The Question and Answer Board

“same thing was done at raging bull, a clubboard was formed for idcc, what happened was, everybody stopped using the main board, so that the main board became irrelevant, and nobody could challenge anyone on the clubboard or ask tough questions, because they would be banned, i understand everybody hates once at the idcc board, but to me it makes it more interesting to have all different points of view, as long as it does not get personal “


Not so. Having opened both boards on the Bull I’ll walk you through what happened. I was originally on SI but because it was a site that you had to pay to post the membership was very low. I had numerous requests to participate on Yahoo so I gave it a try. The Yahoo thread quickly became a nightmare and one had to wade through hundreds of posts to find anything of value. The next move was the public IDCC board on the Bull. It started out very good but then certain members chose to go to other threads and tell them why they should sell their stock and buy IDCC. This opened the door to a real dog fight and all the bashers showed up on the IDCC thread. The personal attacks and the off topics they created once again left the IDCC investor with very little to read about his or her investment. Many TOS were turned in and people were kicked off the Bull but all they did was register under another name and the problem started all over again.

The final move was the Club board where I had the authority to suspend or remove members. When I did I also had to state why. As you know I booted you from the RB Club and after a period of time I let you back in on your promise not to start any trashing of members. If your honest with yourself and look back at your participation on all the IDCC threads I’m sure we can agree that your comments caused so many arguments which in turn created thousands of unnecessary OT posts. Do you think investors have the time to wade through all that crap? Well as much as you don’t like the idea of a Club you’re the type that needs someone watching you. Just the other day you attacked a poster just because he mentioned he spoke with a fund manger. You didn’t even wait to see what he had to say and you bashed him. In turn what did this create? Nothing but a bunch of OT posts to you which are worthless reading. I’m amazed that Matt and Bob gave you another chance after the way you bashed IHUB on both Yahoo and the Bull.

The whole entire time I ran that thread there was only one person I banned and would never let back in. That person posted a phony news release on April fool’s day and thought it was real cute. I in turn felt if one person bought on that news it would be a shame so I booted him. There was a few others including you that were booted but I always let them back in.

As far as Once and Olia they didn’t even have the balls to try and join.


The Club was doing just fine but the lack of technical support was what made me move to IHUB. No one knows how many hours I spent calling others giving them technical support that was the RB’s job.


IHUB is run by Matt and Bob but I have suggested to Matt that I think paying members should have some voice in certain matters. I told Matt that although some members do not break IHUB’s rules they are some that are very annoying and not wanted by most. I think if a person that manages a thread on IHUB has a person that is disturbing a discussion he should be able to put it to a vote to the paying members via a survey to see if that person should be banned from posting on that thread. The person in question could continue to use IHUB or open his own thread but not allowed to post where he was voted out of.

We elect our leadership by majority rules so maybe it might be a good idea here.



believe me, if there was an idcc clubboard again, i doubt i would be able to post, and as u have seen i rarely get personal, i just am a skeptic to some of these posts

You would be able to post but you would not be able to ignore the rules as you have done in the past.
