    Sorry but we are having issues at this time. It all started up a couple of days ago when the script seems to have reverted back to 2009.

    It is intermittent, which makes it even stranger.

    The techs have been notified so hopefully the problem should soon be fixed.

    No data is lost I think, just some glitch reverting back the date. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.
    It seems like in this "industry" common sense is not all that common!

    LOL, ya got her hanging on your every word...she came over here and copied this and pasted at WL with a response. I tried to copy the response, but the site reverted back to 2009 while I was in it. With her, Fester the Boil and Buster the Dog as fans, your celebrity know no bounds...!

    Trolldust has a lot in common with TwitTack....They both got similar post history....Full of personal attacks, putting members down and general trolling....Neither of them add anything of value to their respective forums.....
    If they were normal members they'd be booted loooooooong ago....

    SBM: Thought you would enjoy reading what finix had to say about this comment of yours:

That has just steeled my resolve to look out for those who could be harmed. I feel morally and ethically obligated to stand for what is right.

    Finix reply:

    While it's understandable, that's all it is - raw emotions. Looking at things objectively, life is not easy. A lot of things can happen to people. Some of those things are not their fault, and some are their fault. Yes, participating in scams can leave a person in ruins, but so can an unexpected illness, bad divorce, estrangement from family and a lot of other events we have no control over. Should everyone who lost everything for any of these reasons kill themselves instead of trying to get back on their feet? I think not.

    Participating in scams is choice, though. Should we live our lives by forcing the choices we would make on others because we know the choices would hurt them? I think not.

    This quote by Finix has to be one of the most heartless things I have had the misfortune to read on the subject of fraud in a long time

    It is also one of the most stupid comments I have read . Participating in scams is not a choice. Scams are frauds and people do not knowingly fall for frauds. Scammers are frauds or "confidence tricksters" (as in the old fashioned expression CON MEN). The only people who voluntarily participate in frauds are the scammers/conmen and the scam promoters, who are also scammers/conmen. The rest join because they have been CONNED into it.

    I've heard of some excuses by scammers, but this takes the biscuit.

    It's really not a surprising answer considering their motto 'only invest what you can afford to lose' for their non-investment scams. This is their opnly way to attempt to justify their theft actions.

    You said a mouthful there and beautifully spelled it all out for us. Thank you so much for that. Anyone who has been involved (not newbies) in scams/hyips/ponzies/pyramids etc know full well that all the scammers/scam admins/scam mods/scam live chat/scam monitors/pimps want to do is feed off the raw emotions of people. Without these 'raw emotions' scammers would get nowhere...PERIOD!

    Yes, participating in scams can leave a person in ruins
    And this is acceptable to you and the scammers? Knowing you all have participated in leaving these people in ruins?

    Participating in scams is choice, though.
    A choice for who? For the scammers/scam admins/pimps/scam monitors/scam live chat/scam mods? Who, exactly, is this a choice for when there are those out there who feed off of peoples 'raw emotions'?

    Should we live our lives by forcing the choices we would make on others because we know the choices would hurt them? I think not.
    If there is nothing to hide, and you are not forcing your 'choice' on others, why do all the scam admins/pimps/scam monitors/scam live chat/scam mods/paid posters tell such elaborate lies? If no one is 'forcing choices' on others, why don't all these scammers come right out and tell everyone they are out to do nothing BUT scam you? At least then we would have a choice, right?

    Don't go confusing finix with reality, logic and truth. Changing the quote slightly from a famous movie, "she can't handle the truth." Let alone reality and logic.

    Re: Talk Gold Mods On A Banning Spree

    Remembering Brian now owns both major pimp palaces and the HYIP ponzi "industry" is in a general funk, I don't think Mr Krassenstein would be particularly worried.

    Anyone who thinks HYIP ponzi forum owners survive solely on traffic and advertising needs an urgent infusion of reality juice.

    Andy Bowdoin was caught with around $80 MILLION in CASH alone.

    Does anyone really think he did it unaided ?? That there were no "kickbacks" ??? That preferred positions on forums can't be bought and rules ignored ?? Moderators can't be "guided" ?? Charis Johnson did the whole 12DP thing alone ??

    With that sort of money floating around, why would declining Alexa figures worry anyone ??

    Think Legisi, think 12DP, think ASD, think CEP.

    All of them featured heavily on Talkgold and MMG and all of them had MILLIONS passing through them, most of it not documented and all of it through untouchable phony payment processors.

    Coincidence ??

    I think not.



    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

    The opposite. This is one of the most heartfelt things about the industry one can state after having been as deep into it as I have been.

    Look, we all can disagree about HYIP forums, their policies and usefulness for the industry. What I think we'll all agree on is that there will be a lot of scam victims around the holidays. Some of them will have lost everything, and what they need to hear is to not give up trying to get back on their feet. No matter how hard it is now, it will get better. I know because I've been there.

    Re: Talk Gold Mods On A Banning Spree

    Of course the banning of all of us "naysayers, trolls, negative thinkers, jealous of winners, losers, afraid to take risk" people had nothing to do with this decline. What is even funnier is that they banned a lot of people thinking they were part of Eagle, when none who were banned are on our team or one of our volunteers. They went to all that trouble for nothing.

    But it does seem that an "olive branch" has been indirectly extended somewhat via Web Life when Geoff (ForwardOne) replied to finix:

    Forward One: Not as such, but anyone is welcome to write in asking for their ban to be lifted. All requests are given proper consideration.


    It was a nice gesture on his part, but at least he offered.

    People who have no interest in the industry other than critique would be by definition trolls. It's not an insult, it's a fact. Yes, they do bring traffic, but how much of it is useful and to whom is a different question.

    Yet, the main issue with trolls on HYIP forums is in my opinion their tendency to operate in teams. It clutters the threads and is annoying. If you guys spread around the programs a bit more (one or two for each or so), you might see few issues with being banned on forums. But again, just my opinion.

    Anyone that is exposing the scam is 'their' definition of a troll. It doesn't matter how many are in any thread...they will be banned.

    Who is "they"? If you mean HYIP admins themselves, they have no say in how forums are run. Forum owners are not anything other than third party advertisers. Those who run TG happen to be very fair and reasonable business people, you won't find any better in the industry. My position is, why trash the only semi-normal thing in it?

    It sounds like a pre-conceived notion. Plenty of people say harsh things when the programs end. Only naysayers dwell on beating the dead horse. Try a different tactic, something like short to the point sentences instead of consistent presence in the threads. If you are still banned after this, then you will have a case to state bias.
