Into classic, modern (any year picked is fine), and online auction/Ebay catagories. This was discussed before though never panned out. The net interest, topics, and responses would increase. Many do not have the time to wade through pages of posts and replies. A topic that I may enjoy or contribute to may be on page 5-6 by the end of the day. Please see Bustman's post.
What do you all think?

    Would we lowlife modern collectors be allowed in the elite collector's classic forum?

    I think each member should be assigned his own forum.

    The split's OK by me, but no pansy half-measure stuff. 1836 as the date. Everybody knows Morgans and Indian anythings are esentially modern. image The cool thing about that idea is that any news not specifically related to pre-steam coinage wouldn't be hoisted on the classic crowd. image

    What about those of us that are just attracted to shiny things of any date. We'd have to keep hopping around...

    No elite vs low life at all. Just different primary interests. Russ.... I'm still looking for MY ms 1964 half. K

    This idea wouldn't divide the posts by poster, or his (her) collecting preferences.

    Rather, the threads would be divided by topic of the thread.

    I support this idea. image

    Russ, Anyone who can generate over 20,000 posts is certainly not a "lowlife" - maybe a bit obsessive, but certainly not a "lowlife"! image

    I like the way it is set up now....Just pick the strings you want to join and ignore the rest.image

    They split the Roman Empire into the Eastern and Western Empire in AD 305. The Western Empire (Rome) fell in AD 476. The Eastern Empire (Constantinople) hung in until AD 1453.

    If you guys split this chat room into the West and Eastern Chat room, I will select the Eastern Chat room.

    That way I will enjoy it at least another 1000 years.image

    Taking the risk of sounding stupid here, you do know that PCGS has a solution for this already in place right?

    Just go to the top of the page on the right and click on the "Today" button. When that window opens on the right side is all your most recent threads that you posted to. Even if they were not posted to today, it's just a list of the last few threads that you posted to. I use this every time I log on.

    I hope this helps,

    Thats a bad idea in my opinion. Would you be willing to pay a monthly fee to have it divided that way?

    mrpaseo... thank you, yes, I know of that feature though it does not address the problem of new threads. I feel this forum is great though could be better. If people found threads that they are interested in easier, I think we would have more and better participation. Flame away image. K
