Happy 7 month Birthday #SteemSilverGold group - Little History about #364
- Encourage members to produce quality content.
- Ensure members are rewarded for great content.
- Ensure Steemit is a go-to place for precious metals news, analysis and more.
- Ensure that the community becomes significant here on Steemit.
It was in the comments section that @missiontothemoon came up with the idea for everyone to use a tag and suggested #steem-silvergold. So now we know who came up with the tag for the group.
The 20th June 2017 - steemsilvergold is born
In a post the very next day the #steemsilvergold group was born and had 20 members as it's starting point. A group of people who had shown interest in the comments section of the of the idea post the day before. The post outlined the groups suggested goals and targets going forward, how the join the community and what we were to do to grow as a group. Please see below a list of the first 20 members of the group, it looks to me at a glance thats it 50/50 between gone and still here. We have a few OG's. If you are interested in seeing hgmsilvergold's post please click me to see that.

Growth, changes and losing our leader
The group grew quickly and soon had over 100 members then hgmsilvergold seemed to be busy with other things. This was around the time i joined the group and started to use the tag. He seemed to just fade out and stopped posting around 4 months back and has made no reply's are comments in over 2 months but will always remain on the members list should he make a return. During this time @phelimint created Stax and we decided that Stax would pick up people using the tag and add them to the membership list. There were posts made and 3 mods picked by the community to sort things out for the group. We picked @phelimint for his hard work with Stax, me for taking care of the membership list and discord and @raybrockman because he is an OG and gives so much to the community, he helps new members and does some great community posts. A few things have changed have changed within the past 7 months but the core idea of the group has always stayed the same. Produce great silver and gold content, support each other as a community and become the number 1 stacking group on steemit.
Going forward how knows? We are 150ish strong now with alot of committed members and a good foundation to work from. I am just happy that i was able to find this group very quickly after signed up with Steemit and even if hgmsilvergold is not around anymore, still thankful to him for getting the ball rolling.
big up #steemsilvergold members

I seen that you had made the first membership list for the group and i still use the same logo as the thumb picture every update. I wish i had more time to write the post as i missed a bunch of stuff out.
I love the steemsilvergold community. Some amazing coins and pours shared by lots of different member. Plus all the giveaways and comps. It’s been so inspirational. I don’t have the financial resources to stack away PM like some folks here but you’ve all motivated me to start. I bough a few of the Steem rounds, recovered my old boyhood coin collection, bought a 100 year Beersheba proof coin and my younger Bro gave me a Canadian Maple for Christmas. Plus this week I bought my first 1kg silver bar for my 50th birthday this week. Will do a silversunday post about it latter today.
Nice. A kilo of silver in your hand. I have some 10 oz bars on the way; but a kilo. Damn :)
kilo bar's! I wish i had a kilo bar. I'll be looking forward to that post :)
It's lovely dear , thanks for sharing .
Namaste

Its nice to see in this post how the community evolved over time. People come and go because this thing called “life”.. Thank you @silverstackeruk for all the work you do..
I always thought the group was around for 6 months before i joined up until i found this out today. I will continue to do what i do :)
Stack on buddy !
Nice background man, I'm surprised it only started the end of June, when I joined in mid July it seamed to be well established although even then process the join was kinda confusing but so was all of steemit for me then... lol.
We must have joined around the same time. I thought the same, i thought it was up and running a few months at least when i joined up. I think there were around 80 on the membership list. Onwards and upwards :)
Great Post @silverstackeruk - You are a TRUE asset to the #steemsilvergold community ;-)
