    Hi Wazza3006,

    yes the Pin evolved from Bubwell to Loki's leadership and the PIN guidelines were slowly sorted. Bubwell established the basic rules and Loki refined them often with a consensus vote from participating members, a committee which l vaguely remember contributing to and 'The DJPIN Bible'. Initially we didn't chat so much it was more a hardcore market economy circa post GFC 2009. The DJPIN's focus was on where the markets were at given the bearish economies at that time, so it's vaguely a little historical in that the sentiment was negative and a little brutalised. Many of the original Pinners came from the Day Trading thread. Then l think the Pin evolved again around 2012 and another transformation again 2016.

    Like bubwell l'm not sure why Lok (who changed his name to yellowsum) resigned and left us so abruptly but l do know that they both gave a lot of time and effort. Lok established the 'DJPIN Rule Book' which many members contributed to.

    @Wazza3006
    Looking back when did the first awards start?

    l wear my Pineapple awards very happily we didn't have them in 2009, we had no awards back then and we didn't have our own dedicated forum either.

    'The Pins' been made up of many people that have come and gone shared and cared! but has generally been one of the best forums on HC.

    Cheers mb
