It used to be that the Darkside was a great place.....

...BUT hasn't it been improving lately??!!!!

We've got not only our old contributors, such as Tbirde dishing out Krause info, Newbie presenting more and more nice ship coins, Cacheman taunting us with his incredible Goetz medals and Gothic Crowns, Darkhorse dazzling us with his imagery, Aethelred always ready to good-naturedly slam the willing Green-toe, and Ajaan willingly accepting the old-fashioned fun, a Crofter's Mouse squeeking around pilfering the offering plate of all the mint red Vickies, Cosmicdebris making us all envious of his Eddie Money, Severo presenting us our recommended weekly allowance of Darkside coins, Wybrit allowing us to glance at the Royal Coin Museum, Mongoose and Spinaker showing off their latest treasures, Python with his outstanding collection of British hammered and milled shockers, Clankeye quick to snatch up all the nice Canadian toners, Luvdawgs busy ogling them, occasional sightings of the Official Yeti, random assessments by the Kat of Coins, and Ambassador Askari always leading others down the Dark path....

.....but we've been blessed with new reinforcements!!

We've got newcomers joining our ranks from the Lightside, such as MrEureka, CCRdragon, LucyBop and Nwcs, and TheBoz with his outstanding collections of cars, cats and luscious ladies, as well as esteemed collectors showing up from overseas, such as Lloyd the emminent dealer/expert from Wales, Dimitri the Gentlemanly Syracusian, and the Link-Meister Shipcoin from Israel. Furthermore, we've got a Poet Laurentiat in our midst, constantly showering us with some of the most beautiful verse this side of Coinalot.

This is a great place to be. Let the Darkness Roll On!!!!

PS: my apologies to the great contributers I've neglected to mention. There are so many. Thank you all!!!

And who, pray tell, would the Official Yeti be?

laurentyvan · November 5, 2003 6:21AM

You are the all-encompassing yeti, able to move like a will-o-the wisp, transcending all forums!

Yeti Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sure is a great Place, so many beautiful coins to look at and not worry about the GRADE.

This is an awesome place to just sit back, kick your shoes off and not worry about things. Have fun and enjoy the company is what I do here.

Nice post 1Jester.

Have you all thought about what you're going to get me for Christmas?

Speaking of yetis, I exchanged PMs with Maria (RedScorpio) today. Nice to hear she is doing fine.

You were supposed to say "Not yeti."

Bada-bing.

I'm enjoying the enjoyment of coins here. Not the constant regurgitation of the same issues elsewhere.

Yes it is! We have Yetis'o'plenty (is that Irish?), a ferocious Brit eating mouse, a green-toed hobbit, a grumpy yet boring dead king and his loyal court jester! What more could a person ask for?

Luvdawgs · November 5, 2003 9:36AM

Princesses?

spinaker2000 · November 5, 2003 9:54AM

It has been great around here, sometimes a bit slow, but mostly great post, pics and info.

I be happy!

wybrit · November 5, 2003 9:57AM

A great place to visit and stay awhile!

LucyBop · November 5, 2003 10:11AM

More Darkside for me!

Bruce · November 5, 2003 10:17AM

This is a great place to be even though I was totally passed over on the lists.

ccrdragon · November 5, 2003 9:00PM

Thanks Jester - it tends to be more civil and more about coins for the love of coins over here as opposed to the constant arguments about grades and colors and other non-coin issues over in the light!

<< <i>This is a great place to be even though I was totally passed over on the lists. >>

There is a whole list of people not on the list.

Shipcoin · November 5, 2003 9:28PM

Hey Jester!
May be I'm a Link-Meister, but I'm not from Russia, I'm from ISRAEL!!!

P.S. Sorry for my Russian accent...

cacheman · November 5, 2003 10:08PM

We even have our own village idiot who claims to be into stocks...

1jester · November 5, 2003 11:51PM

Shipcoin---OOPS!!!

I guess I deserve to eat crow for assuming.

And I repeat, once again, my regrets for not remembering to put in everybody.

Shipcoin · November 6, 2003 1:51AM

Jester!

Thanks for your post--- I mean the first one, which opens the thread! And doesn't matter what country I'm from , I'm proud to be here and I really like very much also the forum and also the gyus here (I suppose that in that context the word " gyus" includes also the ladies of forum -special thanks for the Princesse of the North for her greetings). I already learned a lot of new things and hope that will be able also to contribute!

And now I can tell you, confidentially of course

that originally I'm...yes from Russia
