Keep your i-hub accounts if possible. You can PM free on Fridays at happy hour. It's still a useful site. Investors Hangout is a safe haven where you can talk stocks without fear of bashers, harassment or iron fisted moderating. Even Raging Bull still has a few uses.

If you're banned from i-hub, you can still read the boards, just not the special private ones.

I've been off i-hub since around March 2013 after a 3 year ban. It takes a little getting used to but I'm much better off not wasting my time fighting with those assholes.
