LIR - TFox - someone has helpfully blogged what DMac has said they will be doing with the site

Posted by Roger More (aka RogerMore) Oct 23 '08, 08:01

Now if HSX would actually maintain a blog for this purpose, as Bery suggested, it would be a lot easier.

And what idiot decided that people could post on the Announcements Board?

that's great, but $50,000 from comments still means every idiot out there posting 50 pieces of random crap every day. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:11 14
- Well, it depends. They are going to block spammers and obvious attempts at posting for money, I assume. - TFox Oct 23, 08:13 12
  - it makes the original game pointless - decline Oct 23, 08:17 11
    - I make about $12 million a year from playing Cold Cash and the weekly survey -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 08:22 3
      - i'm okay with those - the survey was market research (why they have the game) and the cold cash was advertising revenue. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 08:23 2
        
        It is awesome that you've changed your nick - if I run into you at the subway I am totally calling out "Danger Girl!" -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 08:25 1
        
        i like it, and it's fun, but it feels almost... fraudulent. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 08:32
    - 'cause $18 million really isn't all that much. I'm surprised they gave more ways to get free money when they were already complaining about there - mafic Oct 23, 08:20 3
      - It's more than I made in the first few years. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:22 1
        
        I think I was up to H$20 million by the end of my first summer, but those were the heady days of buying star wars at H$20. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:24
      - I mean, that was my thought too, but if they tweaked the guts or decided they could handle it, that is their call. - TFox Oct 23, 08:21
    - Well, for 1, $18M is a good week in the summer once you get rolling. And, c'mon, are people really going to write 50 thoughtful posts a day every day? - TFox Oct 23, 08:19 2
      - so, what we posted before - just chatting.... it wasn't spamming, but it wasn't 'thoughtful posting' either. - Danger Girl Oct 23, 08:22 1
        
        Well, for one, we don't know this is permanent. It could be like a Happy Hour special to get the forums rolling, and then taken away. - TFox Oct 23, 08:25
- It's been suggested that you get the 50k on your first post only. -- nm - CovingtonCat Oct 23, 08:12
"think we should be compensated for the days we could not trade" - ty97 Oct 23, 08:04 5
- These are always my favorite posts. "It.... it's not fair. But I'll smile if you give everyone H$1M for waiting." -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:05 4
  - I have 900,000 in cash. I really don't want any more h$. I just want to play my little openers and buy some IPOs. -- nm - Amy Oct 23, 08:08 3
    - Openers suck until Thanksgiving anyway; I'm in no rush. :) -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:10 2
      - The new Bond movie sucks? -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 23, 08:12 1
        
        OK, so they have 3 weeks. (I'm as excited for that as anything that came out this year.) -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:14
/me flags post as objectionable -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 08:03
Well, honestly, 1 and 2 are the most glaring problems on the site. - TFox Oct 23, 08:03 9
- I'm pretty sure I'm done even if they fix stuff. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:04 8
  - I think I'm going to not log in for a while, give them a chance to make it look like they intended, and then try again. - TFox Oct 23, 08:06 7
    - Trades are going through in real time today. I plan on just doing basic maintenance of my portfolios for a bit while they try to fix stuff and then - pmb Oct 23, 08:13 1
      - Well god yes, I'm not leaving y'all to go over there. Ever. But I hold out hope for the game. -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:16
    - My quitting is more a form of protest. - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:07 4
      - Well, like it says above, if they fix it to be easy (which it looks like they are doing) I don't see the point of the protest. -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:09 3
        
        They need to improve the searches--or make the ticker symbols propogate the trading box. -- nm - Amy Oct 23, 08:14 1
        
        They need to do a lot of stuff, I concur. But if they've already said they are fixing my biggest gripes... - TFox Oct 23, 08:15
        
        True enough. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:11
yeah, i've been trying to blog any updates just in case people are watching... - colin Oct 23, 08:02
