CURRENTLY 70 PEOPLE VIEWING THIS SECTION

VANDOO · 17th October 2011, 10:53 PM

I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING 70 PEOPLE VIEWING THE ETHNO PART OF THE FORUM AT ONCE. THAT'S GOOD BUT WHERE ARE THE NEW POSTS

SURELY SOMEONE HAS SOMETHING NEW OR A QUESTION OR TWO OR JUST SOME GOOD WEAPON RELATED PICTURES.
COME ON IN AND POST!
OR US OLDIES ARE LIKELY TO POST SOMETHING WE ALREADY POSTED SEVERAL TIMES IF IT GETS TOO SLOW. YOU ALL KNOW HOW FORGETFUL WE CAN GET AND HOW MUCH WE LIKE TO TELL OUR FAVORITE STORIES.

JUMP ON IN THE WATERS FINE AND THERE ARE NO BAD QUESTIONS AND YOU WILL NOT BE CRITIQUED OR TALKED DOWN TO.

PS. FOR THOSE NEW TO THE FORUMS , I AM NOT SHOUTING OR EXCITED , BUT FIND ALL CAPS EASIER TO SEE.

Please excuse my ignorance, but is that figure Members only or does it include views from outside the Membership?

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING IT INCLUDES MEMBERS AND BROWSERS. YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY ARE WATCHING IN ALL 5 FORUMS IF SWAP FORUMS ARE INCLUDED. I HAVE NOT SEEN 70 WATCHING SINCE THIS FEATURE WAS INSTALLED AND THOUGHT IT WORTH A SHOT TO TRY AND GET A FEW MORE MEMBERS AND POSTS.

INTERESTINGLY THERE ARE NOW 73 VIEWING THIS FORUM.

JUST TO MAKE THIS POST MORE INTERESTING I HAVE ADDED PICTURES OF A CHINESE SWORD. CAST BRONZE HANDLE AND A STEEL BLADE. I HAVE SEEN EXAMPLES OF THIS FORM OF HANDLE FOR SALE WITH THE BLADE RUSTED DOWN TO A STUMP BUT CAN'T SWEAR TO THE AUTHENCITY OF THIS FORM. I DO FIND IT INTERESTING . IF ANYONE HAS INFORMATION ON THESE PLEASE COMMENT.

Salaams~ I agree with all the above. Some people use the forum as a body of knowledge and others are avid collectors or interested to some degree big and small. Some are just curious. All are welcome in my view.. however I think its great to welcome all comers .. and to invite them to join the discussion by joining the forum.

Good point Vandoo, it would be great to have an influx of new blood.

I am sure regular visitors to the forum know we are a very friendly, helpful bunch of enthusiasts ....so why not join and post some of your collection. Perhaps, you haven't started collecting yet, but have an interest in Ethnographic weapons ....no matter, there are many members whom will give advice on how to start collecting, what to avoid etc .....you just need to join and ask
