Can anyone suggest how to start a new hub? I see if a person requests one he has to nominate a person who is already a leader on another website. The companies I want to bring on aren't even listed on most other bullboards and the ones which are, nobody on Agoracom follows them.

Anyone can request a new Hub:

1. Search for your desired company by its symbol in the Search window at the top right of the Agoracom page.

2. If a Hub does not exist for your company, a page saying this will be displayed:

Agoracom currently does not have a stock hub for 'smd'. Click below to request a new stock hub.

Go ahead and request the stock hub. I believe the initial requester will automatically become a Hub Leader.

On another note, I think the reason element and NorthLion remain Hub Leaders is because there doesn't appear to be a 'recent participation' component or some such in the ratings system. Also, I think NorthLion was the SGR Hub's founder. Perhaps a point or five should be taken off every week there is no post on the Hub from an alias, or something like that, to ensure that the leaders are active participants? It's just a thought...
