What shall I say? I agree. Scary as the thought might appear at first, Craig is right. Removing all investment listings might also not be such a good idea, because you might drive the less educated users into the arms of scammers because they don't have many options to choose from. I think even the most moronic user will start to wonder how 50 sites lited on the same page all are 'secret', 'unique', etc. Alternatively, maybe 'purge' the listings from time to time and throw the HYIPs out? I for one, leave the managing of TheGoldIndex to the volunteer staff and think they decided to list everyone for completeness' sake. But there is always the blacklist and the disclaimers. In the end, you'll have to weight the importance of complete information against importance of consumer protection, I guess. But I do agree witb Craig that you might not want to remove it altogether. After all, ignoring that cancer exists doesn't help much - cancer still kills. By the way, the site has become impressive in it's latest incarnation :o) Thumbs up and good luck!
