     I was only on the site about 5 or 6 days when I figured out that 2 individuals did 90% of the posting.  figure A would post a coin and claim he wanted more information.  Figure B would claim the coin was some uber rare variety worth thousands of dollars.  Then they would try to pressure anyone else on the board to buy the coin.    

There you go guys. You found all the truth about ConTalk. Thanks for sharing this.

I used to purchase forum software and customize it. Make it look nice and wait for visitors to arrive. They never arrived except a handful ones. Over the years I got advise to post a LOT on my own forum, which I did not, since I am honest and do not practice hypocrisy. After some years I needed to minimize and I delete the forum and never looked back. Now I understand better what's going on with forums.

You never said you were banned. Now I understand the hate you have for the site. It's strange that new members post questions there everyday and don't get banned. 

One thing is for sure. You and the mods are the only ones that will ever know the truth of why you were banned. Just for the record, I post stupid questions over there all the time. I guess I'm just lucky. 

I did wrote that I was banned, in multiple posts, but you need to find and read them. I am going to unsubscribe from this thread and forum, to have my time back. I really don't care about CoinTalk.

No. After being here for 21 years, I'll stay. After 16 years on CT and 25 years on CU/PCGS, I'll stay there as well. I don't make up stuff. If I post something, you can bet it's the truth. Posting false information will never be cool on any of the sites and members will correct any false information.  

I post only the truth. Did you notice that this thread is by those whose feelings were hurt because they were banned from CoinTalk? I am neither a frequent poster on NGCC and I am never going back to CoinTalk for two reasons:

1. I don't need CoinTalk, they have wrong attitude. I don't collect coins.
2. I was banned from it for just for posting one single question and for being new there. There was no abuse from my side.

I don't need any of the forums, really. I prefer live conversations.

Yes, I will keep on posting as long as I receive answers and related replies. Just want to see CoinTalk hurt for banning innocent posters. Not that I need to go there.

Yes, you can stay on NGCC and on CoinTalk., It is your right and you should use it.

So you have not been there in years and you tell others to have some self respect and not go there. You know nothing about the site, the mods or the owner. Everything you posted is false. I'll guess someone there hurt you feelings and you can't get over it. Grow up and post the truth or don't post. 

It's YOU who should stay away from this forum. Just go back to your beloved CoinTalk and stay there. Good luck and have a good day.

I came across this thread while on hold and found it to be a twisted odd journey.  The only question I have at the end of it (Cointalk has been around for years completely legit), is about the original poster.  He claims to be the first name in Numismatics or some such thing.  I could not but help wonder what his response would be if you asked him about Kenneth Bressett or Q. David Bowers.  My guess is he would say "Who?" 

Are you talking about G_P Newbie? I also have no idea who he is, but CoinTalk made a lot of enemies, that's for sure. Twisted odd moderators attract twisted odd reactions.

ConTalk does not want anyone whining and asking "stupid questions" as they are trying to keep it quality content and all other losers and everyone else must click on ads that CT is surrounded with and get out. No they are not  a scam, they have the right to ban anyone any time, but they can't or want-to ban you from clicking on their overwhelmingly present and overpowering ads. That's most likely the culprit. The ads.

Personally, why should I even care about CoinTalk? I have been to it a couple times some years ago and have never returned and am not missing the place. Way too much attention has already been given to ConTalk. I'm watching this thread to just see how it will end. Have some self respect guys and quit even mentioning that site. There's nothing wrong wanting to get rid of everyone while the emperor guy wants to save some bucks by lowering traffic to his beloved forum. While other webmasters are struggling to attract new members, he wants them all out, except some ole good buddies of his own.

Part of my banning is my fault. I NEVER EVER EVER back down from bullies, and the Chief Mod at CT is an über-bully. He openly brags that his word is gospel and then refuses to answer questions, stating that what the rules mean is clear. What is clear is that he is megalomaniac and a bully. 

That's how fascist dicktators are born...

ConTalk ban is a blessing.

I assume you are banned too with deeply personal attacks on someone like that.

I can be like that if I am really pissed, but never on ConTalk. And no, ConTalk is not a scam, VKurtB wrote exactly to the point on what they are.

CoinTalk is not a scam. They are an opposite of a scam. They ban "scammers" or "askers", those who ask questions, thus scamming CT out of their time. A scammer at CT is an annoying individual who is asking a question about a coin and does not beforehand kiss up to the emperor of the forum. A couple years ago I have posted a question, in a polite and respectful language (spellchecked), about a coin that I had. Apparently they did not like that a novice came into their beloved place and asked a "stupid" question about a coin that he had in his possession. Perhaps they considered me as an annoyance and issued a ban without thinking. Since my English is not perfect, I may have raised a "suspicion" that I could be a "scammer" trying to get free information while using less than perfect English. On hypocrite run forums, that's not allowed. Thus I received an indefinite (and was provided an opportunity t click on an ad to earn some money for the Two Hundred Dollar Emperor*** of ConTalk) ban which I can only cure by moving elsewhere. I won't do that  since CT to me is a non-existing place full of self-absorbed hypocrites and xenophobes. I have left them appropriate reviews all over internet.

*** Anyone can purchase a forum software and set it up in one day, and become an "Emperor" of their own forum.

Thanks. Is coin collecting more popular than banknote collecting? If so by how much?

Is this forum good for discussing banknotes / paper money collecting and related topics?
