billr, calling for posting only the type of posts that you like on the board and those who have a different opinion should not post and rather sell and leave is unacceptable. In addition to the pennies investing rules you suggested of having a strong stomach and investing only what one can afford to lose, there's another rule that you must know yourself. Disgruntled and angry investors will post negative and angry comments and they have the right to do so, this is a fact. Also know that whoever bought at high prices due to company's cheerleading and got stuck and does not want to realize their losses by "selling and moving on", know that they will not leave and will not sell and will stay hoping for a run to get out with their initial investment. They will stay here and they will post their angry comments and will not sell and will not move on. I can not imagine getting stuck with such a stock and seeing things I don't like then not even have the right to get the pain off my chest by speaking it out and share it with other investors only because another poster does not like to see negative posts. The PPS is not waiting for a good or bad posts to go up or down, company's actions and results will override any posts good or bad. Unless this board is marked as a "Cheerleading Only" board, you yourself should be prepared to hear the positive and the negative too. Maybe by posting the negative, the management know that investors are not satisfied with their actions and do something about it (if they care).
That was long but I'm fed up with posters who are trying to dominate the boards and shape them in the way they like. Any poster should know he's only a peer, don't tell people to stay or leave because you like or dislike what they express in their posts, they can decide for themselves.
And I hope posters focus on objective discussions about investment issues rather than calling for other to leave every time they face a worthy comment or complain they they can not reply to.

Hey!!!
I have a suggestion that makes far more sense than all the complaining on the board here.
Those of you who are unhappy with having your funds in BBDA just sell your shares and move on. No one is forcing you to stay in this stock.
To start with anyone who invest in penny stocks should first have a strong stomach and nerves of steel. Next they should never put any money into a pink stock that they are not at liberty to throw away or lose.
It is always a gamble and all the griping in the world is not going to improve your situation. On the contrary it is more likely to make it worse.
As for myself I am happy with the funds I have in BBDA and if I had more uncommitted funds I would buy a few more million shares.
Peace
BillR
Your money, your decisions.
