Didnt BigE ask a question?

numobri · January 23, 2003 1:52PM

OH ya,sorry bigE,I think 50% of these members are hard core,but this is a coin site,i think people are making money,hand over fist,and i think that the market is growing and will keep growing.

TomB · January 23, 2003 2:00PM

Ouch! I must be old...I think I'm number 54.

Cam40 · January 23, 2003 2:04PM

Oh I see.You dont click on the profile(sunglasses) just hold cursor over it and read the garbble at the bottom of your browser.BTW whats (tombstone,,blah blah mean? mean were doomed or something?

Re BigEs`question; How many are `serious` collectors? uh define serious...hehe.
I,m fairly serious about my coin hobby.I,d be alot more serious about it if I had more disposable income.

Its mainly a hobby to me.Not so much an investment but I dont plan to lose alot of money at it I,ll say that much.

I,m sure the hobby has had a ground-swell since the SQ and Sac programs started in `99.
Not sure how many more will come in as opposed to those already into it now.Some will drop out and others will
step in.
I guess I could see a little more interest in this hobby coming in the near future from a few more non-collectors
and used-to-be collectors.

Cam40 · January 23, 2003 2:09PM

I dont know this as fact but,Could it be said that today there are more coin collectors than there every has been in the past ever?

If not.when and where..

Wow! Greg's the eighth member! -I haven't found a lower number yet. . .

I remember the pop-up window from the old forums telling us that we had a new forum. I raced over that night and signed up.

I'm actually the 2nd registered user on this version of the forums.

We've done this before and I once posted the #1-25 members, but couldn't find it, so I did it again. Here they are.

Members 1-6 are employees of CU or test accounts
#1 Administrator
#2 No info, but highly likely a "test account"
#3 No info, but highly likely a "test account"
#4 John (computer guy at CU)
#5 No info, but highly likely a "test account"
#6 Mike (He's a CU guy, but no idea what he does)

Actual Forum Members
#7 dewb1999

I was going to ask someone about colorman3.
He had some very good posts from what I remember.Whatever happen to him....

Russ · January 24, 2003 12:22PM

There is another forum where I participate that has over 100,000 members. I'm number 575, and the first 572 were beta testers, (I was one), that all had to re-register once the forum went live. #573 is the forum developer, and #574 is some numbnuts that snuck in ahead of me.

Russ, NCNE

stujoe · January 24, 2003 12:48PM

OK, now I am curious. Gotta see my number.

Edited to add: Broke 500.
