A while ago someone posted a link to the site that mirrored the old Motly Fool website format. Does anyone still have that link?

Just curious. Is Shrewd a safe place to visit? I considered it at the time of the fall of the Motley Fool but was concerned about it at the time, so I stuck with the converted product.
Shrewd’m is exceptionally safe. All requests are https (SSL) and the login emails are only used for the purpose of helping members with a lost password, or for authors/readers communicating with each other with the “Privately email (author)” feature when replying to a message board post. There has never been even one marketing email sent to any of the members in the 2.5 years that Shrewd’m has been running.

OK. I went ahead and joined. Any suggestions on good topic areas to hang out on? I already recognize some oldie but goodies … LBYM, Retirement Planning etc.
The two most active boards are Berkshire and US policy. Metar gets a few, and look for Posts in the Vanguard or something like that. Gives a nice smattering of lightly travelled boards.

You can find the most active boards at shrewdm.com by clicking “Best Of” (if any board is taking most of those posts, you can temporarily bypass it on Best Of by clicking the customize icon on the Best Of page). Some of the active boards other than what Goofyhoofy suggested are Mechanical Investing, Retirement Investing, Index Investing, Falling Knives, and many of the main boards have dedicated authors such as Google and many others.

Even though it was a bit archaic, and could have used some minor upgrades; I sure do miss the old site compared to this current site.

The old site structure exists at Shrewdm.com along with many posters from that era.

Shrewd’m has a very long tail of investing boards with the top 10 very active with regular authors, and the top 2-3 extremely active. Its use grows about 30% each year. Use Best Of to see the popular boards The best of Shrewd'm noting that the US Policy board alone often has over 100 posts a day but you can remove any board from the Best Of list by clicking “Customize”.

Some quite good conversation going on about the Venezuela issue, and what it might portend for the future, for oil investors, for energy future, how it might be handled, etc. Some of it is even without the usual partisan rancor. Also showing up on the MeTAR board there, FWIW.
