Fidelity Investor Community (FIC) is a closed/private, invitation-only group & its rules are different from other open/public groups. One limitation is that any materials posted at the FIC cannot be linked elsewhere (as membership to the FIC will be required to open those).
I have noticed (4/17/23) that this YBB website links (https://ybbpersonalfinance.proboards.com/ ) were removed by a moderator from almost all posts from March 2023 onwards and the replacement text inserted was “…please feel free to direct message me for more details”. No alerts or notifications were received for this moderator editing. I have asked the FIC for clarification.
FWIW, this Website has open read-access for all, but postings are limited to members (and that has been closed, 10/8/21- ). It is not selling any product or subscriptions (I myself don’t like posts elsewhere with links that open to subscription pages). Clearly, some materials originate here, and I have linked to those originating materials, as I would expect for anyone else who uses those materials. I will not start by setting a bad example by posting those materials but not linking to those. So, the nature postings will change at FIC to mostly chit-chats. It isn't useful for me to spend lot of time to create exclusive content for the FIC that I cannot even link elsewhere.
BTW, some materials here develop from the postings elsewhere, and those websites are also linked here. That is only fair.
Edit/Add: The response from the FIC was that promotion of personal content is not allowed. That FIC's view of the archival/reference content of this website was disappointing.
