Thread: Is ROL growing during this downtime?

2. ROL as it occurs in reality.

- this depends on trader or whatever they are using to make the money (they were never that clear on it). If that part is operational (and forget about the offices, they are there to support the members and small businesses), then that money is being made, and the money exists to back up (1).

But i CAN see how nobody withdrawing for this period throws in a rather large spanner as the system was built on greed: that people cannot help but put their finger in the cookie jar. The jar has been closed now for quite a while! I think this is the point that was trying to get itself out earlier. Adster ive persuaded myself at this point that you were right; its not likely to be the case that up-to-date ROL in virtual reality is sat in an a mega-account waiting to be paid out, because of the growth (though see below). However, at this point we would all be happy to go back to where we were, so the point is kind of mute.

Last i heard was Bryan identified a trader to BON. If he is making money then its just whether he can make it fast enough to keep up with us not withdrawing (hopefully someone sees what i am trying to say here! )

Personally i dont give a flying tube of glue if its growing or not, right now i will more than settle for the money owed to me in picpay!

Amen !

I would not be able to explain it better - especially the part with the glue

Agreed kiter . People have not cared in the past where or how their ROL money was coming from , as long as it grew every time they turned on their computer .
This reassured them until the withdrawal process was attempted . Unfortunately , the system could not cope with everything thrown at it and hence the current situation .
Most Pipsters don't care where their money comes from , as long as they can get to it .
