Anyone hear from Bruce?

Zoins · January 2, 2022 11:31PM

Bruce hasn't been on since Nov 11, which seems like a long time without a login.

I miss his posts and just want to make sure everything is ok.

Anyone in touch with him?

cameonut2011 · January 3, 2022 6:08AM

I’m sure he is fine. Laura actively posts to the CAC forums where many people know him personally . I’m sure she would have made a post if he was ill. He probably is just busy with his family and the holidays.

ricko · January 3, 2022 6:23AM

It is good to check on members periodically when they seem 'missing'.... Hope all is well with Bruce. Cheers, RickO

I get very worried when ricko goes more than an hour without posting.

SoCalBigMark · January 3, 2022 8:04AM

He was on the OFR yesterday.

olympicsos · January 3, 2022 8:32AM

@saintguru hasn't been around for the longest time & I'd love more discussion about saints on here.

bolivarshagnasty · January 3, 2022 9:30AM

IIRC, He and a forum member had a confrontation in a thread, I remember suggesting he not go.

Agree. Nov 11 was an unfortunate date and I remember the thread, when it comes up. Otherwise, I try not to think about it.

That being said, Bruce has had a thick skin and you need one to post on Internet forums.

I hope he's okay and returns in the future. I miss his posts, perspectives and coins.

vulcanize · January 3, 2022 10:18AM

Strangely was thinking of him yesterday and surprised to see this thread now.

Hope all is well.

DCW · January 3, 2022 10:31AM

I think it really turned him off when some members here disparaged him for posting his three big coins to one of threads.

Probably not so sensitive but more like being sensible and taking the higher path to just stay away from those that were getting peeved with his posting the holy trinity because not everyone gets to play in that sandbox. If D. L. Hansen had started to post his coins, would a similar response have been elicited from the members?

Sad if true.
Some members disparage for sport and Bruce must have a pretty premier filter in place by now.

Justacommeman · January 3, 2022 10:53AM

We lose a lot of contributors because of pettiness. Especially value added posters. It gets old after awhile so I can't blame them.

Notice that NEWPS threads are down significantly. There is a reason.

they had good forum software

Seems like they have started banning members there.

They will ban users, but it takes a lot more misbehaving than most any other coin forums. And imo the software ats is just as easy to use as here and easier than the one CAC is using.

It appears I am going to land on the side of being an individual that would have helped run him off

At best the holy trinity post was an inadvertent hijack, imo.

I thought about saying something but let it go.

I’m only bringing it up now as a voice that shares the opinion.

I think what could run people off is the non-OHSA compliant riding of people’s butts.

However, as a long-timer I do agree you have to just learn to live with the wannabe forum police like me.

Just to point out this, the legend market report preceded the sale. It indicated a bubble (my word) and I think the sale was one into the bubble instead of quitting the hobby over a small forum disagreement.

He, like many, adds to the forum mostly. Sorry to see him go.

I'm not entirely sure what that is, but I see it mentioned on TV shows.

Heh, that was the catalyst that finally made me check out the CAC forum. Looks like he went out in a blaze of glory. Anything less would have been out of character, I suppose. He stated (perhaps in jest) that he should start a blog. I, for one, hope he goes through with it!

Just don’t add your own comments until QDB himself has approved them!

And to redirect for the way this thread has gone, it seems a number of us have been on the receiving end of rump roasting from not only him but others.

We do have an idea of what it’s like.

The high heat can be tempered tho.

I agree fully. I think the forums are headed the way that AnkurJ's unofficial CAC forum went - there were a small residual number of members (including me), but traffic was so low that it did not make sense to continue hosting it.

I don’t have the inside knowledge of CJ’s ongoing feud with Legend but I think I would have preferred more sharing of knowledge and insight than screeds and self promotion.

From what I have seen since I rejoined the forum I would rather have Skip back here as I learned a lot from him and his manner (outside of a few political things) was very good.

If you get annoyed, just stop posting there. It takes a real drama queen to request that their account be permanently deleted. Just my opinion.
