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.

Oh, and no need to mention NGC. I don't like thier forum software.

I simply skip the threads that don't interest me. It really isn't that hard.
I always wanted to use this, and now I have a reason

Most forums have moderators than can "lock" a topic
if things get too out of hand.

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.

Just what one would expect from Craiglist's List Rant & Rave,
Is that where you found it?
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.
My advice, learn to spell intelligent before you start threads complaining about a lack of intelligence.

If this isn't you answer you seek, you should just leave and not return. Thank you for enlightening us oh grand bear. I don't think anyone could have said it better.
Just too good a thread not to bump!!!!!!!!
If you haven't learned abything yet then you probably haven't been reading much.
just ignore the negetive, and absorb the positive
and you will do fine here
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.

1. It would read like a manual
2. It would be as slow and infrequently visited as the stamp forum
Now where's the fun in that, hmmm?

Live and let live.
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 preach
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
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.

60 years into this hobby and I'm still working on my Lincoln set!
simply diabolical!!
(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.

It's the millennials.
The "why why why" generation.
Looks like we have already stopped blaming everything on the GenX'ers, they
now want what us boomer's have.
Funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same.
