For long I have aspired to take part in a society of sorts where members can engage in high-level, serious discussions on finance, politics and professional topics with a veil of secrecy and the freedom to truly express one's inner thoughts without any duty to keep up with political correctness.
The "open" nature of the internet hence makes it hard for one to post without any fear of real life implications. Our main chatter thread "The Gentlemen's Club" hosted on Hardwarezone.com, whilst remaining as our main active thread, has received considerable unwanted attention and resulted in several breaches of confidentiality. Also, we became subject to "online trolling" and combined that with the paranoia of knowing that your words could potentially be "quoted" by other users and used against you, the flow of high level, honest ideas was overtly suppressed.
Knowledge flows best in the freest and most equal society. It is with these intentions in mind, I, along with a few pioneers, created this private forum where members must be invited in order to access "Our Inner". Any member suspected of breaching our collective secrecy will be suspended.
We hope you can contribute positively to the laissez-faire environ that I hope to nurture. In this place, everyone is truly equal. No one has to take shit from any other, even the Admin staff. Please feel free to openly make biased statements, pass comments on other people's opinions and I also hope you can be magnanimous when the time comes for you to receive criticisms for your perspectives.
After all, our objectives are clear: We are all here to invest, learn and share
On this note I wish you all the best in your health and career. Happy posting
Sincerely,
Moderator
