Couldn't agree more. Though I do wish more people would speak up, even occasionally. There is a tremendous pool of talent here, with not only fantastic numismatic knowledge, but a breadth and depth of experience in most facets of life. I've enjoyed all the snippets the regulars have shared, and I'd like to hear more from the rest as well.

The forum is a great place to hang out, chat with old friends, make new friends, learn and be educated by some of the best collectors around.

It's my #1 forum and I check in several times each day, but have been watching tennis for the last 2 weeks so haven't been posting as much as I might otherwise have done. :dodgy:

There's a sizeable 'core' group of dedicated regular posters, and they really keep things moving along. It would be great to see some of the 'silent' members posting, but maybe they are just a bit shy. We don't have any real rat-bags or trouble makers, so there's not much moderation required.

Differences in opinions are what makes the world interesting. It would be pretty boring if everyone thought exactly the same about everything. There would be no need to discuss anything and all we could do is agree with everything anyone did say.

Thanks to everyone for all the contributions made during the last year and I hope that it continues to flourish. Long live The Australian Coin Forum!!

A huge "Thank You" to Kathryn and Mark for giving us a new 'coinees' home.

I lurked throughout SS's forum and posted sporadically on the last one. I feel comfortable posting on this one. I'm not as well-versed as most of the posting giants, but I have my moments.-John

hey John what is SS forum?

triplewitch · September 06, 2013, 11:36:37 PM

That was the second predecessor to this forum. SS (Secret Squirrel) ran it, we paid to be in it. He disappeared one day, and the forum was gone for awhile, I suppose because he didn't pay the bill for the server. It's not clear exactly what happened. Most of us transferred to the last forum, the predecessor to this one. That's water over the dam, and I wasn't intending to restart that discussion.-John

Yeah, probably a can of worms best left unopened. Though a very large amount of awesomeness vanished with the forum. Fortunately we're in a better place now.

If anyone can get Peter emu66 Pra posting back here again that would make me happy. Anyone talk to him? Ring him up and poke him.

Triggersmob · September 07, 2013, 09:35:09 AM

I'm sorry that I don't post more, but I do read a lot. I am more interested in world coins, than just Aussie coins (please don't hate me). I would love to see more world coin pictures and discussion. This is definitely an "Australian Coin" forum and not an "Australian" coin forum. I enjoy being part of it though, and you guys make me laugh.

I greatly enjoy my daily dose.!! :wavemulticolor:
