I am old now.
I was a Staff member in a p2p community some 20 years ago and we had a strategical view in that field, a line of conduct, some "musts" (for example being rigorous even towards "active" members that lacked respect to the community... you know, some people think that they are untouchable and can do or write whatever they want). That's why (I repeat it like a broken record) what I didn't understand was the lack of strategical vision that, like a disease, "poisoned" the spirit of some "voluntary contributors".
Surely this field (trading) is very very different from the one I was used to (p2p) and, since money is involved, maybe paying some $ for something that is sold at 100/500$ is the right "strategical decision" and, advertising it, is the lesser of two evils.
I wish you all the best in re-building this Board.
There are a lot of contributors, posting magazines, courses, books.
Let's hope they will go on with their appreciated contribution.
