The old forum is a dead horse and no new posting on it.  It is archive and search only from what I understand.

Not just the loss of old forum, but sheesh, I just tried to renew my annual membership... I tried the phone number and was treated to a never ending ad for first, an ambulance chasing law firm, second for a Caddy dealership, third I hung up. Back to the online renewal.. renewal rates seem higher and no guide included with an annual renewal.. all renewals are aimed for multi-year if you want a new guide. Finally said the "heck" with it... I don't often get to use my membership as it is.. so perhaps no loss, although I do enjoy the magazine. It just seems like the Massey family has lost track of where they came from.. now it seems to be primarily about raising as much money as possible in as short a time span as possible... get each member to spend as much as possible as soon as possible. Dang, we shall see.. and the old forum.. miss it.. as to using our names publicly, bad idea, especially without giving each poster an option.

AS THE BUZZARD GOES SO GOES WHAT MADE IT WORK.THE ASSO.IS STRICKLY ALL BUISNESS,AND NOW WE`ER JUST A NUMBER.

WAS JUST CHECKING IN TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAD IMPROVED (NOT) VERY SAD TO SEE THE DEMISE OF A ONCE GREAT 

ORG.

I never had a chance to use the "old" forum. I think anything is a representation of the people that use it. I have noticed that for a movement that is growing so quickly and an organization whose membership is growing so fast, the activity on the forums seems very low. Maybe mass e-mails and including a handout in the membership package on this website and forum would encourage people to try it out. In the mean time I tell everyone I know about it, I embed links in e-mails to friends asking me about my prospecting and I am active here and on several chapter forums. Hopefully I can generate interest, even if it is someone telling me to be quite (joke).

That is because I think everyone is going to and joining the GoldProspectorsspace.com site. It is becoming the biggest and fastest growing site for ALL types of  prospecting. Who you find a lot of the people on there are from here and the are the best group of people you will find on the web. They have a talk show on Sunday nights with special guests covering all forms of prospecting. Even Dominic is on the site. Check it out and tell them I sent you....
