ancients versus world - forums?

[Architecht]

Do you guys think it would be more beneficial or too fractured to split ancient into a forum separate from world?

[YeahToast]

Do you get enough Ancient posts to warrant a seperate forum?

 

I doubt I'd make the effort to look at ancients if they weren't included in this forum. Like the "Grade this coin" forum I'd probably ignore it.

i think anciant fit in with world. so no change is needed

ARCH, an automatic spell check feature would be nice!

agreed

I just don't think there's enough Ancient action around here to warrant its own forum. There's hardly enough foreign action, haha. (But a spell checker would be cool )

Firefox has it built into the browser

[physics-fan3.14]

Have you tried the new Google Chrome browser? It has it as well. I don't use it too much, I still prefer Opera, but its a good start.

 

Not to derail the thread or anything

Personally I would love to see World and Ancient broken out. There is little relevance between, say, a 1939 shilling and a Nikomedes III Silver tetradrachm, unless one wants to backtrack the history of that shilling to that tetradrachm. And one could do the same with early, and especially Colonial, US coins.

 

To my mind, combining "World and Ancient" essentially gives this forum, which is international, too much of a United States flavor...anything not United States is either World or Ancient.

 

Break them out! If you please (note politeness there).

And if you are still using IE there are free download spell checkers. I use one called ieSpell when I use IE. http://www.iespell.com/

Nope. Not nearly enough posts in this forum for it to be split. Besides, until NGC starts to slab ancients (hint, hint) there is no need to it.

I hereby volunteer my time and effort to be the moderator of the Ancient Coin Forum

Oh yea, I would like them split btw. World coins really don't interest me, so I don't like having to hunt for the ancient coin posts. I also think a forum dedicated to ancient coins would see more action that they get here.

[pendragon1998]

Not enough posts in here as it is.

[the_Thing ®]

But I bet there will be if they had their own forum. And, as moderator of this forum, I guarentee to bring you HOPE, and CHANGE. Not the same old failed policies of Arch. I will take the forum in a new direction, for our children's children.

[physics-fan3.14]

Yeah, but will you promise to spread the wealth around? That's what I really want. Take from the guys who have more coins, and give them to us little guys.

[pendragon1998]

Change you will submit to, in other words.
