I'm new here.
Been looking around.
Lots of interesting topics.
On another forum I follow, advertisers can buy a thread.
Their ad appears on that thread and the advertiser is moderator for that thread.
Some of the best discussions are that way.
I don't have anything to advertise, but I have several topics that are too "delicate" to release "in the wild".
The discussion would degenerate quickly into silly comments.
I'd pay my own money to moderate a "curated" thread.
The topics are all on-topic to "off shore" and legal.
Nothing "dark".
Nothing you could not post "in the open", but would be much more carefully moderated.
Here are some of the topics I'm thinking about.
I won't discuss any of these topics here.
They are merely examples:
- Services that don't call themselves banks and don't look like banks, but still hold funds in a safe manner, and disperse funds on demand. (I've used several such services in several countries, with always good service.)
- Moving assets as tangible things instead of as funds which require wires or transfer services. (One example: buy a boat with money in Hong Kong. Pay a crew to sail it to Phuket, Sell the boat there and get the money there. NOT a good idea in today's economy, but explains the concept without revealing other possibilities.)
- Emails that never travel on the public Internet, so they cannot be intercepted by nosy governments or by private hackers, and are not subject to "traffic analysis" even if the message is encrypted.
- "Burner" emails with new and different email addresses every day, but managed from a single mail box. (I use this more and more. If any email address falls into the wrong hands for any reason, I just make that email address disappear.)
There are more aspects to this, but this post is a start.
Anything not clear?
Just tell me and I'll explain more.
Again, the purpose is to make discussion of delicate topics neat and orderly.
In future, perhaps move into a private discussion room here. I don't know yet.
So, are paid threads possible on this forum?
Or not?

The thread "owner" can delete off-topic posts, drunk posts, snide and nasty posts, and all the stupid posts (if he wants to).Some of the best discussions are that way.
Every post is on topic.
Every post is worth reading.
