But seriously, the column whatchamacallit on the right makes the forum seem to "bloggish" IMO. Maybe move it to the user cp or something? I'm getting used to it, so it isn't a big deal with me, lol, but just my two cents about the change.

My only suggestions would be for the new posts that it would take you to the first unread post of that topic. Also maybe the unanswered posts section could open in the same window. Other then that I love what you have done and also the reorganization of the topics. __________________ -north49guy Dansco 7070- 54/76 71.05% complete   02-19-2009, 01:34 PM   #5 (permalink) rlm's cents Numismatist     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 5,543 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by north49guy I love the new sidebar and all of its features.

I'd imagine that the nickels and dimes that we are chipping in isn't going to cover future costs. Just thinking out loud, but perhaps some kind of bonus section might be good, or if people want to contribute coins to cointalk, we can have a fund raising auction for either coins or some other honor on the site. This works for my synaguage (not perfectly but it does fairly well).

Ruben Well, I'm not sure about how much it costs to have the site up and running... but/ I'm sure if people who can afford it subscribed to CT it would be a huge help. it's 20$ a month, so if 5 people sign up each month.. thats 100$, I imagine that would help significantly. __________________ Shawn Canadian Small cents : 108/124 87% complete Canadian Large cents: 44/56 78% complete Canadian Small cents MS: 64/124 51.7% complete W.I.N.S# 743 ENS Club Member   02-20-2009, 05:36 AM   #9 (permalink) Arizona Jack The Lincoln-ator     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dry Heat USA Posts: 6,754 My Mood: CT is the best coin forum on the net, period. There are others, but many tend to be too "clicky " and have coin snobs. CT has developed a family, not just a random gang of posters...... What ever it takes, I am part and parcel here, I have found a home. CT has done more for me than I can ever do for it, so whatever is needed to keep this site up and running, count me in. __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   02-20-2009, 05:48 AM   #10 (permalink) mrbrklyn CEO of Brooklyn     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Brooklyn Posts: 10,110 My Mood: Blog Entries: 3 Quote: Originally Posted by snaz Well, I'm not sure about how much it costs to have the site up and running... but/ I'm sure if people who can afford it subscribed to CT it would be a huge help. it's 20$ a month, so if 5 people sign up each month.. thats 100$, I imagine that would help significantly. I think that is something like $19.99 for 6 months not 19.99 per month for 6 months, and I'm fairly certain that cointalk takes considerably more than that to run. My line at www.mrbrklyn.com cost about $200 a month to run in of itself.... for example, before any other expense.

We could donate coins and run an auction here or put them on ebay to raise funds. __________________ _____________________________________________ corn cam ( Great Iowa passtime) "Life is to short for bad wine" Viper   02-20-2009, 05:49 AM   #13 (permalink) mrbrklyn CEO of Brooklyn     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Brooklyn Posts: 10,110 My Mood: Blog Entries: 3 If it works for NPR, why not here.

I'm wondering if cointalk has 501.c or 501.e status?
