<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 615099, member: 7638&quot;]I visit CU and CT everyday, and enjoy both. There are very knowledgeable people on both forums, but I prefer CT for its more relaxed feeling. PCGS being the owner of the CU site, it seems that the numismatic &quot;industry&quot; is often the subject of threads, which I find gets tiring pretty quickly. Also, so many new threads are posted everyday that one I may have been watching vanishes to page 5 overnight (maybe I just don&#039;t read the exciting threads!).&nbsp; Also, the PCGS owners will only tolerate but so much criticism of their operation.(they used to poof any thread that so much as mentioned CAC).&nbsp; Also, two highly regarded numimatists- Laura Sperber (Legend) and Mark Feld- have been banned by the shadowy moderators. I don&#039;t know why- if you mention it you&#039;ll be banned too!&nbsp; Roger W. Burdette left not long ago because he was disgusted by all the name calling and bullying. Several long time members have left because of other intererests.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Another of my interests is numismatic fraud (as in fighting it), and I find that when I post here about some auction of fakes on eBay more interest seems to be generated, whereas on CU it drops to the basement pretty quickly- even a thread about fake PCGS slabs being auctioned here in the US. There seems to be a &quot;head in the sand&quot; approach to the numismatic crime wave about to crest on PCGS (again, I don&#039;t think the site owners would take kindly to a comparison with the steps NGC has taken, or DLRC, to combat slab fraud).I don&#039;t mean to sound critical, these are just some observations of mine. Personally, I&#039;d like to see some more back and forth among the groups, posting of links to each others&#039; threads, encouraging an exchange of knowledge and ideas-- what these sites are supposed to be about.
