Something new has happened to the CU Forums and Price Guide

[coinsarefun]

Normally, when they do periodic maintenance, folks are warned and this time there was a strange notice.
Its as if it was a test and they hoped that no one would notice it............................but we did!

Did anyone else on the forum you know have the same thing happen to them?

As far as Collectors' Universe goes,they deserve to sink like sacks of shite.Their so-called 'moderators' are all wankers going on ego trips.

Have you had a look here; http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Main_Page ?

You don't even have to be a member of P.C.G.S. or Collectors' Universe to be registered on there.

Yeah, ummm....I don't know about all that, but you don't have to be a memeber now to use the forum.  Mr. Willis has suggested that they are working on changing that.  I think that is the issue here, charging for what used to be free to all.

FilthyBroke,
  I'd be really peeved if P.C.G.S. started charging to access http://www.coinfactswiki.com .

It would be a shame to have articles such as http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Banknotes_of_the_Reserve_Bank_of_Zimbabwe left unfinished if P.C.G.S. end up being wankers & start charging you to retain an account to write up on there.

They have no plans to charge for that site. There is a much more important site that used to be available and now can be accessed  by subscription only.

This is a much more sophisticated site http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/

Stefanie,
  What they want to charge for accessing that website is a ripoff!

I can guess that Don Willis wants to emulate Doug Prather (a major league wanker over on Coin Talk) & piss off a majority of collectors.
