Really nice stats. Maybe TG should open some hyip folders in foreign languages(Its not that it costs you much). This way the number of members will increase and as well TG's earning.

That is interesting, though not really surprising. If I recall the hyip arena of 4 or 5 years ago I remember the forums such as talkgold were thriving with British, American and Canadian members. These members all spoke english and all had something useful to contribute to the forum.

If you have a look at Talkgold now, at least 90% of the posts are pure nonsense, mainly by people who are post building hoping to build up a bit of a reputation. Many people have said that hyips have grown in the past few years. I would have to agree with this if you are speaking in terms of actual members, however in terms of the dollar amounts exchanged and the profit earned I would have to say that it has decreased. If you look at the current hyips folder you will see that it is infested with hundreds of pathetic hyips run by people from poor third world countries that are only interested in stealing money.

In the good old days we actually had investments (hyips) that resembled actual real companies. They were professionally run. These days, the forum is plagued by a wave of amateur websites, coupled with thousands of $5 investors from poor countries.
