People come here seeking information about DXGold.

The VAST majority of opinions posted here are negative.

There was one HUGE discussion that started out very positive, but even that ended on a negative note. (As I recall, that was the one where even eDave, who is making money, became concerned that it might not be what it seemed, and I know that is the point at which I personally decided it most likely wasn't what it seemed.)

As long as the negative outweighs the positive, people who come here will, for the most part, see it for what it is and *not* get involved. That's what we're here for.

There are positive and negative posts about some of the yukkiest MLMs, but as long as the negatives outweigh the positives and the truth is told, they stay (except when the positives are an attempt to recruit by recruiters who won't go away, then the whole thing is zapped).

Because there is no point in discussing the $6 chain letter.

There are so many, I automatically zap them. It isn't "an opportunity" per se. In seven years, I can count one one set of toes the people who have come to this board saying, "Hey, what about the $6 chain letter?" They come here to POST their $6 chain letter.

If you look, you'll find that sometimes I *do* leave a $6 chain letter because it is followed by an excellent post explaining the evils of said chain letter, which is valuable to people who are considering it.

Possibly. I'll let him speak for himself.

I remember PRSI well, and I agree.

I think most people can see the problems with the reply eDave quoted -- and if they can't, enough of you pointed them out.

I am not leaving DXGold discussions up to pander to my friend eDave. I am leaving them up because they provide INFORMATION to people seeking it.

Never.

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT.  It has been done before, but never successfully.  In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH:  I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday.  I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish.  I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?).  I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" 
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.  We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.
        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law.  You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual.  We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration.  If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board.
        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
