I posted this in this thread and it has been up there for almost 30 minutes now. Didn't expect to stay up there for so long after the other deletions.

Well I ask everyone, take a long hard look at what ASM is and how it has effected you for better or for worse. I think many people such as my self, will look at how amazing the concept is, and will also see, that moving forward with this concept was all you ever wanted, and now it seems to be sitting with a foot on the gas and one on the break, leaving a dirty cloud of smoke over ASM.

I'm not going to make a list of missed deadlines, but I will start to keep track of how long past the 'set' deadlines these things take to happen, if they ever do.

98% of frustration here is because of missed deadlines, and the loss of trust between the client and the product.

I feel the same about the state of the exchange at the moment. For you it must be even more frustrating cause you did many good things for this site and it took a lot of your time. For me it's only a big amount of money I consider lost at the moment. I know we all think and feel this concept is great otherwise we wouldn't keep coming back. In my opinion the problem of this site is the management. Cause they are so weak in communicating with their customers I know a lot of the traders are starting to think this site is going nowhere (including me). We got dozens of trial accounts and nobody knows why, because management doesn't communicate with us and posts get deleted and accounts get locked out. Everybody is afraid to talk about this in the forums cause it could get them a trial account as well. I don't even dare to withdraw any money for the same reason. I think management causes these fears and frustrations, every day we see posts or mails of the support girls saying 'I'll forward this to management, legal or the STCC' but we never get clear answers. This is just my opinion and I really hope ASM is man enough to not delete this post and keep my account out of the trial area, cause I don't think I have broken any forum rules this time.

I don't normally post much but I really like this thread and decided to throw some input in. As far as the whole 'obscure leagues' thing goes I agree that maybe a few of them should be bought back and then re-released at a later date when we get more traders. I feel that fewer stocks would increase trading among the stocks that are left because there is a less broad spectrum for everyone to trade in. Then at a later date re-release these. I would say go with the leagues that have the fewest trades per stock because that would mean they are the least popular. There is a problem with this though. Now im not doubting the integrity of ASM in anyway I just know that in order to buy back all these stocks at once would probably not be possible for them to do business wise. They would have to do it slowly as im sure they have at least some of the money locked up somewhere in a longer term investment so as they can pay users in the long run...at least i hope thats the case. But i think this would be a good idea. Like someone said earlier....1 step backward can make a big leap forward....or something like that. Im not going to give my opinion on the TRIAL accounts because anything i say wont have any progressive effects anyway. Thats between ASM and the many traders that seem to be in question.

On the Advertising topic. There are quite a few things that could be done to get quite a few users influxed here. I know there is a huge base of users in the HYIP/Work At Home community that would love to hear about ASM and all it has to offer. Thats just one example. TV commercials in the US would be out of the question for now as ASM is not yet legalized in the US. In the event they do become legalized in the US trader base will grow exponentially as everyone knows. But maybe setting off and advertising campaign in another country would probably work well. Maybe if a side project was created in the ASM staff to get the word out in other countries while they are trying to get legal in the US. The US legal system is a slow one and getting the word out in other countries in the meantime would increase traders and start the word of mouth process up again. I know there are probably legal issues in other countries but they have to be easier to overcome than the boundaries here in the US. Ok Sorry for the excessively long post I just had a couple of opinions Glad to see people bringing together ideas for improvement! It can only help!
