[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 4850018, member: 1765"][B][/B] I probably joined out of curiosity after having participated in the CU forum for a little while, but even way back then it was referred to as "Sleepy Hollow". I pop in to see if anything is going on every few months, but, yeah, it's dead. Overhauling their forum software several years ago hastened their demise, as it caused problems. Another thing I think was working against them was an overly partitioned group of forums. The Coin Community Forum seems to belie that, however, since it is by far the most unusable software, has too many sub-forums, and is more visually unappealing than the Special Olympics commemorative dollar and yet is somewhat busy. When I migrated VAMWorld from Wikispaces to the current platform, I wanted it to be the opposite of that -- simple and clean. Granted, the topic is already a bit narrow. VAMWorld has been busier than the NGC forums for quite some time. Facebook also has many groups, but it's not a great platform. Too hard to find stuff, posts are randomized, rather than shown in a predictable order, and if you start reading a post and refresh, you may never be able to find it again. I don't know what NGC's solution would be. They'd basically be starting over with yet another coin forum where there may not be the need for one.[/QUOTE]
