GIMs Rich History

[AgAuGal]

The 'Is GIM Out of Control' thread really ticked me off and rather than go nuclear on that thread decided to redirect my energies and start a thread where we can appreciate the history of GIM and the positive contributions this forum has offered and continues to offer.

I imagine over all the years of GIM1 and GIM2 thousands have benefited from the selfless sharing of knowledge and opinions. The founding GIM fathers and the mods have given of their time, talents and in some cases their money to make this forum available to so many. How many can reflect on their time at GIM and know you and yours are better off having learned from the members of this forum. I am disheartened at the waste of bandwidth spent on whining and complaining, attacking other members that express a view or opinion different than your own - well welcome to America, it you dont like the content of a thread use the IGNORE button.

I think it would do us good to remember how far we have all come no matter how long you have been a part of this forum. We have lost so many wonderful contributors to GIM for what gain, childish banter.

This country is bankrupt, our representatives are deft of character and courage and we have a forum where we can help each other in this void of leadership and yet some feel compelled to soil / try to ruin this freedom and opportunity to help each other through this mess. We are faced with battles on multiple fronts and yet many prefer to sit in the GIM foxhole and throw stones and dirt at each other.

This will be a thread to share if you want when the mood moves you how GIM has helped, encouraged you when your gut was in knots, to continue with PMs and your education, your life.

If you have a story about how GIM has encouraged you, helped you, feel free to share. Maybe this will be a thread people can visit when they get tired of threads focused on whining about GIM or other members. I'm also going to post a bit of GIM history so if some of you still have your old GIM1 avatars feel free to post. If you kept something (an old thread, quote, encouragement from another member) from GIM that made a positive difference in your view of the world, post it. This forum is what we make of it, we can choose to destroy it for everyone or contribute to its growth.

We'll see how this goes. I miss so many wonderful GIMers and want to be reminded of what is good about GIM starting with the guys that had the vision and willingness to build this forum not knowing how it would grow and the growing pains that would be endured.

Gold Is Money circa 2002-2003

Paper money is something we use daily but few of us realize what money is, or see that we pay a hidden tax to use it. Hidden from view is the privately owned company and elite group of people that profit from each and every transaction we make. Most people know very little about how paper money is created and who creates it.
Because Money affects us in all aspects of our lives, we should endeavor to learn more about it. Paper Money controls all who use it. As our freedoms are lost through the use of valueless paper money, we become slaves to the hidden ones that issue it.
Gold and Silver are natural Money with a 5,000 year history and can purchase goods in virtually every country in the world.
"The hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency: their sole object is gain."
Napoleon Bonaparte
By shinning the light on paper money and Gold we hope to help create a better world.
May you profit more than Gold from exploring our web site.
A warm welcome Friend, from the Founding Members of Gold is Money!

I don't own a teevee and don't listen to radio. GIM is my main information source to keep track of what's going on in the world. I figure if any event is worth taking note of, I will read about it here and get a better grasp of such events than I would by watching teevee. Why? Because not only are GIMers more intelligent than average, they are more honest than the media.
I like having access to a wide variety of perspectives and comments about world events. Some things are obvious to me that aren't obvious to others and some things are obvious to others that aren't obvious to me.
Thanks to all who post here for making it a great forum.

Buying this little coin through apmex was how I found out about GIM.

The darn thing said goldismoney.info right on it, so how could I not come and check things out? Turned out to be the best investment I have ever made. Reading the wealth of wisdom and knowledge on GIM has taught me very valuable lessons and saved years of study.

(Thanks to all those involved in getting the Freedom and Bull rounds to market.) :coolbeer:

Anyone have a pic of the 'ol miner' from the early days used to enter GIM? I have the pic but cant get it to post (got it). The one where the gold in the pan sparkled (gif?).

this was the text under the miner



Hang out in our forums long enough and your investments may just pan out for you!

I very much appreciate every thing I have read here. Even the crazy...it beats watching TV.

I think I came to GIM in 2003. It was nice to find a place back then that was civil to a silver bug. Most of the other sites I was at before GIM dismissed silver in those days...as being more plentiful than grains of sand or drops of water in the Ocean...and laughed at the very idea that an ounce of silver would ever be worth more than a hamburger and a coke.

Eight years of crazy times, huh ? When a BIG day in silver was 5 cents movement.......ahahahahaaaaa

I thank G-Khan, Scorpio, et al, for the encouragement to stick around for the education, and the enevitable of where this is going, and what it has meant to our financial future. We few here at GIM are so lucky to have found it, it's hard to put in words.

Am I the only one who is starting to think Butler is losing his credibility? I mean, he is saying "All Systems Are Go" while silver drops another 23 cents (23!) or whatever today. I dont mean to disparage this cat, but facts is facts.

Sweet! and funny. More hits is I guess their measure, and so many good posts make GIM very hittable.

where is that rascal donkey

 

[Gold Rush]

I have always since my teens had a interest in Gold & Silver, back then it was the feeling that I owned some things that where made of real gold and silver..and that it was cool..about 4 yrs ago, I started thinking more that it was something I should put away for the future as an investment....then I discovered GIM..it wasn't till then I learned the real importance of why it was truely nessary to have PM's..not that it was cool, or a good thing to invest in...but it was one of the things vital to have in the uncertain world we live in today...Because of GIM, and it's members... I learned how really unprepared I had been all my life...I always thought, if I had some cash on hand, and some PM's that I would be ok, if something happened...I had forgot about survival prep, and what items are needed in a emergency, learned that fact that FRN are not wealth, just paper...I have gained so much knowledge from GIM, and it's members...something you can't put a price on..and the comfort that if there is something I dont know, or don't understand..all I have to do is ask, and that their are people here that will help...I'm very Grateful for GIM, and it's Members!..and I Thank each and everyone of you for your insight, help, and your posts..

I miss Gkhan. I hope one day he comes back.

Name the GIMer most associated with this

 

[Scorpio]

I'm with you Straw,

She is giving me flashbacks with these posts,

One of the other things I miss are the pictures over the years, the pictures were incredible,

GKhan is fine, checked in with Tn lately, so that was good news

 

[bluesky99]

Thanks GIM for helping me get a better understanding of PMs. Was waddling along, stumbled across GIM, and now I am waddling much faster!

I lurked for 3-4 years before I registered and began posting. I didn't want to speak until I knew what I was talking about.

Hey that never stops me from posting.
