My observations of this forum

    I think the responses in general are the same if someone posts a expensive or inexpensive coin. If someone posts a $50k coin the number of responses will be greater than if someone posts a 63 common date Morgan. If someone makes a post with a picture of their new coin and look what I just got, most board members even if they don’t like the coin will be courteous and say something like congratulations. On the other hand if someone posts a new purchase and they are asking the forum what they think most posters will be pretty honest with feedback if they don’t like the coin.

    If you use the number sign / hash tag it makes it show up like that.

    If I had to guess the gender of someone on a coin forum, I would never guess "she"!

    Well maybe your an old hippie then but have you seen the Vams nails, like a gender reveal party tonight.
    Sorry - I thought you kinda cute. :D

    You said all that to say what?
    Just kidding - I agree - mostly.

    4) In the time that I have been here, I think people have driven some of the old time, people with deep pockets type collectors, to hide and participate less....I don’t think this helps the hobby. The people that will keep serious part of the collecting hobby going, are the ones that aspire to have more. Whether you like these peoples coins or how they assembled collections is not important, getting insight into what they did and why is....that advice is priceless, and I think many people are driving those collectors away...I for one value their posts.

    I have observed the same thing and agree with this statement. I feel the forum has lost a lot of knowledge and insight in the last 12 months or so. Some for not behaving themselves but others for the reasons identified here.

    1. I dont understand when someone responds ---"This". If someone else's post is the right answer shouldnt we just hit agree? (Im willing to bet i have said "this" atleast once)

    You might not agree with the method, but it’s easy to understand. As previously posted “ ‘This’ posted to a thread is probably far more likely to be seen than an “agree’, which might not be clicked on. So if someone wants their agreement to be seen by others, I think it makes sense to use the former over the latter.”

    Someone already posted his full name (Dell Loy Hansen) and mentioned that a Google search would answer the question.

    thank you for that info

    I more equate a "this" reply to a spot on, couldn't have said better than merely clicking on agree for something that might have been expressed a little better or with more supporting information.

    Why not do both, This/Agree? Then all the bases are covered and then all may be happy.

    No. If you really want to increase the chances for all to be happy, you need to do both AND post “+1” too. 😉

  • Okay. +1 I hope that is a good thing!

  • I usually got some nice comments when I posted $10 to $20 Civil War tokens on the Copper for the Weekend threads. The best part was when the next copper posted was some incredible rarity.

    My list were observations of my own. One was i did not "understand" stating "this" as oppossed to hitting agree. I never said it upset me or mad me unhappy. In fact, I said i am certain i have done it on at least one occassion. There are many things in everyday life we observe dont fully understand that dont bother us.

    As you will see, my post was in direct reply to another poster (BLUEJAYWAY). I had no thought or opinion about your feelings regarding “this” or “agree”.

    Many new posters are a hit and run type. Like getting their merit badge in "coin collecting" and once obtained move on to other interests.
    It is difficult to have a passion for cheap coins from these individuals as they more than not simply abandon this forum once answers are received from the collective majority here.
    Whereas the 'expensive' and scarce coins showing up here are generally from knowledgeable collectors who our time investment in is worth it as they are in it for the long haul.

    Is the assumption all the cheaper coins posted are from hit and run posters?

    That is a hit and run comment.

    Look, this forum does have great info and knowledge; the varied opinions exist as the varied motivations and goals exist.

    What part of "many" and "generally" is not understood by you?
    Yours is a hit and run assessment.

    I enjoy the forum and it is very entertaining, educational, informative, and well managed.

    Beyond that posters have diverse opinions about things based on their tastes / style (which I may find interesting or have no use for). Like cosmic background radiation lol Yes their are some “experts” (pushing their own self serving interest, BS) here (and their pathetic followers) quick to criticize - don’t let them bug you. Just be respectful / don’t take their bait and move on to more interesting thread. Some have learned good info from them.
