[QUOTE="Stork, post: 3122628, member: 71642"]I can't remember why/how I joined in 2014 (that's what my profile says), but really got more interested as I grew tired of the grading company owned sites by the two biggies. NGC and PCGS both did software 'upgrades'. Unlike LordM I don't mind the PCGS interface. NGC took longer to [B]sort-of[/B]-fix theirs. Either way...NGC has been a ghost town for quite some time, and PCGS's world forum has slowed down as well. Too much about the companies too--not that I don't like/use them but I get super aggravated by the superior/drink the koolaid attitudes, as well as the occasional bits of high drama. Neither of them are robust enough in terms of content these days. World and Ancients are much better represented here. I still check in on the others, but spend way more time over here as there is almost always something interesting. My wish here would be a dedicated sub-forum for photography--a few pinned posts with the basics, and then more activity. I have found another site with a coin photo sub forum but haven't been able to get as into that. Much prefer this one, so rarely go over there (generally only if there is a link).[/QUOTE]
