I/We are very glad you feel that way Templar. We original founders, as you call them, wanted a home where everyone was equal ALL the time. While it sometimes seems to take for ever to make a decision everyone is given time to have their say.
We, in our humble beginning, accidently took over a forum or two. The Knights and Knightesses were very active and requests or information to join our ranks filled the pages. This did NOT sit well with forum owners who had their own agenda. Bluntly put our members got censored or banned before we finally got the boot. Ironically I had the inside view on one of them as I was a moderator who got a full view of what was going on behind the scenes. I never one time voted to censor or ban anyone. Guess it is my calling to stand up for equal rights and fairness?
A few of us were ridiculed, slandered and literally "called out" for the fight but we held our tongues and walked away long before the banishment. This castle we have built is not about making money even though we all know, from time to time, it does take money. Other than that you have seen the end results of our efforts and it will continue as long as members such as you come forward to join us. Together we have done things that the world told us could not be done. The medallions are a repeated feat that major coin clubs CANNOT do without charging $70, $80 or over $100 for one of their limited edition silver medallions.
Its about sharing our passion for coins and the joy of having friends all over the world. It doesn't get any better than that!
