Didn't JonnyT quit in the end?
Quit trading you mean? I've no idea - he seemed to be addicted to mechanical systems and had one that was all the rage for a while. I was only a part-time peruser back then so my memories of that era are a bit.....patchy.

Skimble gave the impression she was a profitable ES trader
Given a choice I personally wouldn't turn the clock back. Then it was a den of multinicks, closet vendors and trolls. Now you have a reasonably clean site (as far as we know), plenty of members who know what they are doing if you just look around.
Anything pre 2005 really...
Who to listen too, wow, not so easy but the array was so much better and the tpoics so much more in-depth. EVERYONE seemed eager and intent on learning and discussing and helping but off the top of my head......

The list could and would go on and I'm sure others could add to this too..... (some members will argue they shouldn't be in the same list and some will say others shouldn't be in the list at all but they all contributed nuggets and gems for different merits.)
No btw, no word document! Sorry...
Tony and Albert may have been a pain in the ass at times but at least they made you think.
I have a lot of sympathy with the comments made by Wasp and others. On the face of it, if there was a chart of T2W for its content and informed debate about trading, I suspect it might look like something from the banking sector. However, I also think that Don is right - there is lots of good stuff here - it's just hard to find. Although Sharky will disagree, I think T2W is just too big to function effectively. If you log on just once a day, there can easily 5 pages of new threads to wade through. I suspect, like most people, I look at very few of them. Some sort of filter has to be applied and, for me, it's a combination of an attention grabbing title and/or the thread is started by a member I know and respect. I often wonder how much good stuff I miss amongst all the dross. In the 'good ol' days' when the likes of Skim' and Chartman were around, there were less that 30,000 members; now there's five times as many. Inevitably, the ratio of quality content relative to total cr@p is always going to be small and, as the site continues to grow exponentially, the good stuff will become ever harder to find. If I still had my 'T2W Advisor' hat on, I think I would be pushing for the site to be divided in some way to help filter the wheat from the chaff. I realise there are all kinds of problems associated with this but, sooner or later, I think it's going to have to be considered if the issues raised by Wasp and others are to be addressed.

Yes...that's exactly what they made me think.
Well, I'm going to don my rose tinted glasses, drink up and say adieus as there is nowt here for me anymore...
A damn shame you say? How ironic. It is ignorant, rude, petulant, unpleasant insufferable individuals like you that drive the holders of valuable trading knowledge away from these forums. You can attempt to entertain us (but mostly yourself) with your idiotic one liners as you jump from thread to thread begging for information, but one day you will find yourself in desperate need of information and it will be withheld. I am telling you this for YOUR benefit, not mine. Don't expect me to tell you if your understanding of the animal allegories are correct. Go and spend 1000's of hours of your time and $1000's of your own money figuring it out. Maybe then I will have some degree of respect for you. Until then, I strongly advise you not to annoy me anymore.
Now you mention it - it does ring a bell! But why not revisit the idea? I think it's time that something is done; ignoring the problem isn't going to make it go away. As for Sharky, well, I would have thought he'd be open to any idea from vet's and advisors to improve the site so long as it doesn't sap his time or his (bulging!) wallet.Didn't we do this already and the lack of input and change from Sharky was what caused firewalker and I, and others, to go to Tlab and/or chatzy in the first place.
....I agree some very good people have left or do not contribute any more.....This site used to be one rare exception to the other sites...but I am sure that there will be others who will fill in their shoes......But for me it will not be the same.....Perhaps I am getting old...!!
