Random thoughts - 4 years on., by Deleted on Jan 12, 2011 23:27:00 GMT 1, What happened to the moderators full stop?
Personally I miss the arbitrary commentary which if in existence today would cut a lot of the crap. It shouldn't be up to the community to self police necessarily.
I first joined the forum in May 2006 I think and threw my toys out and resigned and rejoined. Personally, I've learnt a lot, viewed some great art on 'my latest art buy' and my walls have been adorned by some great art.
I've sold some too - on the basis that if the buyer ever sells I get first refusal. This agreement has been honoured and in my hall I have Shep's WBN, which was 'loaned' to someone for 2 years before it came back.
The forum is a great place, sure there's more bad apples than in 2006 but things change.

Random thoughts - 4 years on., by pezlow on Jan 13, 2011 9:37:04 GMT 1, Ah thanks guys, but I didn't mean this to turn into a love in.
Been giving a lot of thought to the direction my collection will go in, in the future. None of these thoughts are I suspect particularly novel.
I think I've come to terms with the fact that I am addicted to buying art. It is like a drug for me (and I suspect for quite a few others on the forum). Unlike a drug however I don't believe it does me any harm, indeed I think it enriches my life more than anything else.
However I do need to try and stop buying the "quick fixes" - i.e. the latest print release that (if I'm honest with myself) becomes portfolio fodder even before the money has left my account, invariably to gather dust in my portfolio or to be sold on (often at a loss).
Fewer purchases, often with a bit more of a personal touch, is I think the future. I've recently bought 3 paintings - one by vermin and 2 small watercolours by an artist I have long admired - Elinor Evans. Buying them has given me more pleasure than adding a print to a cart and that is where I am going in the future.....

Well put, I've only realised this myself recently. Having said that the number of purchases each year is falling quite a bit and I envisage far more sales than buys in 2011

" (remember the ongoing Nola thread a while back - the price went from 2-3k to around 4.5k by the end of the thread LOL!!) and that brings in another classic ,someone posted the other day regarding all the hype/bull shit that gets floated around said its similar to a 'pyramid scheme'!! I enjoy the forum & I try not to get involved in the squabbles and I have only been banned for slating MR BRian Wash works.
