    I've used it, but will warn you that do not expect a perfect product. I'm using the vb modification of ICO and just like any other modification, expect it to have its ups and downs.

    It will work just as the product says, but eventually, the content is going to run out. If you want to get it, get it now while it is still early.

    And it did increase my boards activity, but it is far from perfect.

    I don't regret buying it.

    Well, I mean user names...

    People have actually searched for certain user names and those were created through ICO on my board. I followed the search to several other forums..it is safe to assume that they are all using ICO....


    This is similar to an MLM product..only the ones on top get to benefit.....


    Trust me, it will run out.....

    Wait, when I say run out, I don't mean it that the content will run out.......lol.

    What will happen to the content is that it will be used by other boards taking away any efforts at it being unique content that has not been spidered.

    In this sense, it will run out because you will get the same content that Yahoo API has, but also the same content posted on maybe 5 or 6 boards that are also running ICO.

    It is happening right now with my board and a few comments and user names and it is only going to get worse. Eventually, you will probably find 10 boards with the same user names and content.....lol.....

    And ICO will become a memory that had 15 minutes of fame....lol..

    Then it will be time to hire paid posters buy pay them under the table....
