Dear PCGS message board user:
As you are probably aware the PCGS message boards have gone downhill in the
last few months. The good coin talk that we all learned from has been
replaced with personal feuds, submission results, talk about modern pocket
change, dealer bashing, look at this Ebay auction, pro-PCGS babble that is
orchestrated from inside the company, shameless Set Registry promotions, and
off-topic posts that go unchecked by the administrators.
If you are as tired of this as I and many others are there is good news. The
NGC message boards http://boards.collectors-society.com are full of coin
talk. None of the junk that has ruined the PCGS message boards. They are
filled with insightful coin discussions and input from the NGC staff and
expert graders. Most of the knowledgeable posters from the PCGS message
boards have moved over to the NGC message boards.
Come visit us, unless you like talking about how many points a 2002(d) State
Quarter in PCGS MS66 should get in the Set Registry or enjoy the personal
attacks on fellow forum members and dealers.
Sincerely,
Fan of NGC

Interesting signature line in that eMail.

More dumb members like me for me!

As for me, I frequent all three and enjoy all of them. There are some of things stated that I don't particularly go along with on all forums, and just like in "real life", I let most of it go in one ear and out the other and try not to get my hackels up.
This just leaves me with one question...when all the knowledgable people (of which, apparently I am not one) leave, do I have to start collecting state quarters?

All the feuds are entertaining. More ANGER!!!!!!!!

posting exclusively across the street, but it's far too early to write them off.
There has been an improvement since the darkest days in March. With luck
there will be at least a partial return of most of those who left. While the
banned members are unlikely to regain their old user names and post counts,
and no doubt some would understandably be unlikely to return, even they
could post.
The fact remains that this site has more members, more experience, and more
interesting topics than any other site on the web.

"How do you tell politely the stupid posters to stay on the PCGS forum?"
I read all three AND RCC. You can sort the stuff you want to read from your version of drivel and keep learning without having to chose one over the other.

Yep.
<< <i>Unfortunately, the post has some truth to it. >>
Yes, shamefuly, it does
change, dealer bashing, look at this Ebay auction, pro-PCGS babble
I enjoy seeing submission results, i love modern pocket change, if the dealer deserves bashing then Bash away, the Ebay police here are fantastic, and i only buy ngc Because they are cheap and i crack them and get them properly Graded by the # 1 grading service Pcgs

A clear cut example

Trailer trash immaturity.
I don't see the need to "convert" -- why should I not be on both, should I desire? Many of my friends are active on both. I actually am registered there and do check the NGC forum from time to time (when I have time), but their equivalent of the Dark Side is a pale shadow of the one here. In any case, I don't have the time to work two or three boards. I have to have time for a life too.
Come on over ... to The Dark Side!

Wow greg etc. are really ramping up their efforts....
Actually, though I could care less, there isn't much action over there and I don't have time to
read ALL the coin boards, anyway.
Its just another one of those children that has to "announce" their departure.........Ken
I've seen many postng on both boards. Lucy has 4936 posts at NGC in the past 3 weeks, would have been more, but she's now posting on both boards- Just Kidding.
What reputation? To tell you the truth, I dont know how they stay in business! The other side is as dead as their tables at LongBeach!
<< <i>Mrah! Interesting....... >>
Good to see you've made it back to 2003, only two more years to go. Let us know if you find anything else interesting you'd like to bring back to life!
.....that is unless they offer me a BU 1909S-VDB, then I might reconsider.

The OP is a darksider and is still a prolific poster on the darkside.
NGC doesn't have anything to offer as far as I'm concerned.
It is funny how the more things change the more the stay the same. It it also reminds me what a tool Ken (ksteelheader) was
Unfortunately, every message board eventually sinks to the level described in the OP until the moderators step in.
A successful message board must be made up of people that WANT to participate and respect the rules along with others.
