Welcome to the Experts Forum

This is a private forum for the experts. Registration at Network 54 is required and applications must be approved. Non-approved people can not even read the messages.

What is an expert? They are sort of hard to define, but you know them when you see them.

Most items should still be posted on the main forum at Handcuffs.Org, but feel free to use this forum anyway you like.

Please don't mention this forum in the regular forum. If you know of others who have not yet joined, but who should, then send them a private email with the URL. I have no plans on rejecting memberships, but I don't want to have all of the crazies posting here.

Your suggestions are most welcome. I can actually set some of these controls on the main forum. The easiest thing to do would be to require log-ins there, but I don't really want to restrict things that much. What are your ideas?



Cheers and have fun.
Joe

Thanks Joe for opening this secret Forum for true collectors only.

Thanks for the new Forum. I posted a report on the Indianapolis Lock Show, but it disappeared. I probobally just previewed it and didn't press respond. I will try again later.
Some suggested names to be here besides the ones you already know.

Thanks, Joe, for setting up this private forum. It will be so nice to be rid of the riff-raff when I need to post something for the really serious collectors, and read the other's meaningful posts without having to weed through the unnecessary stuff like what's in the original forum.

With appreciation,
Phil

Hi Joe, thanks for both inviting me along and for setting up the seperate forum.

Dear Joe and Fellow Experts,

Not all, just some...the craziest, perhaps.

I invited Matt Forte.

Cheers,

Thanks, Joe. I'm on board.

We can be dignified here (boy, am I ever going to have to work hard!). It's also going to be nice to be able to discuss things we're reluctant to on the Main, like values.

Jack, Matt's a great guy, always quick to help with info. Good choice, hope he joins.

Joe, I did not think it was possible to top the regular forum, but you have prevailed once again.
It will be nice to discuss our hobby in a professional manner without all the bickering and garbage that was growing like a cancer.
I realize that for our hobby to grow we need to provide the new collectors enough information on restraints and the resources that will allow them to find others to sell and trade with.
The regular forum provides these needs very adequately. I hope that it will continue to be an important asset to the new collector as well as serving us, the more advanced hobbyist.
This forum is like Tac 1 or a tactical channel and will allow us to get into a more involved discussion that is not possible on the regular channel.
It will be interesting to see how this forum evolves. There are some people that will probably be members here, but there is little chance that they will be able to keep it civil.
I am optimistic that this will be a great forum even with some of the glitches.
Lets make sure Joe Fox and the Cannons know about this new development. I should be seeing them at the Magic Castle this weekend.

Glad to see you in this forum. I just want to say Thanks! for keeping such a great web site. I have used it extensively for researching cuffs since I started collecting a few years ago.
