Quote from: Buzz on Jul 31, 2025, 05:47 PMThat seems pretty innocuous, but using the actual website address as a link might elicit a different response. Either way, if I owned Sharetalk or ST I'd censor out any references to the competition, regardless of how confident I was in my 'product'.

Kudos to Admin to even allow this thread to run its course given the nature of it, IMO. Brave call, I like it.

Likewise.

Theres a lesson here. We forum members are consumers. We like service and quality. And choice. That's why things other than monopiles are so good.

feel free to discuss other platforms, this site isn't a gold mine nor much of a time sink. It exists for you, not for itself.

As a November 2024 addition to stocktalk I had initially looked to also register with the other site, but found the verification process there cumbersome to say the least and only last few days are reassured that the identity validation rig-moral wasn't actually as a result of the site having been hacked.
Today I am happy not to consider to engage there, find half the posts are more about ego clashes / contra money personalities of posters and sometimes takes a few pages of scrolling to comprehend what many of the posts are trying to say.

Good commments

Ive become much more about the stocks we already hold than looking around for others to buy, but still appreciate being able to read comments and get updates on the market

Don't see many comments from winner here and do miss the banter between all of the participants. That said there were some awfully one-sided pretentious members on ST for a while that probably caused the angst

Thanks for that.

Everyone should keep in mind we only get out of this what we put into it. If people post rubbish as happens on ShareTrader then of course it turns to custard. It's a much better attitude here from admin & posters....so long may this continue! No way will I share equivalent content on ShareTrader as I do here. Too many loud mouths there who contribute nothing of value or interest.

A forum may have been overstating it a bit. But the "Club" has over 69,000 members. Which is a few more than the 4,400 stated Shartrader forum members.

Not quite a forum......if you think the old mods at ST were a bit OTT, then you have to get your post past the WAY WAY WAY over the top Shareies moderators....

I think most have given up on that pages yonks ago.
