Seems the popularity in this hobby is certainly growing. I must admit, I am a newcomer and I hope it stays under the radar but I was able to find out, why not others. Plus, I read posts about people MSing with low salaries or even college kids; certainly all income groups are attracted to this opportunity.
http://www.google.com/trends/explore...red%20Spending I have "plans" and an Excel sheet detailing all of my future spending/liquidation strategies. So far, I've had to pull 3 methods from said sheet :( |

Lazy/passive MS is dying somewhat. Otherwise it is about the same.

Can we merge this thread into one of the other 437 "sky is falling" threads?

Wasn't that about the same time this forum was created as an offshoot of Miles Buzz?

Seriously. Isn't there an OFFICIAL "sky is falling" thread?

This is not a "sky is falling" thread. This is in regards to the rapid increase in "Manufactured Spending" as it becomes more of a discussion amongst more and more people as illustrated by Google trends.
Take a look at some other popular hot topics ...like the rise and (current) fall of the good old VRs. |
VRs may have 'died' but RLs(with different variations now) have immediately replaced it. It's just a matter of finding the stores that wil take CCs for them. It's all good.

Ssssssshhh!

By the nature of our game, if it gets widespread it will be removed. If MS is ethical and good, we should (and human nature tends to want to) spread it to people we like/approve of/care for. The sharing of results in the dying of... Making us at a loss for being able to share our systems with others. You can MS a fortune, and I know many of us can live off MS alone. That kind of ability to share a few secrets to a stranger/loved one and take someone out of hard times or off the streets... That's definitely power. Maybe at the end of the day that's what we're after, the power and control. On the other hand, maybe MS is bad and we're just brats. I've been thinking about what the Blue Cash really represents lately; to me it kind of represents entitlement, a belief that we have a right to MS. We're not committing fraud, but if there was a legal version of it... Wouldn't it look quite like MS? |

There are and there have been many topics that Google Trends doesn't track. You need to get more familiar with the internetz. You basically found something to support your theory as to why you as a newbie are having a hard time.

Not really, RLs are not available almost everywhere like VRs were at CVS. There's plenty of areas where you can't find them (like mine).
