Old Forum. Reliable, Dependable, Memorable. 
 

I forgot all about those star ratings!
But now remembering when the 'powers-that-be' nuked them & many folks were pizzed.

Still here as well. Anyone remember Bugaboo? Hilarious stuff if you didn't take him too seriously. Then there was the time when we had an actual writer, do a story with all us members in it.

Duh still here to be honest in my day the Boards were where you get all the news all the fun threads that were posted really ment something and the chatter was everywhere.  I miss those days calling out people like Comic-Keys and more!  Friday Melt downs threads that went into 50 pages in one day

 

I think the like buttons have taken the place of conversation on the board. Instead of posting a written reply that may lead to more conversation, people just click the like button on a post and threads dwindle out.

Ok @Mutie Fan my “like” above was a joke.

there are approximately 395 pages of Gold topics dating back to 2003. I’m reading them all and by doing so am dropping in on approximately 20 year old conversations. It’s like a sci fi movie where the crew has all disappeared, but the dinner is laid out on the table and the coffee is still warm. 
 

it’s a fascinating trip backwards, and I’m learning the thoughts and the personalities of boardies long gone. Every now and then, if I’ve got something to say, I’ll bump an old thread. Boardies I thought had long gone will emerge blinking and scratching and saying “who dare disturbeth my sleep!!” And I’ve had the privilege to talk to “some of the old boardies who are still around”. Their 20 year old conversations reveal a sort of timeless knowledge and humor. 

it’s a deep dive I think many here would find fascinating

Nice way to put it. There is some tremendous knowledge and insight from all kinds of collectors here on the boards ready to be unearthed.
(if only the search function actually kinda... functioned)
And it's always a pleasant surprise when someone new arrives on the boards with new info and perspective.

Honestly, the “new” Boards came at a tough time for me when I was moving/relocating then came kid #2 a short time later…then moving again…then starting a new job… But, the new format. The reason I started the Noob Guide was I felt so lost in the beginning and spent a lot of time figuring things out. The new format just felt overwhelming. But I need to start coming around and lurking. I missed seeing a lot of these familiar “faces”.

My post count is still low, but been on the boards officially since October 2006. A lot of good memories, and sad times….
Amazed at how quickly time goes by.

I still have everything in a Photobucket folder as well as hard drive backup.  I am guessing 1.8-2K images and animations that

mostly span 2007-2014.  I also have most of the boardie pictures posted during that time period.  

It would be wonderful if you created a thread to archive them here.
