<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3734403, member: 112&quot;]I asked him about it at a coin show. He wasn&#039;t really specific, just said that his life had changed. And it did change, he changed in many ways, physical appearance, job, attitude, everything basically. When I first saw him, I hardly even recognized him. That&#039;s how radical the change was.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I recall he quit posting on forums about the same time he started working for NGC. He didn&#039;t come right out and say he quit posting because he started working there, but he kinda hinted at it a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p>Over the years we&#039;ve had quite a few members, even some mods, who quit posting, participating on forums, because of a change in their jobs - they started working for one of the major numismatic companies. NGC, Heritage, PCGS, Stacks, the list goes on. And those that I&#039;ve specifically asked, again they kinda hinted but wouldn&#039;t come right and say it that their present employment was why. And yet others who work at these companies post on forums all the time. So who knows, I certainly don&#039;t. </p><p><br /></p><p>And then ya have people like this guy - [USER=36248]@geekpryde[/USER]&nbsp; You&#039;d be hard pressed to find somebody who was more active in this forum than he was. But one day he just went - poof ! - gone - from the forum. And now, after 5 years, he&#039;s back. I know a whole lot more about than anybody than him, always have, but it&#039;s up to him to say what he wants. He&#039;s already explained a good bit in various posts. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess my point is all kinds of people have their own reasons for participation or lack thereof on forums. And those reasons are as widely varied as the people themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
