New AF Board Member: Nominations Open to Saturday 19 Oct 2013

Je ne savais pas que tu etait bilingue.

Why don’t all 3 candidates give us their platform? How do they expect to moderate the board. Is it a power trip for them to take out the big eraser and delete comments or do they have a more laissez faire attitude? Will they try to encourage more discussions by initiating threads? I don’t think it’s a good idea to give any of the 3 a blank check.

Un petit peu.

i guarantee you s2k is going to get to 15k posts in a year or so and then start his own forum/site/business and get all the newbs to go there

Actually, that is a good point. AF probably gets a ton of traffic because of this one guy who obsessively answers all the CFA questions. He does it for free too. If s2000 one day says “hey guys, starting from now, I will only post at s2000CFA.com”, you can bet that all the noobs will head on there…

I think “obsessively” is a bit strong, don’t you? Also, I don’t answer all of the CFA questions: merely a lot of them.

I’ve already contacted CFA Institute: they have strongly advised against me having a url that contains “CFA”.

If having me as a board member will cause problems, please remove me from consideration.

no offense meant at all. i think what you do is great. just something to think about

None taken.

I appreciate that.

That’s exactly how I interpreted it.

And plus every time exam results are released, that’s like an instant several hundred AF point boost for s2k.

Welcome to AF, s2000m, conspiracy theory capital of the CFA world…

As if anybody cares.

You are causing AF point inflation! Soon my Schweser water bottle will be worth less! S200 I beg you, stop debasing the currency!!

No good deed (or several hundred) goes unpunished.

Agreed. He only does this four times per year. Blake is annoying all year long.

Isn’t his heavy post count all the more reason for board nomination? If he’s driving web traffic, that will surely accrue returns to shareholders.

I thought I was joking when I said Blake McCallister had gotten released early for having sex with a BART seat. Judging by his recent absence on this board, it looks like he may actually still be incarcerated.

I don’t think s2000 is annoying. He is very helpful in the CFA discussions and his responses are likely a driver of AF traffic. I believe this to the extent that I think he could start his own website. To clarify my earlier comment, I am not accusing him of plotting to steal AF noobs, even if I think he could.

Numi, don’t steal my jokes. It’s against the CFA CoE.

Edit: I don’t think anyone seriously cares about S2k’s post count. If anyone actually does, they should be banned for being a douchebag by the new boardmember(s).

I feel like were getting some productive conversation in the water cooler today…especially with excel type questions…just sayin.
