There was a time....long since passed into the mists....when the eBay comics chatboard was all sparkly and new.

 

TimDrake72 was there.

 

So was Stupidman.

 

And Comicsgirl showed up.

 

And then there was Dubbl-T.

 

Gwentleaf made his way there.

 

And the Rabid Badger...

 

Before the CGC boards. Before CBR boards. Before CPG boards, Before STL. Before Valiantfans.

 

And.

 

It.

 

Was.

 

Magic.

 

:cloud9:

 

... and RCheli

 

Catrick339

 

JMG3637

 

fingfangfoom

 

skypinkblu

 

Catskillcomics

 

Yep, many of us migrated here from the eBay Comics Chat Board. (Which no longer exists, by the way.) It certainly was a fun place in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Apparently Don is a man ahead of his time, he was Ltcfan (LockedThreadChallenge) long before it was fashionable.

Chucked. Ignored. It's a rocky road when a few on here feel that they set the standards what acceptable behavior is for the group.

 

Actually, that is exactly what society in general and a "community" does. Speaking out against scammers, rude sellers, guys with shady morals, sociopaths or those that cross way over the line and defend it by saying they were "joking" and showing no remorse (and their buddies that defend them) is not setting the standard for the group no matter how cool their books are.

 

'Cool books' has been a small group's rallying cry for a little while now. But it seems to be the same people trying to use that to stir the pot versus trying to better the forum.

 

But that's okay. They'll either get over it - or they won't. There are better things to focus on.

 

;)

 

What's worse, the "cool books" rallying cry or the willful ignoring of reprehensible behavior because of the promise of said cool books? Amazing isn't how a person's past transgressions are magically forgotten because they pimp sweet comics to people. The "cool books" meme wouldn't exist if not for a few problem children. Let's put the blame where it belongs.

Before you all go pointing at cool books people (and I by no means am pointing to you, Pat I'm saying this in general), I know of at least one person who spoke up who was just questioning what happened. He doesn't collect the books that the meme person sells.

 

The person is a great guy, and sometimes, people say things that might get them tossed in a pot with others.

 

It's OK, to disagree, or question. I'd be sad if no one did.

 

My problem was with the artist...who I hope got help during his hiatus and if that did happen and he learned something...

 

I certainly wouldn't fault someone for learning they made a mistake...a bad mistake.

 

Not sure if that happened, I'm saying "if".

 

All this shunning stuff and cool books stuff can be a bit JHS and it can rope perfectly innocent bystanders in by accident.

 

I really believe it's important to have a community feel here.

 

I also believe that we don't all have to see things the exact same way...and thank goodness, because there are a lot of Marvel lovers here and I'd hate to be shunned as a DC collector;)

I hear what you're saying, but if someone doesn't think they made a mistake...how can they learn from it?
