Message:: [QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1605041, member: 29751"]While the "zapping" is convenient for your anecdotal point Paul, the NGC site is NO WHERE even close to the same as the PCGS boards.  There are probably more threads zapped at PCGS in one day than the NGC site in a month.  I have been on the NGC site almost daily for the past 2 years -- the ebb and flow has been pretty similar overall, and the place is a helluva lot more welcoming than the PCGS site.  And, far less juvenile and pretentious to boot.  In those two years, there have been probably 2-3 people who have joined the NGC boards, filling up an entire page of new threads with nothing other than questions they could have answered by going to Google.  Those "types" never seem to stick around for too long...but it's no secret in that small community who those people are.  The "one" as of late is supposedly a rocket scientist, but apparently hasn't discovered how to use a search engine. Anyway, I have digressed.  In general, I think my two descriptions are pretty true pictures of the state of things on those two sites at least for the last couple years (and I presume long before). In short, I encourage people to shop around on various forums.  If I have a world coin question, I'll usually post here at CT, just because I know I'll get a quicker answer, and the range of collectors seems to be more diverse here.  If I have question about an NGC submission, it would only make sense to ask on the NGC forum.  In my opinion, the Coincommunity.com forum on coin photography is the best of the bunch, so I also spend a lot of time there.  In all, there are 5 forums I frequent, the only one I rarely contribute to is the PCGS forum....I guess I'm just not quite one of the "one-percenters" or whatever they think they are over there?
