Ok gang, I think this is going to be it....
I have been having a hard time keeping up with the forum over here, and the fact that all commercial threads are now buried in the same section has really made this a losing fight. Besides, I have my own place, and quite frankly need to focus on that.
[color=red]As far as the information is concerned, I can only assume that it will remain. This is of course up to management, but I know that James16 hasn't logged on in almost an entire year, and his thread...
and a little disappointed, especially given some of the disparaging comments you have made about people like James16 only being in it for the $'s.I really believed you when you said that you would never charge for your insights
.I agree FF is not the same as it was - it has been taken over by too many ppl whose only objective is to attract us to their fee paying site.
And now you are charging $90 a month for your signal service.Presumably the new site will be the $ilent $ervice $y$tem
Not sure why I'm surprised tho, this seems to be the MO for most thread starters from J16 to Strat to Jacko and now you.
In fact there is only one guy I am aware of that really did run his thread with absolutely no ulterior motive(fti).
No I shouldn't be surprised but I am disappointed.

I must say I am surprised

Not sure why I'm...
That being said, you obviously haven't looked at my site. It has over 100 hours of free videos. I am sure that you think it should be free, and guess what - it is. There is everything you need there to understand trading. It doesn't cost me much to host it, and I won't lie to anyone suggesting that I am trying to "recoup" my costs for the server like James16 stated.
However, if I were fishing to make more money - I would be staying here and expanding this thread. It gets a lot more views than my little site. My site isn't my main source of income, and not even close to it. However, as I am being published, etc.....I figured that I should have my own place and offer these signals for less than the market is charging. It was more of an afterthought to be honest - most of the people on that site follow me as the analyst at the other sites I work for.
****
As for you specifically, you are more than welcome to start your own thread, record 100+ hours of videos, respond to text messages all hours of night, and run the forum in general. Also, you are more than welcome to put up with Internet trolls. Very few people are willing to stick their necks out in this "business." I happen to be one of them, and I have been rewarded for it. However, you will also notice that I give out a free trade idea on the front page every week, and had you followed them - you would have made money. So yes, I am greedy. I'm a trader.....you DO understand that like all things I work hard at, I would like to be paid from time to time. This has been a LONG journey. I have never turned anyone away, except to tell them that they won't be served well by my services. (I had to send someone away just two days ago as the time difference wouldn't have made the quicker signals worth while.)
So either feel free to do all of the above and then bother me, or you can simply go fuck yourself. Either works for me.
Cheers,
Chris

Ok... What page of "How to make friends and influence people" was that from?! 
Anyway, I am also one of the commercial members who have charged for a site in the past (and no longer do) so I understand the issues. After following this thread for a long time and receiving all the time and help for free I am not at all surprised to see this happen and not even slightly disappointed.

Chris --
You'll be missed. I will certainly come back less frequently knowing you won't be posting. But i'll be sure to drop in from time to time on your new venture.
At the end of the day you're providing content for FF and they are getting all the ad revenue. Seems like a silly arrangement -- it would be like pandora playing aerosmith and not cutting a check to aerosmith for the ability to play their songs. Not that i'm saying you're the aerosmith of forex, but you catch my drift
Anyhow, nothing but the best.

Not trying the make friends or influence people Hugh. Just telling it like it is, unfortunately that upsets some people.

No, that one was aimed at Chris, the new candidate for Mr Diplomacy 2013
