The fall & failures of Stockhouse.....This is a little off topic here, but still quite relevant to any meaningful discussions being held on this failing platform. I personally don't coinsider SH to be one of the better or useful social networking & investment forums around, so i don't personally use as much or as i use to in the past, but it still has a decent following/populaton and some usefulness when connecting with like minded investors who want ot share ideas. Which brings me to the point i want to make here, or on any other board on SH.
While communicating with another fellow investor, who btw was quite interested in the commentary i've been making recently, had told me and made me aware that there was an "issue" with some of my past comments. Comments that this fellow i was speaking with, was interested in reading and getting informed on. He told me that those commments made over the years are NOT accesible anymore. Stunned by this, and it's not like thought he was lying or that i didn't bleieve him outright, but i decided to investigate on my own and see if what he was saying was true & accurate. And to my surprise, he was indeed absolutely correct. Making matters worse, it seems to be that anyone who made ANY commentary past a year, all those comments are NO LONER readable or accesible by anyone.
Why is this shocking & pertinent? Because if someone wishes to get informed on a certain subject or do some due diligence or view the opinions/views of other for whatever reason, all those commentaries that many people (like myself & many others) put a lot of time & energy into are NO LONGER available to no one! Which is a damn shame & SHAME on SH for implementing such a short sighted, idiotic & dreadful decision! Because as worthless as this platform has become for sharing opinions & ideas ( YES folks..... SH isn't what it use to be & it basically killed itself off by massive censorship & bad mgmt), the fact that investors, especially NEW investors were able to view ALL the past commentaries ALL its members made, which btw SH was really good at keeping that crucial aspect of the platform in good condition & easily accessible to anyone, it was the only thing worthwhile that was left on SH.
So why am i posting this on the Suncor forum? Because, i find this is one of the very FEW forums where the majority of the folks that post here are quite knowledgeable, on the same level as myself and pumps/bashing are kept to a bare minimum. Most of the folks here KNOW quite well what they're talking about, so once in a blue moon i do revisit some of your previous comments, by folks such as Experienced, Migraine, Obscure & a few others, just to see their past views and where they stood or had predcited. To me this is VERY uselful as my past commentary might useful to others. And i did infact TRY to view some of those past insightful comments made by some of you, but unfortunately they were not available anymore. So i find it a complete disgrace that Stockhouse has taken this away from us. Why even bother to come on here anymore is our comments won't be there for anyone to see any longer in 6 months? I see no reason.
So if you agree or plainly just weren't aware this has happened, i urge you guys to make your voices known to SH, and demand they reinstate those valuable comments, information and opinions so many folks put so much time & bother to make. For those that disagree, some might see this as a rant, and it could be justly viewed in that fashion, but the mian point i want to make here or the message i want to get across is the following, what it is worth to post anything anymore IF those comments won't be there much longer for anyone to see them?
Just some food for thought........
