Coin World Closes Online Forums

[gmarguli]

I was making my annual visit to the Coin World forums and noticed this:

 

For the last seven years Coin World has provided a free online forum. Due to declining usage and our company’s decision to direct resources to other endeavors, we will conclude sponsorship of the Coin World Forum effective December 30, 2004, at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Can't say I really care as their forums stunk and were moderated with an ultra-heavy hand (at least the last time I looked). Perhaps NGC could run an ad in Coin World mentioning these forums or some registered users could go over there and post a link to here?

greg an excellent idea lets get everyone notified and registered at ngc forums this would be the right thing to do

then i am sure the forums will prove their worth and there will be many other regular users

 

msybe ngc can put an ad in coin world and invite all the former coin world forums users and also maybe post an ad online at the coinworld online site

Although the forum was censored quite thoroughly. The forum did have it`s merits. Many interesting subjects were discussed, and I personally found that the majority of the posters had likable personas and were well versed in numismatic knowledge. Synonymous with NGC`s forums. I do hope we will see some new posters crossover to this forum. In my opinion NGC`s forums are the best on the web.

It wasn't the moderator - it was the rules set down by Coin World that he was forced to follow.
