Settings have now been updated so there is no time limit to when you can go back and edit a post. Worth trying certainly, and I'll surely have occasion to use it, but I do have mixed feelings. The advantages are very clear, but I've seen unrestricted editing badly abused on another (non-numismatic) forum. One know-it-all twerp in particular systematically edited away every trace of a particularly idiotic post he'd made years back and then smugly insisted he'd never said such things at all. I'm not worried at all that any of the current members would abuse their editing ability like that, but as the site grows that may not always be the case. Don't misunderstand; I'm happy to see this implemented now. If misuse ever does occur, we can burn that bridge when we get to it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though from a totally selfish perspective I think being able to edit is the most useful upgrade from CT that I can think of for me personally. I did not like facing the 3rd degree from the mods every time I wanted to fix a broken link, add an illustration or correct an error in a post I made (some of which I spent a lot of time on). I like to keep my content up-to-date even if I’m the only one who goes back and sees it. 😉 Hopefully we won’t get any bad actors that abuse the privilege. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archjman Posted May 26, 2022 · Member Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) I'd like to thank you too, I never bothered to register at CT before, for obvious reasons, but this all looks promising. Excited to be part of something new 🙂 Edited May 26, 2022 by archjman 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know-it-all twerps be forewarned: Even if you edit a post, Phil will remember! Haha 🙂 But on a more serious note, completely understand where you're coming from on the risk side of having a feature like this be in perpetuity, and will reevaluate if ever necessary! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted May 27, 2022 · Member Share Posted May 27, 2022 Im just so glad to finally be able to join a forum, not get immediately banned by some weird internal algorythm and have some holier-than-thou mod tell people "Our decision is final, shut up peasants" I hope great things come from this! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furryfrog02 Posted May 27, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2022 I have invited Dominic (Ocat... from CT). I really hope he joins. He was a great contributor over at CT, a good guy, and I think he would make a great addition here. If anyone else has his contact info, perhaps you can message him too. He has a few justifiable reservations but I think with enough positive support, perhaps he will make the jump. We would be all the better for him being here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValiantKnight Posted May 27, 2022 · Member Share Posted May 27, 2022 Thanks from me as well to Restitutor for creating this forum and thank you to Phil for the invite.

It's great to see the list of familiar names from CT. My username there was jb_depew. I'm switching it up a bit here 🙂 We need a concordance, like the ones at the back of certain numismatic reference books! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a Canadian lurker here, but a friend of Steve’s. Steve had a rough go with cancer and a few other health scares a few years ago. He retired from his Manitoba job and is hanging his hat in Kamloops, BC. Steve sold his ancient coin collection, all consigned through a dealer, who did sell them as “ex-stevex6” pedigree. As far as I know, Steve stopped collecting coins, but has hung onto his Canadian 25c collection, his error coins, and his paper money collection. He is enjoying retired life, and still cheering hard for the Vancouver Canucks. I am sure he’d be proud to hear of you guys still remembering his enthusiasm with ancient coins. Best of luck with your new forum. Edited June 8, 2022 by SPP-Ottawa 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor Steve Posted June 8, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Hey, cheers SPP-O ... oh, and thanks for the kind thoughts (you rock) Yes, I still have that cool error-coin (struck on foreign planchet) ... hey, I know that you still want my cool Centennial Bunny error, eh? (it's yours, if I ever decide to unload it) ; ) Hi Edited June 8, 2022 by Steve 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPP-Ottawa Posted June 8, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 8, 2022 Nice to see you staying connected with old friends Steve. Some folks on CCF still ask about you on occasion… I’ll be out in Kamloops next April (2023), giving a short course for the Kamloops Exploration Group (KEG). We’ll have to hook up for a coffee or a pint then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else do you think he can afford all those beautiful gold coins? 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
