OK, I'd like to respond to some of the posts here.
Let's take the easy one first. I have not invested anything in UFUN, nor would I. It's not the type of investment I prefer, -- even if it were legit, I have no interest in currency arbitrage, which is essentially what UFUN would have been if it were legit.
As you know and have pointed out, we normally indicate sponsor threads by including the word "Sponsor" in the thread title. It was entirely my oversight that that did not occur with UFUN. There are lots of reasons (broken foot, trip to Bangkok, couple of hospital visits, trip to U.S., U.S. business required a huge amount of attention over the past few weeks), but no excuse. I should have done it and did not. I apologize for that and will be more attentive to it in the future.
No, trubrit, I wasn't trying to justify anything. I was trying to explain to the readers what happened. More information often leads to increased understanding of a situation. As I said, I have invested nothing in UFUN.
I think that it's an interesting and good idea that I indicate when I make a post on behalf of a sponsor. (Yes, there are people who are computer illiterate and ask UM to do that for them.) How would you all prefer that I do that? Some sponsors don't like the "Udon Map Welcomes XXX as a Sponsor" intro. One approach would be to put at the end of such a post something like, "Posted by Udon Map on behalf of and at the request of the Sponsor" in a different color. I'm certainly open to other suggestions, too.
