I have been reading the chipboard since it was recommended to me by Kerry and Katie. I can see the trend in the nature of the frustrations of the messengers unless change in the attitudes, rules of conduct in chipping and new systems of procurement of the chips, I can see future of the chippers towards self destruction if we don't stop now. Take stock of what is going on and we need to police ourselves before serious personalities, manipulators, hoarders, insiders chipping and all the evils and the dark motives will controls our hobby. Individually we have to refocus our objective in chipping. A new attitude in the community must prevail let the chip service do what they want no subscriber no chip server. You can stop their unscrupulous and selfish motives by going directly to a more personal and intimate trading relationship with the other members instead. Study you trading partners, go back in time find the best traders you have had before and see how they can be your contact in certain areas. For example, LAS VEGAS has a high density of casinos or Atlantic City also. Get in touch with or establish a more personal relationship in chipping with members who lives there, one or two depending on your needs members as personal provider will be much better and rewarding. Free market must bring back order to club to free itself of the problems that are plaguing it now.
