Where has everyone gone?
Posted By: Dan Bretta
This place looked like it was going to be real promising, but thus far has tapered off to almost nothing and now the posting frequency resembles the gameused board.

I'm still checking in on regular-basis, Dan! I think we're simply seeing this board taper off naturally to about the traffic that the non-sports card board enjoys. We're such a relatively small niche, it's really hard to see this site's traffic even approach the vintage baseball card board.

Clint- I was joking, but I have noticed that while the card threads have been going at a breakneck speed today, this section hasn't gotten a single post. That could change on any given day, but it's not a good sign. I've been busy today and have just glanced at the board, but where is everybody? Have we lost interest?

but it seems as though we each have our own niche inside the niche. It's like that riddle wrapped within the enigma thing, which makes it hard for us to do anything other than admire and praise the scans. I've seen more interesting items on this forum than any other.

One thing to encourage more traffic would be to have people post their new items in a separate posts, rather than "your favorite item" or "recent May pickups". Given that most memorabilia is unique, I think this is warranted, and makes the scrolls down less time consuming for the images to load.

Good idea Max. Just a little ticket stub I picked up on Saturday did spur some discussion. If I had posted it in the May pickup thread it might not have gotten any discussion at all.

Only speaking for myself, my family and I have a hundred things going on outside the home. Besides, it's too nice to be in the house. That's my reason. And I hope this board continues. I've got a ton of things I'd like to show on here. I've gota neat item on the way from a recent auction. I'll show it then.

As far as I can tell this board will remain. Even if it sits idle for a while it's ok. I do hope it picks up but that is for the participants to determine. Yesterday I almost felt like posting over here just to be in a friendly environment again...Those card guys are whacked out sometimes

The posts may be few, but some great topics have been covered (and quite peaceably). The photo ID thread was great. It had inside information that most collectors (at least ones like me) will rarely encounter first hand.

Tons of rare things to show....no camera to hook up to the computer....no way to show many things. I will however figure this out...my expertise is money, not tech equipment. As Sgt. Schultz said, "I know nothing".

Mike, digital cameras can be had pretty cheaply nowadays. And if you're using Windows XP all you need to do is plug the camera into the USB port and everything is pretty much done for you.

Mike, I'm an idiot when it comes to computers but with the help of Dan and some others I made the leap. It's really not that difficult, it just seems overwhelming. Look forward to your pictures.

Sadly this probably just goes to show that you need some soap opera whining and fighting to draw in a crowd. So...........

I'm honored. No one has ever told me I suck....Seriously though, we all know there are tens of thousands of unique and interesting things out there. Many are one of a kind. Lets see 'em. I have one of a kind personal items that belonged to Foxx, Gehrig, mack. So I know every one else does also. lets see them.

That does it....you have crossed the line !!! Which line I don't know but you crossed it......Maybe it's the drama that does draw crowds? We need to get Dorskind, Crandall, Jay B and Scott E posting over here. The fireworks would begin.....and there would be much singing and dancing in the streets....

How do you spell "hoser"? Say, come to think of it, what does that word actually mean? I know it is a less than complimentary term for a Canadian, but what is its derivation?

Barry, hoser was a term used before the invention of the zamboni machine. The losing team had to hose down the ice to resurface it after a hockey game. It is synonymous with loser.

Dan and David have the correct answer. Between periods, he resurfaces the ice. Most people automatically think the question means what does the zamboni driver do when he is not resurfacing the ice. However, the period in hockey is when the game is actually played. The driver resurfaces the ice during the intermissions.
