  1. 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 Pretty much. May as well just throw a swastika up too and say that no free speech is permitted. This thread and topic are just so ridiculous. Stop crying, use the ignore feature, everyone is happy. Grinder shrink that stinkin spidey picture though!
  2. Tomorrow I will be starting a very large sales thread. It will have some books from every era, single books, lots, and maybe a modern slab or 2. Alot of modern stuff though. All of my current runs have to go, so I can make room for the baby..
  3. Personally October. I have always liked your posts in the GA forum, you seem to have a good amount of knowledge of the hobby. And have brought alot of books I would have never otherwise seen, which makes things interesting.
  4. Good thing it got lost because the whole thing shouldnt have happened anyways (thumbs u I like it better when this place is fun Then step away for a moment, take a deep breath, and come back with a banana dance! David I created the banana dance party! :banana: :banana:
  5. Good thing it got lost because the whole thing shouldnt have happened anyways (thumbs u I like it better when this place is fun
  6. That graemlin look like it should be the "surprise sex" graemlin face... Why so serious? ditto, lighten up. It was a joke
  7. So basically I would read some people as being me? Just wondering since you replied to my post? And I really hope that is not the case as my posts have been very low with graemlin, and mostly replying or starting topics, which I still feel there are alot of available. But they arent generally viewed in the FS forum. Now if you REALLY want something to read, go see that ROBOJOJO33 actually posted in the gold comics forum.
  8. I think it's time for "JC example time" where I bump selling threads non-stop to prove a point that should be obvious to anyone smarter than a snail. If the point is going to be to pizz people off and get a strike you are more then an example. You are the standard Seriously just think about it. Because I havent had a thread in quite some time because the derailment was too much. I am beginning one tomorrow and will be quite clear about anything that pizzes me off. Via PM of course. (thumbs u
  9. I agree with this but remember that some of these people that no longer post in any other forums used to a lot at one time... I do disagree with people JUST using these forums for revenue and not offering anything else substantial. R. And THAT was the point of everything I said. And just because you used to post and now just sell doesnt make things that much better. I feel better when knowing someone is genuinely trying to offer books t help complete sets, maybe need money urgently, wanna unload old books that dont fit a focus. Its is really never ending. But when anything you have posted is in the FS forum, its kind of insulting. I certainly prefer to buy from a member who wants to contribute more than just books for sale. I have often bought a cheap book just because I like the guy and know he is trying to raise $$ for another book. Tit for tat. I don't think we should tell people that are just here to sell that we don't want them, not that it is our call. There are some quality guys who are here to sell and I appreciate the quality books they bring to the board. Respect the wishes of the OP/seller and things should go smooth. I agree and I dont. I just think some people take advantage. And can just be downright jerks about it.
  10. 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. No I didnt. you are mising the point of it being the sellers decision if he wants the activity stopped. Not anyone elses. I guess being courteous no longer counts. You and I are not really on opposite sides here. I get annoyed also when trying to read a thread and it is just pages of yapping and graemlins and I cant find books. But I am just trying to say if it is not my thread its not my call. That make more sense?
  11. Oh and Kudos to Doiby Dickles for the Batman 121 1sr Mr.Freeze And Whet for some really cool GA books!
  12. Kudos to Bronzilla for a sweet Hulk 180, and a sweet Hulk 182 freebie to tide me over til' I get a HG. Kudos to Flaming Telepath for a great All-Flash #2 time payments required on my part. Kudos to Billy Parker for a Sweet All-Flash slab Kudos to Baton for a great Detective slab.

  16. So I broke down and read everything. Real classy stuff. So it goes from a discussion about excessive graemlin use to telling Grinder he is a bum, always looking for handouts, and basically a POS. This just really disgusts me. If you dont like someone ignore them. If you dont like what someone is doing in YOUR thread PM them. If the guy who started the thread said nothing, dont assume position of the police and start a fight. Seriously. You dont like the graemlins, dont use them. But 90% of the time it makes as much sense as posting some random words of BS. How about we just allow posting of and PM sent from now on. Why bother speaking in the threads. Have a question PM them. Not buying anything? Move along. WTF! You guys have crossed some lines here.
  17. Glad you like them Gav (thumbs u Always a pleasure dealing with you
  18. Yes, but in a slightly different context . . . anywho, let me rowse the rabble I never even pay attention to the announcement thread as it's so useless to me. Guess there are a lot of sales I'm missing out on. It's where the Sharks hang out . . . Accurate (thumbs u
  19. Man you guys are really going nuts for these books. The Black Terrors are very cool IMHO. Have fun!
