  1. Glad you are safe. I heard about this on the news this morning. F5 tornado that was on the ground for over 225 miles!
  2. I wouldn't doubt it. The impact of this is huge. Absolute show scrambling to get in front of this today.
  3. Pretty severe exploit found today. Likely some emergency downtime to patch the servers. The boards run on Apache which is highly vulnerable to this. https://www.wired.com/story/log4j-flaw-hacking-internet/
  4. They did a nice job with the robots.txt file A few basic searches that include cgc boards + search term returns good results including descriptions about the thread. Definite improvement! Searching for cgc + search term still returns results but less accurate. It's going to take some time, but progress for sure.
  5. There were a few moments in my life that really defined the comic collector I am now. I've always been a voracious reader. Anytime we went to a department store when I was a kid, if I disappeared, my mom knew she would simply need to find the book section and there I would be. When I was 5, I fell and broke a previously fractured arm that had a bone cyst in it. Initially it was diagnosed at the age of 2+ but my arm needed to grow and develop so they held off until I officially broke it. Anyways, I remember a boy in a neighboring bed at Children's Hospital in Boston had lost a leg. He always had comic books and can recall being fascinated and wanting to read my own. At this age, my parents would only allow the cartoon books but you take what you can get. Fast forward to around 9 years old at summer camp. One of the older kids had a suitcase full of older ASM. I specifically remember ASM #73 and wanting soooo bad to be able to read them. Being a little kid, they wanted nothing to do with me. This was the key point led me to really start buying books off the rack. We would go on camp trips to the Cape Cod mall and there was a grocery store that I would buy books off the spinner rack . For years after this, I would write (yes write) letters to a kid I collected with about what books we had bought recently. I can even recall picking up Iron Man 100 at Penn Station on a family trip and reading it multiple times on the train ride. The third noteworthy part of my collecting story came around the age of 19/20. During high school I stopped collecting. I was more interested in the party and girls so comics got put on the back burner. I would still pick up the occasional comic but it was random. In college I met a great friend that is the owner of my current LCS. When he put the Perez run of the New Teen Titans in front of me, I was hooked again. I've been mostly non stop since 1985 with the exception of 88/89 -93 where I needed to choose paying rent over comics .
  6. So sad, his run on the Teen Titans is what brought me back into comics during college. Truly a great.

  8. I've been logged out more frequently lately but logged out of both the main site and the boards.
  9. Creeping closer to a run from 30 up through the Byrne run (someday I'll consider <30). For silver I need 16 issues to complete from 40-93 plus another 8 in the 30's. I already have all the keys from that run with the exception of maybe #46. I should likely upgrade my 49 at some point though. Bronze (pre-Byrne) I only need 29 with mostly everything over 160 is all OO that I bought off the spinner racks The Byrne run I just need 28 issues. Lol, that was high school so I was chasing girls instead. I also have a good chunk of post Byrne from the 80's. At the end of the day, that's 81 issues for a run from 30 up to 314. I do want to target the silver first before any movie announcement get's made as I think we'll see prices jump quite a bit. My three latest pick-ups
  10. Strangely enough this has not happened to me since my last post in this thread on Nov. 18th. I am occasionally logged out, but have not been logged into the main site either so the login link works for me. I do use a bookmark for access and have a tab open in Safari on my iPhone at all times.
  11. I would suggest a restraining order, these things never go well.
  12. Thankfully retconned, that whole story really pissed me off. https://www.cbr.com/spider-man-kindred-rewrites-sins-past/
