<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3169682, member: 92655&quot;]I’ll add this. For three years previous to my introduction here, I participated in an over the Hill, middle aged former guitar hero site. A very lively and all encompassing group. The site was set up almost identical to this. Talk about discussions that can get technical..... I was more active there than I am here. It was a great place to keep up on advances in music gear and to rehash old war stories. In short it was (critical word) a fun and enlightening place.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe 12-18 months ago the place became a haven for a young, cocky and demeaning new crop of guitar hero’s. The tenor of the discussions turned against those of us from “back in the day”. The only forum rules were no political and no religious references whatsoever. It simply became a rude and intolerable place. The older (and dues paying) membership began to fade away. I left in February and despite constant emails from forum members and staff, I’ll not return.</p><p><br /></p><p>The tenor of this place is in fact quite amorous and I appreciate that it is expected behavior. Quite the opposite of the behavior expected of members on that guitar forum. And I only draw the analogy here because what I see happening at CT is more of a nurturing and pleasant experience. One closely monitored for proper etiquette. One where a rabid hobbyist like myself can rub shoulders and can engage in conversation with true numismatists without fear of feeling less of value than those more learned than myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, just thought I would share that. I been in a harsh forum environment and it ain’t fun. I truly enjoy what happens here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
