Hey Judge, very well written post, along with HowTo's. I wanted to send you a PM instead of putting this on the board. I was pissed off about the boards and with all of the crap going on over there too. I stopped posting months ago also because of the same reasons you stated. I refused to post there and thought if everyone did also, the bashers would get bored and eventually leave. And it never made sense to me why Steve and Joseph would stoop down and post there too. But I made the realization, an obvious one in retrospect, that this is just a game. As weird as it might be, bad PR is good PR. Steve said it himself today before he got deleted. He wrote that he heard that the Punch board was lacking new posts and that he posted there just to get Plutus and the other bashers to get posting again! Steve knows the penny stock game. He wants to see Punch as the most posted and viewed boards out there. Even if its just the BS basher stuff! People on the sidelines are watching the boards. Steve is confident that the revs will get the pps moving again and that people will get in. Its much easier to do that with a board that is being read and posted on than a dead board that has 2 people in it. This is what Slic has been saying too. He pokes the bashers on purpose to get them posting more. The chartists, new investors and flippers are just waiting for this to break and hold above resistance at 30, they are ready to jump in. And regarding Steve posting there more than here, thats part of the PR campain also, imo. We might hate it, but iHub is much, much bigger than I Hangout. The buzz there is more important than here. Plus, we are always in the top posted and read, so we are already in peoples minds here. It seems weird but this is just a game. Dont let all of the negative stuff get to you, it actually serves a purpose and is being kept alive by Steve and some of the longs ON purpose. Steve knows he will blow the bashers out of the water with growing revs but for the time being the bashers help keep his company in the Pennyland spotlight. Weird indeed, but Steve knows what the future holds so he doesnt care about the current bashing. I hope this makes some sense, sorry that its a massive text blob, the ipad doesnt allow paragraphs for some reason.
