[QUOTE="Harry G, post: 7655226, member: 105282"]I've had similar experiences with them. To be honest, the owner seems obsessed with selling his stock; every post I've made on there asking if a coin is genuine or not seems to have him say "Well if you buy from Forvm then the coins are genuine", or something similar. I mean, they probably are genuine, but people aren't going to buy from you just because they use your forum. Forums are free and, while users are encouraged to donate, nagging them will get you nowhere. The first step to getting donations/sales is that the user has to enjoy being on a forum, which is where he has sadly failed. I've even had nasty personal messages from him because I hadn't bought anything. He even put restrictions on my account, and changed my flair to "parasite" (or something like that) in Latin. I stopped using Forvm because of his toxicity, and moved onto Coin talk, which I'm pleased to say is much less restrictive in what you can talk about, and generally is a lot nicer to everyone, especially new collectors. It's also a lot more active in terms of users, and is also more up to date in design. I still have a gallery on Forvm, but barely use it any more. If Coin talk were to have a gallery feature, Forvm would become obsolete. Sorry if this has become a bit of a rant. I just want to share my experiences with Forvm[/QUOTE]
