@Fi for the sake of clarity, you're on my ignore list too - this means you are not allowed to either quote, mention me or reply to my posts.

I thought that, too.

So it replied to me by email instead. So apparently I have to unsubscribe, as well as to ignore, to get away from it?

It told me the forum's more active than it's been in years (19,000 online on a Sunday, lol) and that the best communities are built by people who show up and say what they think (well, I've done that, anyway; it somehow doesn't quite realise - in spite of it having happened here - that some communities are also unbuilt/dismantled by hundreds of formerly active members having abandoned them ).

I just logged in to find that there have been nearly 19,000 people online today, of whom over 13,000 are actually online right now (not even a trading day). I did, eventually, add the "Fi" bot to my ignore list, as it suggested, but sadly it didn’t make the forum any more usable for me, because (for example) right now, it’s made 29 or 30 of the most recent 35 posts, and you can’t really even try to participate constructively, if you don’t know what’s already been said. I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t understand how the forum’s run, or what’s going on here. I can't help wondering whether a few hundred other formerly active members might feel the same way as me. I’m so sorry. But I wish everyone well.

I feel the same way, so you ar enot alone.

The AI bot says "But the forum isn't less usable -- it's more active than it's been in years"

More active with bots, but not with actual human traders.

The information above is incorrect. I can't quote it since users put me on ignore.

People dislike change. It's a known psychological proven.

Please find a new place to discuss your dislike of Big Mike's decisions, this community is not open for that - we are a positive, helpful community only. Big Mike has specifically directed me to remove further unconstructive complaints from users that aren't active in the community and aren't here to help.
