Home U.S. Coin Forum

A Good Natured Tweaking of the NGC Forum....

So all this talk about how at the NGC forum there is a more serious discourse about coins to be had, and the most responded to thread is... (drumroll please) about getting free coffee mugs from NGC.

63 responses. It's even got a five star rating.

Those guys over there need coffee mugs. They need lots of coffee. Boy, what a sleepy place. Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy. Wake me up next year when someone replies to something. I've heard the NGC forum's corporate sponsor is actually Sleep Country USA. They should give out free mattress', not coffee mugs. I hear the forum moderator over there is Rip Van Winkle. The favorite band over there is Asleep at the Wheel.

Boy, what sleepy guys.

If any of you go over there, walk real quietly. Don't wake 'em up. They are dreaming about coins.

And yes, you can bet that I have started this sure-fire riot inciting thread because I didn't get a coffee mug. My loyalty comes cheap. Real cheap.

    Clankeye, actually, I think there were some other threads that received more attention - Kincoin (or whatever his name/names was/were) threads, any and all of them! image

    Kincoin wandered over there and was defeated at last by the Forces of Eternal Sleep. Never to be heard from again he was. image

  • Clankeye,

    Kincoin became Coolcoin, and now, slightly better behaved, posts as Coinholeio.

    I have to concur, it is pretty slow over on the NGC boards.

  • I may need coffee over there, but I could use a little valium over here! Or better yet, a little valium for a few select people over here!

    We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.

    First POTD 9/19/05!!

  • Hey Clank!

    Perhaps a class trip to the NGC forums for next week?

  • Dear Mr. Dragon,
    We have reviewed your thread started on the NGC forum. Unfortunately it does not fit our present needs. Please keep us informed of future projects you may have. Thank you.

  • It has come zu mein attention von a reliable source das den Kaffee Mugs sind not really Kaffee Mugs at all, but rather Koolaid Mugs!!!image Venn they all get their mugs and drinken das communal Koolaid, they believe that their slabs are every bit as Gut as ours!!!image
  • Nein, Nein, Herr Klaus. NGC ist gut für Ruhe, wann PCGS zu verrückt ist!

    I went over there while I was chillin' from this place, but it IS boring. What's life without a LITTLE controversy? But I, like most of
    the folks, am here to learn and network. Just sometimes the signals get crossed!

    I'm not actually sure I know the intent of this thread. If it's simply to state that the NGC boards is slow, then you've stated the obvious. If you're complaining that it's slow, then you can post more. If you're making fun of that site, then I guess I still don't get the intent.

    Is anyone allowed to PLONK, or is that reserved for only a few? image

  • Oh, the intent is just to rattle some cage and have some fun. Fun has been in short supply around here of late.
    What's more fun than a little good natured rivalry with the NGC forum (of which I am a member, if I don't get booted).
    C'mon EVP, settle in, put your feet up, and throw a couple barbs this way!
    We're such easy targets over here.

    braddick,

    What happend to your title,,it's blank?

  • braddickbraddick Posts: 23,973 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Dragon- my title was carjacked and is being held in the Police evidence locker for a check on fingerprints.

    -Personally I think the prints will come back to clw54- but that's only a speculation.

    Regarding this Thread? Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.

  • For the record, if I didn't think the NGC forum was a pretty cool place, I would never start a thread roasting it.
    Just in case anyone doesn't get that.

    Clankeye, how many title changes is that? You might want to save some of them for future episodes of "Good Morning Class".

    Kwai Chang Caine Clankeye, when a man drops a pebble into a shallow but noisy well it clanks a PCGS sound. When the same man drops a pebble into a deep well, one that has still waters, nary sound is made except for the resonating tone of a solid object quitely but gently tracing a wavy pattern against a placid deep pool of water. Remember my little butterfly, still waters run deep.

  • Master Mike...
    You honor me with your wisdom. I too look into the depths of the pool and ask "What time is lunch? And is it chicken, again?" These questions... troubling... are mere reflections of my soul in chaos.

    ... I wish no trouble...
    ... I seek the water of life...

    Whether to be found here, or on the NGC forum, these answers I seek will come in time.

    Master Po, aka coinguy 1, I seek not to find all the answers but only to understand the questions.
