Without us - no entertainment. We want dividends!! Or paycheck!!

Nothing makes my jewish soul more happy than to see a fail grammar ****.

And, please contact me regarding the "full collateral for a ripped *******" deal, thx.

I'm concerned that you're effecting the MD culture.

I'm not sure there is a great deal left of MD culture for anyone to effect.

I think one of the points you made is relevant to this.

You said that MD needs more active policing. Flakeys countered by saying it didn't do us much good when we had it. But I agree with you and I believe Flakeys is giving the old MD too hard a review.

We had active policing, we had lots of uncollateralised loans, we had more discussion and we had more of a community. We didn't actually have more scams than we have now and investors made a lot more isk from their investments.

The move to lazy/easy mode investing and a full collateral or GTFO attitude has a cost, no matter how prudent it may be, because it has removed much of the activity that fueled MD.

it keeps evolving and changing all the time, adapting itself to the needs of the current situation.

If so then i am giving MYSELF too hard a review.

The times i countered loan requests with questions and factuall links are countless.It did not help one bit because in the end the new guys would still fall for the same **** while the ''older crowd'' would still stand behind those who ''had respect'' blindly.

I have been one of the biggest if not THE biggest investor in unsecured loans over the last years on MD , and that's accounting that i have not been loaning out isk for some while besides a handfull of reqeusts.

It's like warning people for goonscams and/or jitascams.At a certain point you fail to see why you are even bothering playing big brother for the other guy who in the end instead of thanking you only points at you for ''being a troll'' .

If anyone wants to do this then by all means but speaking for myself i'll quote one of my favourite movie lines : '' i'm too old for this ****''.

Absolutely. But the current situation doesn't need a community, so it's has adapted to that need by absenting itself from the forum.

Hey, I know. I was there.

And I believe you are being a bit hard on yourself and the others (including me) that put a lot of work into making MD better in the past.

That part is slowly being killed off while we are heading for a collateralised loans ONLY erra .

As stated above better did not mean better from a pure investors perspective.It was better for the social interacting in the game though , that i can agree upon.It was a fun way of playing a game of monopoly.

Let me be clear again.I LOVED how MD was and that is something that is lacking currently.But it had it's downside from an investors point of view.That part is slowly being killed off while we are heading for a collateralised loans ONLY erra .

Yeah, I think we are on roughly the same page on this subject.

And I fully accept my own involvement in MD has not always been positive. But exactly how fun would this be without the scammers?

Stoping posting with the hope that someone good will fill the void is not a path, its the opposite.

I did stop posting for an extended period.

As far as I can tell the only thing that filled the void was a fresh bunch of trolls.

Oh, and I LIKE IT. I'm not sure if he counts as a troll.
