I've been a charter member so long I don't remember if this info is available to regular users...

At the top of the board I can see everybody who is reading a board or a topic. I just happened to notice there were 59, yes I said 59 guests on the crh board! These are people are below lurkers, they are parasites. They simply take info and do not contribute to this hobby in any way shape or form. Oh and by the way they are also, most likely your competition, so be careful about the info you are giving to each other on this forum.

Just my opinion from an old timer....take it however you want.

Well, I don't want to be rude to anyone so I will let them in on a secret. There is NO silver left in MS. Don't waste your time. I found a lot a year ago. Now nothing. Hope that helps.

Well, I quite often do not log in to read what people wrote, although I do have a login. I would bet others fall into this category. I am a little confused by the warning of secrecy, as I see it, if you dont want anyone to know what you find, don't post. I have not shared too much of what I have found, for that reason. But I love to see a big pile of Walkers, it gives me hope that I might find a box like that some day. I believe this site does cause more poeple to get into this hobby, whether or not it really lessens our takes from each box or bag or roll we search, I don't think we can measure. How could we know what percent of people DONT go to this site? My take is the site is good, reading about people's finds I find enjoyable. If I find a dream box some day I'll probably post pics.

Let's not forget that some people might be checking in on the forum via an iPhone, and they are not logged in.

I don't share my tried and true secrets. This hobby is like fishing, I might teach you how to tie a knot or cast a line, but I sure as hell won't ever tell you where my best fishin' hole is :)

Exactly right...I'll talk about what to look for in a good fishing hole (and recently did in a CWR thread) but sure as heck won't point at a topographical map and tell you where I catch my big ones (name which banks in my area save their halves in a bag in the back, and which cash them in to the depository every week.) In fact, I'll probably just say "Wells Fargo on 42nd St." and laugh every time you pick up all the "fish" I threw back. If you aren't smart enough to find your own treasure, you don't deserve it IMHO.

If someone were to tell me that they got into this hobby because of the information I shared, I'd be estatically happy, because that is how I got into this hobby, the information left on this board gave me just enough info to get me hooked. Even if this theoretical person moved in "my territory" I'd be just a little miffed, but still happy that I was the cause of somone else's happiness in a new hobby. Which banks in my area are good and which are bad is something I learned myself, and something someone else will have to learn.

Whats the difference between the parasites who "guest" in and the parasites who register? They are all still parasites looking for your silver. :wink:
