<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 8568955, member: 15588&quot;]Recently, my coin interests have turned considerably ancient, specifically Byzantine, so I&#039;ve consequently spent a lot more time at Numisforums than I have here. I also completely missed the schism and didn&#039;t realize that it had occurred until someone posted a &quot;what happened?&quot; thread. I do still visit this forum, and, like others, I miss &quot;the old days&quot; when everyone posted on this single site. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I have really noticed is that the political battles that seemed endemic to this board over the years (I joined in 2008 and probably contributed to a few of them) have not really happened at Numisforums. Or perhaps I&#039;ve missed them? Or perhaps they just haven&#039;t happened yet? I don&#039;t know how to explain that, and I don&#039;t mean this as an accusation against anyone, but some of the deep ire I saw here many times hasn&#039;t crept into that other site.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always considered this forum as having a somewhat volatile atmosphere (not only politically, I saw some coin newcomers treated horribly) and I always really watched what I posted, even when I really wanted to say more (I probably slipped more than once, unfortunately). I don&#039;t know if many &quot;like minds&quot; congregated at Numisforums and so those issues just don&#039;t appear there, or if the previous combination of different groups here made this forum a little more flammable. Either way, this site feels a lot less confrontational now, but I can&#039;t fully explain why. That said, I miss the old atmosphere and &quot;one stop shop&quot; this place used to have.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I don&#039;t plan on leaving permanently, but I will split time between forums. Maybe someday reconciliation could occur, but it doesn&#039;t look promising.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
