Sudden Influx of New Members?

I have seen a few new members this weekend alone, posting actively. This is great to see.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    If we think of them as people instead of members maybe a lot fewer will be

    while I tend to agree with this, past experience also says that there are quite a few reasons why it is a bad thing. I'm sure that will be made clear as time passes. nonetheless, welcome to the NutRanch.

    Are you thinking there may be a few alt ID's in the mix?

    They're able to buy coins, silver and gold again.........everything is f...a...l...l...I...n...g.

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    No doubt why some still lurk in the woods just absorbing as much learned information as we can, before the inevitable.

    Thank you sparky64. Have wanted to chime in before but felt very afraid. As O'neil said in Platoon, " I got a bad feelin' on this one. I don't think I'm gonna make it outta here". Maybe I'll be in the minority and stick around for awhile.

    Thank you ProofArtworkonCircs. Glad to be alive and contributing. I've admired many forum members for their knowledge and wit for some time, and the vast amounts of knowledge they are willing to impart to relative newbies. Thanks to all.

    Influx normally occurs with new mint product releases, or a PCGS forum giveaway. Must be the new baseball mounds. Welcome newbies!

    I'll do what I can to share my vast wealth of knowledge. All 4 years of it.

    Thanks for the welcome.

    That's a shame you waited so long. Think of all the cool stories, reports, etc. we've missed during the looong lurking period.

    I lurked for years , and enjoyed the humor. My subsequent years here have proven to be testy, by a few.
    Would name names, but it serves no useful purpose. Please enjoy yourselves… ONE and ALL.

    Welcome all people. I hold no grudges. They're way too heavy.
