Does it bother you when "strangers" post?

It bothers me when people stranger than I post.
That hasn't happened yet.

Chrono I will be pinging you soon about sapphires! I'm in talks with Jeff!


For what it is worth I don't get the point of introductions. Most people, especially on RT blow in and blow out on a weekly basis. They come to look for an ering and are gone the next day. I think of PS for most people it is an informational forum. They come to get what questions they have answered or at least RT is then they are gone. Sometimes members stick around and post which is wonderful. Other forums I have belonged to encourage members to start talking through intro and PMing. They want to promote a sense of community. I think that is harder here because Andrey et all worry about solisticing and shilling (is that what it is called?!).

And yes I agree Chrono the orginal intent of this thread was taken out of context and I'm still scratching my head as to how it got here.

I'm super excited for you. Do you know how to reach me off the forums? I'm still on DB but if you can't find me, there are a handful of other PSers who know my email address.

I think having a sticky thread for introductions is a great idea. I looked around for a thread for introductions but didn't see anything so I just started posting.

There used to be an entire Pricescope forum dedicated to posters introducing themselves. Even a Google search did not bring it to light for me now, however. It hadn't been used by newcomers for a long time, however, when it disappeared. It just held biographies of older posters. Some posters used their threads to keep others updated on their news; others just let their biographies (more an autobiography, I guess) just sit there.

Yes. That is it, Chrono. I didn't even think it existed. I couldn't find it. I am sure that no one ever sees it. No one ever looks at my thread to read about me. I know because once you found it I looked at my old introductory thread and saw that one of my photos had been viewed only five times and I posted my entry introducing myself many years ago! I don't think anyone can find the forum to read about current posters or to post new introductions in it! Thank you for unearthing it. Maybe we should place it somewhere prominent and revive it!
