This isn't controversial to me they're designed for it after all"NAGB chips become truly attractive only once re-labelled"
I love this opinion. I guess I understand why people want a CPC mold to fit their theme, but considering that practically nobody worries if a top hat and cane will fit their theme, the mold doesn't have to be such an issue.It's no more idiosyncratic than a freaking top hat and cane
Correct. The various Paulson Top Hat molds just mean you are getting Paulson quality clay chips. Since most all Paulson chips have a top hat, it's inconsequential to the inlay or your custom label design.I love this opinion.

I disagree and I think you're just rationalizing a distinction that doesn't exist. But I seriously don't appreciate the whole themeing thing the way most people here do, so maybe it's just all going over my head.Correct.

But CPCs are custom from the ground up, and there are multiple molds to choose from, so for some of the molds, the mold becomes part of the theme.
Wait! I agreed with you and then you disagreed with me! WTH is going on here!I disagree and I think you're just rationalizing a distinction that doesn't exist. But I seriously don't appreciate the whole themeing thing the way most people here do, so maybe it's just all going over my head.

If I block somebody who sells (wait, is anybody actually buying) overpriced singles and bumps them constantly, will I just never have to see his crap when I click on New Posts?The crazy thing is there’s only like 3 or 4 members that consistently do this. And we probably can all name the same few members. It should be fixed!
It works! Go ignore function!If I block somebody who sells (wait, is anybody actually buying) overpriced singles and bumps them constantly, will I just never have to see his crap when I click on New Posts?
Huh, yeah, could see that. Pretty ingrained term here and may be hard to shift. Have some ideas for an alternative term?My probably unpopular opinion:
I'm sure nobody means anything by it and I'm not trying to be overly sensitive. I'm not marching in the streets over it, not telling anyone they can't say it. Maybe people think it sounds cool, no idea how that phrase came to be in this context. But as someone who has had someone very close to me murdered, every time I see that term I just feel like there has to be a better way to describe modifying chips than "murdering" them.

I dunno about 44mm scroll molds but the regular scroll molds are my least favorite. The probably feel much better at 44 though
I wouldn't worry about that for even a second. People's preferences on molds couldn't possibly be more varied. There are plenty of us that love Scroll mold. If you find it to YOUR liking that's absolutely all that matters. You will be very happy. Carry on.Why do I have to read this, after I decided that I like the Scroll Mold visually for my custom theme
Have you already paid for it? Otherwise its super standard to change your mind 147 times. Make sure to feel the mold before deciding anything, I personally don't like scroll mold either.Why do I have to read this, after I decided that I like the Scroll Mold visually for my custom theme
Fixed that for you, there. I'm only at 1293, so still a bit of room left to tweak the design...its super standard to change your mind 1475 times.
I hate to throw a spanner in the works, but have you seen @BonScot's most recent custom set? It's a similar theme and he used HHR (the cheapest and, IMO, best-feeling mold); having that consistent theme where possible just ties things together really nicely.Fixed that for you, there. I'm only at 1293, so still a bit of room left to tweak the design
I have not paid yet. It's a saloon theme. At first was sold on HHR, then visually the Scroll grew on me. Cutoff for HHR and Scroll orders is about the same time, so I have a few weeks to decide. I can post pics after getting home from work, but I'll open a thread for this and stop highjacking this one.
Have some ideas for an alternative term?
I suspect one of the reasons that term became so popular is either because so many of us are so strongly opposed to the practice and/or to mock those of us who are so opposed to it.My probably unpopular opinion:

Seems like chip mod (modification, modding} is a more descriptive term. Anyway, I can live with it, just kinda cringe when I see it.My probably unpopular opinion:

It’s difficult for me to say this without drawing some false equivalency that would be offensive and insensitive, considering your personal circumstances. So I’m sorry to do it. But based on what you just said, it seems relevant, so here goes.Seems like chip mod (modification, modding} is a more descriptive term. Anyway, I can live with it, just kinda cringe when I see it.

How about butchering?It’s difficult for me to say this without drawing some false equivalency that would be offensive and insensitive, considering your personal circumstances. So I’m sorry to do it. But based on what you just said, it seems relevant, so here goes.
When you “modify” a Paulson in most customary ways, it ceases to be a Paulson. Whether you pry and tear and rip out an inlay (which has become an unremovable part of the whole during the manufacturing process both as a security feature and a durability feature) or whether you mill off a layer of clay to eradicate a hot-stamp, you have irreparably destroyed that chip. It can never be repaired or made whole again. Some people like to stick labels on top, and call them semi-customs or, using your term, modified chips. But upon close scrutiny, they can always be identified as chips that have been destroyed and “repaired.” And again, they can never be returned to their original purpose.
So although the term is objectively distasteful (and understandably personally offensive to you) it does a better job of describing what has happened to that chip than “modding.” You could mod a Paulson by sticking a label on top of a Paulson inlay. Afterward, you or somebody else could remove that label, returning that Paulson to its original purpose. That’s different.
I’m wide open to using a different term. But I would want a term that describes the finality of what has happened to that chip better than modification.
I’m not trying to change anything here, I was just posting what I thought might be an unpopular opinion. I just personally don’t care for the term. I felt the same way when it became popular for people to use the term “murdering out” their cars. And again, I know that nobody means anything by it, but for some people it’s a reminder of unpleasant things in a setting where it’s not really needed.It’s difficult for me to say this without drawing some false equivalency that would be offensive and insensitive, considering your personal circumstances.

Your comment belongs here. FWIW, I get it.I’m not trying to change anything here, I was just posting what I thought might be an unpopular opinion. I just personally don’t care for the term.

This forum was here long before I showed up, and will be here long after I leave, i’ve been having a great time here and learned a lot. So please nobody take this as anything more than just a comment.
I’d say 12-14 chip shuffle stacksHow many chips do you need to "feel" the mold?
Just asking, because I was thinking of bringing sample sets to the next meetup and see how many people can actually identify a mold by feel only.
Of course there will be betting involved.
Operated on.I suspect one of the reasons that term became so popular is either because so many of us are so strongly opposed to the practice and/or to mock those of us who are so opposed to it.
Agreed. 4 or 5 doesn't do it, a big broken in shuffle stack is worth it to figure out how they'll feel and sound.I’d say 12-14 chip shuffle stacks
