phew long read it's like I'm reading my own posts.

Regarding AS ... the fact that you guys use the word 'hit & runners' says enough on itself. When money is not invested, thus there's no profit it means it's a ponzi. It's actually MMG that I learned the phrase 'Ride to ponzi'. Why do you think a ponzi is illegal by law? Just to nag you around? It makes me angry guys that you are so ... searching for the right word ... numb by scams?

I don't want to label members, I want to educate them. And it's REALLY mind bogging how many unedicated fools are running programs. Being a great IT guy / designer is one thing, being a great responsible marketer or know ethics is something COMPLETELY different. So when it comes to actual trading, real estate, brokers? Can't be done by one guy.

I've had with being scammed. So I stopped endorsing ALL HYIPs and ASs last December. Just in time it seems. When you look at the HYIPs (I mean the ones like GF, GNI, etc.) it IS SO obvious. But people do not WANT to see it.

If MMG's slogan is, "to create wealth one world at the time" and one of my favourite lines by MJ is "when you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change". In other words ... where can I apply for moderator ship? Let's get some people with EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE to govern this forum. MMG should not be endorsing scams. Or introduce levels into the moderator ship. I

No offense buddy, but when you are throwing forex, lotto, etc. on the same hill? OUCH! And you seem to be endorsing scams. When you can't beat them, join them? Horrifying. Let's all join the maffia!

In AS / HYIP? Ask what they leverage the money in, what the corporate structure is, who's running what. I'm not talking about another sleazy blog like interview like ehm *aham* MNO. I'm talking about real solid data. By saying that's hard, you make it hard already.

If you have suggestions to make a change, then this is what this section is here for. I don't see any suggestions for MMG in your post, just complaints against the "industry" in general.

Moderator ship? Not sure what you mean by that, but we are not looking for any new moderators at the moment. If you have something special to bring to the table then you can PM me about that and we can talk. As far as "governing" the forum, our moderators are here to reinforce our forum rules. They do not govern over anyone.

running a hyip is governing an economy. So many factors you have to understand and appreciate before a real ponzi can be sustained. Anyone who has learnt economics can attribute and relate any real life force to that of a ponzi scenario.

economic left/right policies and libertarian/authoritarian policies have to be installed on a ponzi at the right moments otherwise it fails. It really really is that complicated.

The ponzi economy is still operating in a very unregulated free market due to its illicity and offers prime examples of market forces at work. Trollers, cheerleaders, blogs, monitors, forums, payment processers etc are all due to market forces. You can see milder forces at work in the illicit drugs trade... supply falls, prices rise etc.

ponzis are life and life is a ponzi.
