I stand corrected ... but I do believe back in the good old penny plus days there were no more negatives on this than is typical on most of, if not all, the other boards.
Along that notion - a noteable difference is the dark clouds that hover over the once rose-colored glasses. Many, posters who once were positive are now PO'd and say so in different ways or are no longer posting.
opinion - some of the positive posters no longer posting on the board are getting advice from insiders which would mean they were privy to inside info all along
fact - i miss some of the positive posters
i once was one until somebody demanded 30 - 50 million shares!!! because an oil well scam fell through!! and the SHs have to get diluted over that! that little shenanigan did not seem to bother some - and what bout the lost/ spent/ stolen capital and assets prior to that ... sure hard to remain positive
