Just read through this topic, and wow I was really expecting more data on actual manipulation. So it is in fact non existent?
Since the topic here shifted to why they are doing what they are, I am going to give my opinion about this.
It's a fucking trolling contest.
Both campaigns, the one managed here by yahoo, and their local campaign are just 2 middlefingers raised in bitcointalk's face.
This is some kind of twisted revenge for bitcointalk's banning of the YoBit campaign.
They used the freedom of speech rule here on the forum to bypass the bann against YoShit signatures, and to make a point. "We can attract a lot of posters/spammers/traffic to our own forum".
I don't believe their forum will ultimatively become a serious contender in the crypto world, it's just a way of fucking with our local community.
I wish them good luck tho, because it doesn't seem like this will make any difference, for them, or for us down here. They just got a few BTC's lighter
