Home U.S. Coin Forum

Other Coin Forums ?

Are there other, more intelegent, coin forums ?
This place is inhabited by too many yo-yos.
I haven't really learned anything, since most of the
informed posters that can formulate a thought and
then write it intelegently have "left the building".
Sure, there are a few good post here and there, but they
get burried with the floatsum and jetsum.
I want a forum that talks about classic US coins only,
where off topic nonscence is not tolerated.
No tokens. (sorry, but there are just TOO MANY)
No modern bullion
No ebay/ paypal cry baby stories.
NO, "my dog died " etc.
No tin foil hats required.
And no ebay talk- you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.
I know several forum that wont allow any links to eBay.

If so, please link me.'
Beam me up Scottie, there is no intellgent life down here.

  • Have you ever thought about starting your own forum? You could make your own rules and kick out those that fail to follow your rules.

    I simply skip the threads that don't interest me. It really isn't that hard.image

    Does this place even have any moderators ?
    I've yet to see any.
    Most forums have moderators than can "lock" a topic
    if things get too out of hand.

    In any Forum , one may find what one seeks. However,

    As there are many different kinds of people on a Forum,

    one must allow for a degree of variety in discussions. To

    find a Forum 100% devoted to your own particular interest,

    would in all probability be a Forum composed of one. Finally,

    the word intelligent, has two Ls.

  • Did you know there are signs at the edge of the Grand Canyon saying something like "Watch out for edge, you may fall!". Do you call your lawyer when you trip over your loose shoelace when shoping at the supermarket? What is this world coming to?

    You sould like someone who expects the world to revolve around them.

    People must take responsibility for their own actions. If you open threads that waste your precious time you must try to figure out how to avoid them in the future. (hint: if PayPal, eBay, dog died, OT, or Token appears in the title, move on without opening...)

    I am planning on setting up some forums in about 6 weeks. Please save yourself some time and don't bother to check them out. Discussions involving what is important in our follow coin collector's lives will be welcomed and encouraged.

    I think this place is pretty sweet considering the fact that it's free, full of knowledgable people (more than you give credit for), and offers information on a variety of different topics.

    If you haven't learned abything yet then you probably haven't been reading much.

    Have you ever thought about starting your own forum? You could make your own rules and kick out those that fail to follow your rules.

    Now that's a idea you should consider.
    Start your own forum with YOU as the only member.
    Since you're the internet forum's most intelligent person, there's no one else that can meet your intellectual expectations.

  • I'd just bet that if there were a forum out there as you describe,



    1. It would read like a manual

    2. It would be as slow and infrequently visited as the stamp forumimage



    Now where's the fun in that, hmmm?image
  • Good idea to start your (the OP) own forum.....when noone meets your requirements, then you and all your friends can hang out. But wait.....you wouldnt be able to complain.....that takes all the fun out of it, doesnt it! Seriously, start your own forum and let us have this place as it stands. After posting that, you MAY have to start your own.

    The OP needs to recognize that he is trashing his credibility. He will succeed in getting a rise out of members a few times. Eventually he will just be ignored as background noise.

  • This place works great without moderation. You can't please everyone. This is the only forum on the web that I visit without any real moderators and I think it regulates itself rather well. If you don't like a topic, simply don't click on it.

    You should have expected, and I am sure did expect, to get beaten-up for starting this thread.

    This is a free internet forum.

    Some great people post here, some clueless people post here.
    You will never get a free board to zero in on an issue or a topic like you have described.
    Ain't gonna happen...sorry.
    Stick around---try to ignore the yahoo's (I know I know...practice what you preachimage ), and participate
    in only the threads you desire. Pass on the rest.
    If you don't want to participate in the "I have an ingrown toenail--post a Barber threads", or the "Where
    For art thou threads" don't.

    Also understand that there are some TOP SHELF brown nose people here.
    Not many thankfully, but enough to have created a name for themselves....lemmings.
    Don't have to go far to see that, re-read this thread and it is crystal clear.
    It all depends on your character. Do you need to be stroked by some of the members here,
    or can you handle being yourself and seeing through the cr@p and smile to yourself?
    Remember - You CAN NOT compete with them oh grand and wise COALPORTER image

    This thread will now die because looking in the mirror is hard for most.
    See. I need to keep telling myself...practice what you preach, but it's soo hard.
    I grew up in the streets of Brooklyn and enjoyed...in fact thrived on abusing brown nose people....
    It's not my fault- I am just a product of my environment.

    Take what's here to use ... contribute what you can to make it better place ... learn to accept that some things will not
    (or can not) change ... or move on. But don't whine about it ... it's the kind of thing you abhore in your opening post.


    This would all be funny to me if it wasn't kind of sad as well.

    After reading what I am about to post, I am not sure I should do it ... but I will anyway.


    How old are you Coal?

    You don't have to answer but I am genuinely interested.

    The reason I ask age, is I have run across three relatively intelligent younger people (early 20's) in the last
    year who seem to believe (or act as if) the world would be a better place if only their rules/way was followed.
    In one case, the young man was brighter than most, and probably would have been very successful within our
    company/on my team/in our industry, but he absolutely could not stay within a loose, yet reasonable set of
    guidelines. "Should do it this way", "can't work that way" ... yada, yada, yada. Sure, there were a few constructive
    ideas in all that "my way" talk ... but after a little over a year, I was glad he quit.

    There are people from all walks and ages that are like this, but they usually are not very intelligent. Belligerent? ...
    well that's another story.





    NOTE: For any others reading this that are in their 20's (since I kind of targeted that group) ... please do not take
    offense. As an employer and a citizen (and a parent of teenagers and a 20-something), I have also been very happy,
    and pleasantly surprised by many in your generation. I have shared, taught, AND learned things.
