@jbuck, as the most prolific active poster in this forum I think you deserve a lot of the credit for that alongside your wonderful peers. We are all very fortunate to have you and you very even-keeled demeanor in the face of everything that comes at you in this place.
The zero tolerance for bad language and bad behavior is awesome but it only works because moderators enforce it in a stern and fair manner.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I was a lurker in 2007 and remember a much slower forum with fewer topics and posters. Not to mention my terrible Internet connection!

Who are the 10 users with the highest postcounts? Just be aware that Rui, the person with the highest postcount, didn't actually make that many posts. Rui is our Snitz forum tech guru and artificially pumped up his own post count to make sure that if some future software upgrade makes anything bad happen to people with high post counts, it'll happen to him first. As for me, I joined way back on the 31st of January 2006 - this forum was almost exactly a year old at that point, and still quite small but rapidly growing. I'm on Page 7 of our member list (out of 1028 pages at the moment). I was pointed to this forum by members on a now-defunct Australian coin forum, who had posted about the passing away of catman (whom you will see way up the top of the CCF chronological member list at position number 5). So I never knew catman, which is a shame; from reading his old posts I think I'd have liked interacting with him. Catman was one of the most knowledgeable world-and-ancients guys on the forum at the time, and this forum seemed a bit lost without his friendly and helpful input, with numerous posts from newbies asking for help and not getting answers - so I joined up to help out. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I'm a casual collector and have found answers to my questions on specific coins, series of coins, and exonumia very helpful. The experts are generous with their time and patient. It's a virtual LCS for me as the one LCS in my town doesn't have much charm or selection. The CCF is a friendly forum of folks with shared interests. It's also a fun place to browse on a cold rainy morning with a cup of coffee nearby.

The coin Community Forum -- You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave... (apologies to The Eagles).
Yes, this forum is about the best place to go for conversations on coins.
