[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 1016581, member: 16269"]I don't know. I know some of them are still around because I see their names on other forums. I used to frequent several different sites but over the last few months, I'm active on maybe five and I lurk on another dozen or so. I try to assist when there is something I'm familiar with but since my focus has changed to paper money and error coins, I've lost some of my interest in other areas. One thing that I noticed that drives away some of the experts, (and this in no way pertains to you at all) is some of the new members who pop in with a question become argumentative when they find out their coin or error on their coins is common and not valuable. I can see how this can be frustrating to someone who volunteers their expertise only to get insulted or abused. I, too, miss a lot of the senior members. Maybe what we need is an online Homecoming to get them to come back.[/QUOTE]
