<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 499438, member: 4552&quot;]1. Just one of the points I was going to make. And I suspect due to so many people out of work they now have time to use the internet more.</p><p>2. The new baby dollars have started many new collectors and they look for coin forums to ask questions since they are new.</p><p>3. The State Quarters have started many new people on coin collecting so they too look on the internet for info about thier new hobby</p><p>4. The internet itself is still fairly new. Many, many people that used to collect coins and their only source of info was newsleters, magazines, coin stores and coin shows now have started to learn the internet.</p><p>5. Almost all coin forums have grown substantially. Not sure how many members there are here but PCGS likes to show off the membership on thier web site and I think the last time I saw it was well over 28,000. </p><p>6. In a way excessive memberships can create problems on a forum of any kind. For example on the PCGS forum it you ask a question and it isn&#039;t answered in a hour it is lost due to massive additional posts. </p><p>7. On this forum there are basically serious coin collectors, me excluded, and on other forums there are a lot of idiots. Some put me in the later notation.</p><p>8. Older people are now finding out how to use the internet and this hobby is full of us older people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
