The old adverts are great! They are one of my favorites. I also really enjoy that the site is updated a lot, so I come back often, and your old photos in super large format are fun for a detail junky like me. What could be of extra interest to me would be more in depth looks at old phones themselves, the various models and such. Perhaps articles in a first person format about experiences with old phones, using them in the past, rebuilding them today, even hotrodding them. (Of course not everyone agrees with modifying their collected items) Info on what has become of the companies that made the phones, and even on what has happened to the old phones themselves in recent years, would be useful. I've found that a surprising number of companies still make the model 2500, itself a direct heir to the venerable model 500. It's impressive that a 1949 design is, with 1963 updates, still being produced today and even by some of the old companies right here in the US. But you don't have to do any of this to have a cool site, which it is. As for forums, I dunno what to say, I never actually thought about someone vandalizing one by uploading smut. I guess that is why other forums I've been part of require registration and a waiting period to be approved, and then a delay to see the post. Gee I should have thought about that stuff. Anyway I like your site, keep it up. Your site is a daily read for me, and while I may not comment much I’ve found it a very interesting take on collecting old phones. The old adverts are great!
