You expected a federal regulator's beta site to be better than "dull"? Actually, I expect the site will attract every manner of whack-job out there with a real or perceived ax to grind. The Bureau will have a challenge finding a pearl of wisdom in a heap of drek.

So did I. Gotta keep an eye on this incipient mega-regulator.

With that big shield - I rather expected the theme song from Dragnet to begin when I open the page! Yes, I signed up too. Need to know what's going on.

Wonder how much they paid Ron Howard to narrate their little presentation?

I signed up too, so does that mean all they are going to have is a bunch of whack-jobs and bankers following them? Or would those two groups be considered the same?

Did you read the three examples of what the bureau is designed to address? Not one item is something that could be corrected by additional regulation.

And poor Karen... any bets that poor Karen didn't have the common sense to say, hmm, this doesn't feel right so I don't think I will sign and walk away?? I am guessing not...

Another perfect example of increased regulation and costs to the bank and borrower because someone wasn't doing their job watching the rouge brokers.

It might just be me, but did anyone else notice that the writing on the new site appears to be at about 3rd grade level?

The comments are great! Reading them is like a train wreck that you can't look away from.

They can't be happy with all of the comments. Someone calling himself Blunt Reply is giving he!! to all the whiners.

Don't miss the CFPB facebook page too.

Walden - see the link two posts above you.

If this website is an example of what we are going to see from the CFPB, Lord help us all.

Sorry - I just didn't scroll down far enough - all I could see were blank pages where videos are apparently supposed to be.

You should have saved yourself while you could. Mama Bear's right....you can't help trying to read it all! And to think there's some poor thing at CFPB that's tracking it.

Well at least they had a "fun, busy day." When he said something about "rounding up a few of our staffers," I had a RESPA flashback.

I don't know much about this rounding up process, but are rodeo references the hip new thing now? Anyone know any other terms I could incorporate into my audit reports?
