    Don't let this forum die. Post anything - You might actually be helping somebody

    There are several intros saying this is what theyd been looking for and I agree. But now it needs content to attract more members and keep them coming back. As with most sites like this, there will be people wide wide varieties of experiences - from the guy who has never been to a scrap yard (but thinks this might be some good, quick cash) to the to guy to has owned a multi-million dollar recycling yard for 30 years. But each can learn from the other. The main thing is not to ask or offer an opinion for fear of appearing dumb. I belong to another forum as an industry beginner and felt really stupid asking what an acronym meant. Come to find out, an industry leader of 20-some years had used it often, but admitted he didnt know what it meant, either. A product manufacturer finally told what it meant.



    The most common question is going to be how to get started or expand. Hopefully, over the years this will get asked 15-50 times a year and the old guys will get tired of answering it. So dont - let the younger ones take over. In the other industry, I learned more by answering than I did by asking in the beginning.

    Id even suggest to the site owner - start a section of something like Tips of the Trade.
