No I'm threatening to fold the Shitty Blogs Club again. (Well not today, anyhow.)

The CW Stock for SBC has gone bankrupt!

I blame you all.

I invested my hard earned ducts into that stock, as all good members should have.

But you didn't. Did you?

And now looked what happened!

Hang your heads in shame!

Shame!

I tried to invest in it, but the system would never let me do it.
No.

This is beginning to sound like a conspiracy.

Jeckles it happens to the best of us man. Maybe one day the stock will make a come back. Rename the company and come back. That's what a lot of these bankrupt companies do.

Hell my company isn't even there anymore. It didn't go bankrupt or anything.

I think, maybe, the mother ship came and took it away.

For the record, I had stock with SBC so you blew my money too ya bastid.

I tend to think of this club the same way i think of Revolver By The Beatles.....
You don't listen to it for years, but it's a comfort to know it's there (in between Licence to ill and Tigermilk)

This club is a shitty one, but one i couldn't do without.

Anyone that says otherwise can cock off.

DO NOT CANCEL THE FUCKING CONTEST :mad:

And for the record people. I have talked with Dave at some length about this, the companies in the CW stock exchange can and will go bankrupt at will for no reason. That's just how the coding for the program is. It happened to my company. No matter how many people have or have not bought stock in a company, it might just happen out of no where. McAwesome has told me that it's a work in progress, so don't take it to seriously.

Poor Poor D...

You've got this thread so out of context...

It's not worth explaining.

Just rest assured that the contest will go on.

I know, but the stuff about the stock exchange was true, I lost several hundred ducats in companies that went under. That's why I'm biding my time and saving them. Good thing too, because now I have alot of ducats to bribe people :D

The Chaos Stock and Mercantile Exchange will be upgraded shortly (and hopefully be a bit more stable and this time actually hand out dividends like it's supposed to). Because I didn't code the upgrade, however, it still doesn't do exactly what I want it to do.
