That sounds like you're harassing a new member needlessly. He may be having language problems, we don't know the full story, nor should we unless it fits into the categories we monitor. Otherwise, it's just idle gossip. 

It's also not 'unusual behaviour.' it's an enthusiastic new member with many questions, excited to have the help of members with more knowledge than him, and wanting to utilise that knowledge to the fullest. There's no harm in it for now. We should be aiding and nurturing him, not slapping down the handcuffs. 

Im not new here maybe i have to put my old profile pics again, i will do it.lol

First im here since more than 9 month, next can you be more explicit with your first sentence its hard to me to understand it well because of the language, english is not easy for me, i think you spoked about the thread in: you want to buy? Lol. I do nothing wrong on this place, by the unspecific charachter of my post i logically received a lot of answer and i cannot give a positive answer to everyone...

Apart from that, i will calm down on the quantity of my post no problem, using my time to read comics will be probably much more useful than spend it here...

All my excuses guys. Bye.

Post what you want.  Do not pay attention to him.  You have not done anything wrong.

I think there might be some rules about starting too many threads at the same time in one forum. I see at least 4 separate threads of yours on the first page of Comics General all within the last day. 

@CGC Mike ?

 

Of those 4...

2 were from yesterday, 1 was from Sunday, 1 was from Friday.  You know they get moved to the front page when someone replies, right?

Anyway, thank God we have forum police to stifle newcomers.

I can fully imagine what would happen if I had 4 threads on page one of Comics General. Can you? lol

We're they created this morning?

Or a year ago and replied to this morning?

There's a difference.

If they were interesting topics about comic books, especially topics that haven't been covered before...why would anyone have a problem?

I know I wouldn't.

Because a lot of people don't like me? lol

There was a time when I was posting a lot more content years ago, and there was a group of people that trolled me daily just because they were annoyed that I was posting too much in their eyes. Nobody forced them to read my posts but they felt the need to complain loudly.

Some of them would post actual screenshots of a forum I was in, just to show how many replies I made in different threads and voice their displeasure.

Other times, they'd comment on how many threads I had running on one page even though they were all very active threads and fully on topic. 

As one example, I used to do these massive convention reports back in the day. They were detailed and fairly long running, full of many pictures of my trips and stories to match. People loved them and some even stated that they were their favorite threads on the CGC boards. I was actually what they'd call today an "influencer" only I did it before it became a thing. It was just good fun meant for everyone. 

A few times, I'd hit several conventions in a busy month, and even though the majority of people genuinely loved the threads because they were fun and entertaining, a few people actually complained out loud that I was dominating the forum - when in fact, people were bumping old threads out of interest. doh!

Since then, and since Arch had stated that "forum real estate" was valuable, and ALSO since I genuinely want to be fair and not annoy people, I've been very careful not to start too many threads.

Are you talking about how many sold when they were new?  If so... comichron.com

Are you talking about CGC sales?  If so... gpanalysis.com

 

Is Penguin and Lunar reporting to Comichron now?

Nope. https://comichron.com/faq/directmarketsalesdata.html

If Comichron.com doesn't have it, then it's probably not possible to get it.

just checked it out. Im confused...  What does Comichron tell us?  How does one use it?  Ids it a circulation/orders database?

 

Personally it is really useful for me, i did a search on the last books i bought, look > you just have to choose a month, a year and you have access to a fabulous ranking of the publications, the only things thats a shame is that you only can search after 2003.Screenshot_20231204-220919_Chrome.thumb.jpg.73dcc2cc8b5db660e4d382cc22bf780e.jpg

When they were reported (about 20 years between 1995 and 2015), North American first month direct orders were known.  How I would use it is for knowing the "bare minimum" number of copies of something that should exist.

See a book from 2010 that has 40,000 units on Comichron, know that at least 40,000 exist... probably more for non-North American orders, possibly more for second month orders, etc.

If someone online says "RARE" and you see 40,000 on Comichron... not rare.

You make me think about another really intersting question, what is considered as a low printing for DC and Marvel? I only ask for the big 2 because of course we cannot compare their numbers with the indepandant editors
