I'm a bit lost as to why we need to move this - isn't there a way of staying on this platform even if we call it AFB2 or something close to that? I'm trying to see if I can get ahold of her on Avi's site but she hasn't posted in years. I don't have her personal email although I do know who she is and know her name. ugh.

Are Unique and Lovemyipad the same person?
Great to see some old-timers back here!

No they are not. I just heard back from the Admins at the Elliott Wave site and they haven't heard from her in a VERY long time. ugh. Any other thoughts? Are there no emails that are ever associated with our names? I guess not.

Proboards wants the clicks. If we threaten to leave, perhaps they will grant another long term member admin rights if properly persuaded. I vote for jdsocal for the job.

Memory has faded though. I knew she moved on to other investments, but she didn't strike me as the type of person who would ghost. I always thought it was weird she hadn't stopped in for so many years.

She posted a few times on the Ninja trader forum. I contacted them and asked them if they could contact her so she could log into the board. No reply yet. If we keep launching enough of these bottles with notes inside, one of them will wash up on her shore

Anybody remember what the market cap would have been if we reached $700 in 2012? I think somewhere between $600-$700B?

I also found a post to a forum at the Denver Post. I know someone who used to work there doing their online version. He might be able to get an e-mail sent to her. It is a long shot, but we will see. I thought that Phobes had a really good point though. If we start a second forum here on Proboards and call it AAPL Finance Board (The Second Trillion). Everyone could still access this one for old posts but move to the new one.

We can't be the first forum to have this kind of issue. ProBoards has support forums for administrators and other help areas. Maybe if we run it by them?

Hello everyone, I first want to congratulate Apple for achieving 1 trillion dollar valuation. I also want to congratulate all of the AFB members who have held on through all the ups and downs. I am Galleybob the cause of so many members trying to help me get back on this board. I want to thank all of you for the efforts that you have taken to try to upgrade AFB to be able to open up the board again. I’m sure very few of you know who I am. I hardly ever posted as I felt most people were trading and I was always long term hold. I have been a member from almost the beginning when I made my first Apple buy when it was was really the iMac company, a few years before the iPod came out. I bought back then because I realized that OSX would change everything for Apple. When I read that it would be portable I knew the possibilities were endless. I was amazed that I was able to log on today. I became locked out because Pro Boards would not accept my password so I had to change my password and then when that didn’t work I changed my log in name. I kept getting messages saying approval was pending. Today I realized that because there is no adminiastor the change in my user name it only effected Proboards and I was able to go back to my original name and create a new password. Years ago after the iPod came out and the stock was skyrocketing there was a discussion on what it would take for Apple to hit a 1 trillion valuation. I wonder if anyone remembers that, it would be interesting to look back and reread. Thanks again to Lucky Choices for reaching out to AFB on my behalf and to all members who have been posting and trying to reach out to LovingmyiPad, and who have contacted Robert Leito, and Proboards

Welcome galleybob. Glad you made it. Your issues sped up inquiries that were already underway.
Participation has been decreasing for a while. About 60 new members have enrolled post 2014 but none has ever posted or even logged in. Though it is not unheard of for people to register and never log in, it is unusual for every person who has registered during an extended period to not participate. Without Administrative privileges none of us can figure out what is going on or resolve it.
I am optimistic that the with many ideas for contacting Lovemyipad recently we will locate her and get an active administrator again. Fingers crossed.
***
If anyone can get ProBoards to authorize another administrator or provide contact information for Lovemyipad, more power to you. To date, they have been extremely firm with their security protocols...

It seems ridiculous that we are stuck in this situation. I agree that we cannot be the first or last folks this has happened to. Can Proboards offer any suggestions?

What's the big reason we need mod again? Have I not been behaving myself? I used to Skype with Lovemyipad, aka, Monica. But that was a long time ago and I don't even have Skype installed anymore. I'll install it tomorrow and I have like 3 accounts, so I'll see if I can find her... Has anybody noticed this big run-up has been during down DJI days? Just imagine if the freaking Dow would get its shit together. Funny, but in the last two days I made as much in AAPL as I did in the first 10+ years I owned it. To paraphrase Buffett, "buy good stocks, and never sell them."
