Re: OK people, let's start promoting this website
Yes, I've noticed that fewer and fewer folks post any more. It's nice to answer questions from the newbies, but that runs to a little boring after a while. I enjoy making comments, but maybe people are just getting tired of using computers any more. I just wish that people would learn to live without a cell phone and re-use desktops, because I think that this is one of the main factors that reduces coin site participation. A photo of a coin on a 3 X 4" screen isn't conductive to lengthy discussion.

The onset of summer tends to mark a decline in Web traffic as consumers spend less time at their desktops and more time on vacation and leisure.

I think I would post on this site but I can’t stand the ads that pop up every time I use it. Very hard to use on my mobile phone

-True! Activity always drops during good weather.The onset of summer tends to...
-I think more experienced collectors must generate healthy discussions around the hobby (there's got to be more to discuss than just ID a coin or what its worth). What about shows (which will start up soon)? What about new discoveries, variations, scams, or articles on Coinweek, etc?I just wish that people would learn to live without a cell phone and re-use desktops, because I think that this is one of the main factors that reduces coin site participation.

-the transition to phones has really hit forums/Discussion boards hard. I use my MacBook & have seen no ads so its much easier to navigate. (Rarely use my phone to peruse the sites)
Anyway, I continue to try to spread the word about this site (C&C) to others & hope things will pick up. I've seen forums slow down all over the net (before the pandemic). The pandemic gave the hobby a bit of a boost but now things are returning to normal- well, it worries me TBH

I also have never seen any ad, ever, to pop up on here, but I use a desktop with Windows. I think that ads are just payback for using a cellphone. I have never owned one or even know how to operate one, but my wife is always on hers talking to people, not for the internet.

-Most sites have expenses to cover so the ads will help with those.I also have never seen any ad, ever, to pop up on here, but I use a desktop with Windows. I think that ads are just payback for using a cellphone.
I saw a post complaining about ads on US based The Paper Money Forum & I had no idea what the member was referring to.

Then I installed their app, tried it on the phone, & yeah, saw several ads in between posts. So, yes, it can be distracting (if you only have access from your phone). Best to browse from the desk/laptop IMO.

The ads will pop up if you are on a while, but a small price to deal with for a free site for users. They would, however, make me lose my mind if I was using my phone, I am sure!
Re: OK people, let's start promoting this website
I look at this site on my home computer only, I would like to check on things at times on my phone but it is useless.
ads block out everything. Not that its a big deal for me but I can see younger people that seem to use their phone for everything might get upset.
