  1. BIG KAHUNA KUDOS TO ADAM (FILTER81) FOR THE SWEET ASM 4 AND FOR EXPRESS MAILING IT OUT TO ME
  2. He was either 52 or 53 in "75" . He does look younger, but looks more like an old time porn star. I wonder what REALLY went on in Stan's Bullpen! Anybody else hear Stan's voice in your head when you read something by him...or is it just me his right hand is not completely shown but i'm sure it's signing some book he either wrote, drew or read hes left handed
  3. 3. removing the image when posting the 4. removing the image for and and and and so on and so on
  4. Then he would have to remove the image-posting capacity as well, so easy to hotlink to off-site graemlins... Great idea. Then we don't have to scroll through countless posts of people quoting the same image. No graemlins, no images....hell let's just stop posting so we can be sure no one is offended or bothered by anything. (thumbs u Grinder shrink that stinkin spidey picture though!

  6. Look at it this way. You own a brick and mortar store. You have people in your store who are browsing and buying. In comes a guy who asks you a question about having item X. You say no. He frowns and (maybe he has bought in the past) walks around the store interrupting your customers by yelling out at the top of his lungs every 5 minutes. The every 2 hours yells out again you are having a sale. Maybe he waits in line with nothing to buy just to say high ocassionally. The first time it's amusing, after the 5th or 35th time it gets annoying I am going to respond to this and try to remain even on it. IF you owned a brick and mortar store, you would likely ask this person to leave. I stated in my initial post that if the SELLER does not like this activity in his thread HE should PM the offending party, and have it resolved. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that the ComicGrinder would stop if asked nicely. Now with that being said we will move into a whole new discussion. The forum sales are a good place for the members here to buy and sell books. I think it is great that a number of members do this. What I dont like is the LEACHING. Too many find this as a great flipping grounds and the equal of setting up an Ebay store. If you honestly believe this to be a way to bring in income, then I do not approve. You have opted for fish in a barrel.. While it is as I stated a gret place for collectors. The people who realistically only post here to sell books are just taking advantage. To come in here with every new tack of submissions, and quote GPA is really not cool IMO. IF you wanted to offer forum members a decent deal, or unload some extras thats one thing. But too many treat this place like their own personal site. This is a generally light-hearted site, and people are very friendly IF you want to be strictly business by all means take your books to Ebay and post in the other forum offering a link. But to come here and demand that people treat this forum like your own personal store is more BS that many of us just deal with. Do you honestly think people havent caught on to this stuff?? You basically equate to the childhood term of USER by this action. And I think that many who have taken this stance have seen the drop in activity in their threads. This is and will hopefully remain a fun place. So stop the bytching and moaning like a bunch of brats and deal with it. I deal with people who just come here to make money, you guys can learn to deal with us poking fun at you and having some laughs. This whole conversation should never have taken place. But people who abuse the selling forum IMO by just coming here to post books, and have no ACTUAL input in the other forums are just not my kind of folks. You guys wanna Krap where you eat, thats fine. Just realise people will start to understand your whole motivation to be here. This post is not directed towards anyone in particular as I consider both Grinder and Arex to be good people. You completely missed the point of the post. Completely. Nosie can hurt as much as help. CGC allows people to post books for sale. Mama has decided thats good for us. If someone wants to bump a thread or comment on a book I thinks that great and admirable. Just know when enough is enough. It's not just blue's thread we are talking about here. If it was JUST blue's thread this would have been a non-issue. and i have had quite a few PM from sellers on these boards expressing to me in the last 24 hours not to take what you guys are complaining about to heart as they dont mind me chatting or bumping their threads in the least bit. I stay out of your sales threads and always have.

The first time it's amusing, after the 5th or 35th time it gets annoying your over exaggerating in this case....check the time stamps on my posts before you guys started bad mouthing me. I replied to a couple of posts and made obvious friendly bumps when his thread hit the bottom of the page. BIG DEAL! If you dont like me ignore me, if you want to bad mouth me thats fine to, but get your facts straight . Now picture this with every store on the block. give me a break....a lot of people post in everyones threads, but I am the only one you see I guess. Such a crock.
