<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1941143, member: 19065&quot;]I guess in offering new features it serves to attract continued or re(new)ed interest, perhaps even inspires some to contribute, but do the features confuse by offering too much of the same thing and do the new features offer the same level of interaction we already have with threads and the long discussions that take place in them? </p><p><br /></p><p>More options for doing what was already being done is sort of like trying to fix that which was not broken. Charmy&#039;s threads are simple, elegant and well composed. It&#039;s the standard format, and she uses it to maximum effect while it&#039;s true most others&nbsp; under utilize by not filling with information, links and carefully edited and clear images of the subject matter. She and a host of others (such as the old Clinker Trivia threads) have been used to regularly inform and attract users to the profiled coins and their personal interests and experiences, spur conversations and interaction through thread oriented conversations. </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that these &quot;new&quot; features are modeled a lot like &quot;social media&quot; sites, and serve less to communicate, share questions and have conversations, rather more about just showing something off, hitting a mindless &quot;like&quot; or &quot;rate&quot; star icon and fumbling along to the next shiny thing that distracts those of short term attention spans. Whereas threads have most of the information on the initial page when started by an OP, these new features have separate tabs for information and gallery photos, or an assortment of images that can only be viewed as a group in thumbnails, and others not able to be enlarged for greater clarity and scrutiny when it comes to grading. I just hope the multitude of ways to share isn&#039;t just spreading whats already pretty thin, even thinner still. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll certainly give what&#039;s new a try and help test drive the features hoping they take off successfully.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
