Its been my experience that PCF is a "sets" site. There is some "singles" collectors in the "sets" community. One of the many reasons we started PokerChipper.com was to tackle the proclaimed issue that singles and sets were "enemies", I was even told that there was attempts to unite the two but were unsuccessful. There is members of both at chipper and the conversations have been great and respectful.
There is things to be learned from each other even if its just some InSite into how and why people collect chips and their styles! Its working fine it would seem. Maybe previous attempts to unite the hobby were met with impatience. In all I believe the "we tried and it didn't work" theory is bunk. Come join the conversation at PokerChipper!
PCF has become nothing but a toxic marketplace for bulk chips although it has many great members! but its admin is a bit controlling and fearful of sites he feels compete with the site and a mere mention of PokerChipper will get you a ban. I thought the sites out here were to forward the hobby in general, not just a segment. but if Tommy wants his site to be strictly sets that his choice after all it is his site and he will let you know it. after all I got permaBanned just for starting PokerChipper although he said it was for other reasons that he could not substantiate or offer proof of.
I would welcome any proof of anything he said but he doesn't have the grown up decency to offer that. As anyone reading here knows I will call out dishonesty in the hobby! He's just a hot headed name caller. The vibe at chipper is laid back and welcoming for all with no god attitude bans and censorship, well other than the name PCF or Poker Chip Forum which auto censors simply for fun but I would never suggest a ban for mentioning other sites.
I know some here like to support Charles K even though he seems to be a serial liar who definitely IMO has turned many off to the hobby and now with his hoard alerts, most having no proof attached, and admittedly saying there is no way to keep the data fresh and/or relevant continues to waste time developing the Guide in a positive way he chooses to chase the windmill of these hoards regardless of suggestions. I believe he holds the guide hostage from development and modernism and weaponizes it against the hobby all together.
Leadership of the club in general must be complicit as they do nothing to address Charles crazy behavior and his running of the guide. Its hard to distinguish who owns what or runs what. Do all these sites fall under the blanket of the club CCA? Is the MOGH (useless) part of the club? is this BBS owned by the club? or private? It all makes my head spin......
Lets unite the hobby not divide it.... Its hard to be a CCA member knowing someone like Charles is in any administrative position and supported by the board knowing his propensity for being vindictive and dishonest.
