I know this is a repeat topic but it is sad. I guess I will only check it once every 2 or 3 days, nothing ever new anymore.

Well....????
Ahh gee whiz!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
In my small town, the popular bar decided to do a complete remodel. It is now a ghost town in there. Just lost the old feel it had with the modern look.
The young ones, with their fancy smartphone friendly software, are now in charge. They will post the threads about finding the silver dime in the coinstar.

Winky, I'll always be here for you. Isn't that enough?
Thank you, that's enough for now.

I may be done buying coins for now but I'm not through with the forum yet.
I would post some lovely coins but this mac book pro just won't let me so there you are.
Thanks for all the post and information. Believe it or not I did appreciate it.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!
With the average age of the members here just shy of 100, they can't figure out the new software. For those that could, they chose not to.

I posted the thread about finding the silver dime in the coinstar. I am hardly young being an AARP member. Don't have a smartphone now and never will. Disparaging remarks don't make a person feel welcome. I've collected coins since 1965 when I was a paperboy and used to search rolls.
i think it is important to note that w/o seeing click/view counts of threads throughout the
topics, one cannot even begin to assess the success of the forum as a whole nor the
topics/threads.
i dont reply to most i read but enjoy the many i do and i click on a lot.
.
I did not search rolls in '65.
'65 was good, no seat belts, no enforcement. '67 Cougar, two door was the bomb. Girl getter. ISYN.
. I couldn't resist speaking up for the kid, when I blurted out : "An itch"
Sometimes I post really needless lame stuff like..."nice"...."beautiful coin", etc. It's not much, but I do mean it and mostly I just want to join in and be part of the scene.
sure, a lot of people do, including myself, although i keep it to a minimum as my ppd count is
still above 6 last i checked. 6 per day average for 5 years straight. oof
nice for people to see activity as it can be indicative but not inclusive.

As the world economy crashed a few times over the past 15 or 20 years , the easy money and lots of jobs have
disappeared from the US Economy. Lots of people are too busy putting food on the table and finding a roof than
putting shiney jingle into a Safe.
Of course the rich are all getting richer but they are buying things other than Coins. The ones that might be buying
Coins might not frequent these boards.
And thanks to all those who have provided coins for us to view and discuss who would never be able to swim in the deep waters of the serious monied collectors!

To the Fun show :c)
There is plenty of good threads, sometimes they just need a little bump to the top.

Just giving the forum a little of the old juice. I do stand by my change just for the sake of change though. I hate the new format, and apparently, so do most.
It strikes me as passingly odd that a member who has been here somewhat less than 18 months is essentially complaining that the good old days are gone...
Looks like OP has too much time .. only 18 months on forum but yet knows what the forum was like many moons ago
Where have all the good collectors gone.
If you mention the collectors you are interested in, we could help more. A few post regularly ATS. A few are on other forums.
This is still the best coin site on the net even if we have lost much of our lead and some of our edginess.
I was just wondering if there was another forum with the some of the past members and edginess. Things were a riot in the past, but they did get out of hand more.

Of course many of the old members are at NGC now. They've always had a really good forum but it's slower and quieter. Some would say the signal to noise ratio is higher but coin noise doesn't bother me so I hardly notice. If you count all of CoinTalk's forums they've already passed us in activity.
There are some up and coming forums as well as the four biggies.
A majority of the posts are extremely educational, some are entertaining, a few are downright nasty.

posted very few times , and have had periods of inattentiveness.
but have yet to be disappointed when returning for amusement or information. I can only hope that as the years roll on I can contribute more , until then I am thankful for those who do.

WOW - Why don't you post a topic that is new and interesting to you and see what happens. I don't read these threads everyday as work and family consumes much of my time but I find alot of very interesting point of views here. I do post on some topics that are interesting to me and I get alot of useful information as well as developed some great relationships.

Many members here lurk for a year or two before they sign up so there's a very good chance he's been here longer than you are giving him credit for.
