Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1446287, member: 112"]The subject of different forums always comes up every now and then. And when it does, it always reminds me of its similarity to the title of this thread - which is better ? It's a question that can never be answered, whether you are asking about which TPG is better, or which forum is better. And the reason it can never be answered is because the answer depends on who ask and because none of them better, they are just different. Nonetheless, answers and responses to either question can be just as varied and the discussion just as heated - because everybody has their favorites. I was a member, and still am, of both the NGC and PCGS forums since before Coin Talk even existed. And I was a member of other coin forums long before that even. Forums that don't even exist anymore. In fact that's partly why Coin Talk was created, because those forums don't exist anymore. How many that are members here have even heard of, let alone remember, that Coin World once had a coin forum - before the NGC or PCGS forums existed ? I can think of 3 or 4 people who can do that - that's it. How many can remember rec.collecting.coins, which is older than all of them, besides me ? Again, I can think of 3, maybe 4. The point is, coin forums, in whatever form they take, are communities. And just like any community anywhere, they are all different, each and every one. But yet none of are better, or worse, than any of the others.[/QUOTE]
