I give Asicminer credit... When it's dead, it's really dead... I believe the ActiveMining thread is still alive and kicking, even though it should have died a long time ago... It's a fine example of "The same thing people on Bitcointalk do each time someone runs away with their coin--post stuff on the internet."
Could also be due to the fact that people investing in ActiveMining were more naïve... I don't know. The whole ordeal with AM was developing over a long time and things were going downhill in December 2014, I believe.
