These boards have already driven off Don Rosa and Neal Adams.

What else could go wrong?

That’s why I said it should be moderated, questions pre screened, comments filtered. Who knows Chuck well enough to bring this to his attention?

The only "last thread" I was involved in was Brulato and I was just trying to point out that he was actually the ultimate 🐳and we should give him some room 🤣

I seem to recall a bit of that thread here, but was it any better than the one that the "Dentist" was here for, short as that visit might have been?

I would love to see a forum where the Dentist could reply to questions about the Hawkeyes with fake Mile High coding.

Has anyone ever asked Chuck to join these boards? Would love to him answer specific questions about the acquisition and subsequent sale of various books from the Church collection. It could be moderated to avoid having it go off the rails, maybe have questions submitted in advance that he could respond to. Would make for one hell of a thread.

Why would he want to? With all the taunting and abuse he has taken over the years about the Church collection and his personal life. What does he owe us?

Sadly, too many old time dealers and collectors that are still around refuse to frequent this forum.

I have talked to a number of them and most just don’t want to be bothered any more. Rosa and Adams as well as Beerbohm were fried here. I talked Redbeard into coming on but he gave up quickly. The others just don’t want to deal with it.

I would love to hear the stories, fun finds and more about the early days but our history is sadly fading away…

I don’t get the hesitation at all. Made it pretty clear about prescreening questions, filtering comments so as to avoid any negative commentary so with that in mind there really is no excuse unless he just doesn’t feel like it. Free marketing and invaluable insight that can be recorded. Too many times stuff gets ignored and the decades later we are left speculating about who, what when and how. The October, November debate for MC #1 is a perfect example. How on earth do we not know with certainty what went down for such a landmark time in this hobby, it’s just mind boggling.

Bah humbug, no special treatment. If you have nothing to hide why would you need such protection?  The sandbox seems to work just fine as is.

Edit -

Step 1 - don't bother them. They already have the entire forum on ignore.
