Does anybody else think this place is slowing down? Still quality stuff, but only 10-20 posts per day. Used to be much higher IMO. Cold day in h#ll before I go to the liteside (even tho I am ashamed to admit I have a Buff nickel collection).

    The brassie is for sale, and I won't be bidding. I suspect there is other interest, however. image

    This forum has definitely slowed down. Maybe it's the summer, maybe people are just burned out and taking some time off.

    Although the new shine may have worn off of this forum, it is still the best place on the internet in my opinion. I wish I had the time to post here more than I do.

    It waxes and wanes and periodically someone posts this type of question image. I think summer is a bit of a slow down, plus it's hard to maintain one's interests at the same level all the time. Heck the biggest coin purchase I've made recently was liteside--never thought I'd see that happen!

    The only time it is cool enough to sit at a computer is first thing in the morning.

    The thought of sitting at a compter when the weather records are being broken is beyond a joke.
