MacGuyver's surprise the lady picked him up!
Before MacGuyver knew what was happening the lady was rubbing his ears and scratching his tummy. He had not had a friendly touch since his family vanished. MacGuyver closed his eyes and purred. When he opened them again he was in her house. The lady had brought him into her home!
What adventure! MacGuyver raced and ran and jumped and explored. The lady even made string and paper balls. It wasn't until he got sleepy and laid down that he realized that he was completely warm for the first time in his life. The lady put out a dish of food which was far nicer than anything he ever found under the dumpster. Later she went to bed and MacGuyver crawled up next to her. It was just like being back with momma. It was warm and he was full and he was an indoor cat. The best thing a cat can be.

Whelp, I think I am done. Hasta luego.
If you don't pay (or work out a payment plan), they will eventually turn over your account to a collector. Who may make your life miserable for a long time.
Hasn't this been discussed enough by now? All new input is simply a rehash of what has been posted for days.
Unless the Q&A board is a method to get more clicks for advertisers.
Just implement the new rules and be done with it. Let the cards fall where they will. Prolonging the inevitable is a futile effort.
Whether intended or not, announcing the TOU changes before implementation has been very helpful to me. Reviewing this board over the last few days has opened the window into what we can expect site wide when the new rules take effect.
I will need to make a personal decision on either staying or giving up on Hub. I am much closer to making that informed decision and, for that, I thank you.
We need not only a photonics expert but also someone who is an expert in the status quo and what would be required to change it to accommodate Lightwave technology - as a person to help people have a more practical mindset re the rate of change one can expect..

This is to perfect service of process against your unlicensed practice of law.
I understand that nowadays many high schools are teaching finance, with an emphasis on "responsibility", to upperclassmen.
Clem is gone as far as I know. Has been for a while.
Dang! Have you considered asking your wife's relative to teach you how to make the cherry brandy? That might be a worthwhile hobby.
Once again where did you goto to law school at.
It is good to be King!
I don’t think IHub has a right to “assume” your plus one coins.
He says it takes 8 pounds of cherries to make one quart of cherry brandy
I would much rather read about the cherry tree than read your priggish bleating about said posts.
Company principals are fair game.
Other posters are not.
I cannot insult you any more. You are a friend! But I hope we made our point.
An idiot calling me a shit?! And a little one at that?
Man, they should have pinched your head off when you were born.
Damn Janice, you got into the New Flow quickly. You trying to fit in?

Regarding "other social media sites", the only ones I use any more are iHub and Silicon Investor.
I closed my twitter and Facebook accounts over a year ago, never to return.
I know now how easy it is to simply turn my back on sites I no longer find enjoyable. It seems such sites have become the norm, not the exception.
An important fact any social media enterprise should keep in mind.
