Well, since you are asking an opinion, I will give you mine. Remember, this is only my point of view and am in no way trying to force it upon anyone. I am the highest ranking member on this board that is not a moderator or bullet expert. This is what has kept me coming to this board for so long:
I am not like many of the collectors that participate on this board. Every bullet that I have has been taken from the ground by me personally. The desire to identify my finds sent me on a quest for knowledge and the most accessible knowledge is on the Internet. I didn't find this site by "accident" because I was looking specifically for something like this. When I found it I thought, "WOW, look at all of this!"
I am here mostly to learn, not to give an opinion about things. I have seen some brash responses to some posts. For these reasons, I do not post often when the topic is concerning bullets. However, I do pay attention, make my notes, and commit items to memory. This being said, I have learned much about bullets here on CWBullet.
I have also been here long enough to see periods of time in which this board went through some dire straights as far as participation goes. I did notice pick ups when the new categories were added. I know I certainly enjoyed reading and participating in other side discussions. Others that would like for the forum to be only bullet related, in my very humble opinion, do not necessarily have to read to other categories. We have had great discussions even related to over-seas bullets and things of the sort.
Much of the great activity of recent time has been spawned by newcomers and in some other sections than the bullet section. But if you look to see, the bullet portion of this board has also benefited from this. I think that the bullet section is still very much the center of this forum. Do these things not work together?
I am very much the bullet novice and enjoy learning about them. I also enjoy learning of the other things that are posted in the other sections. It is my hope that we can keep things as they are. Otherwise, I would only have half of the reason to visit. That would sadden me. Simply my opinion.
