The old "Classic Threads in CGC Forum History" got deleted for unknown reasons.Luckily, Google archived it here. I fixed the formatting as best as I could.

I'll start with the obvious from my original time on the boards. The "Jason Ewert gets busted trimming comics and gets banned by CGC" thread.

I don't have a link but epic funny was the restoration guy who advertised he could remove drawn on dongs from covers. Complete with pictures. Every once and a while someone will post the golf cover. Link anyone?

 

Someone who remembers this do a search for it and post a link here. This must have been when I was on hiatus. lol

 

Link for the lazy!

I looked for that one before the Ewert thread but gave up when a couple of searches didn't turn it up. I'll try again. I think I still have the pic that RedHook Photoshopped of Ian and Vinny on tricycles (which we made into T-shirts). I have seen Bonds25 sport his shirt in convention photos. Classic stuff.

 

Here you go!

There were some classic Hammer threads back in the day. No one sticks out in my mind but it has been so long... Not sure how many of those threads are still around. He may be a crook but he did make for some entertaining reading popcorn.gif

 

The one that sticks out to me is where I was ripping on Matt Stanley by comparing him to comic-keys and the *spoon* came here as an anonymous poster and we figured out who he was. This is his first board appearance...he calls himself "Methuselah" in the thread, and that was his board name before it was Hammer:

Here's one of the classics. Not a controversy thread. But, one of the alltimers for sure:

 

Crisis on Infinite Message Boards (TPB Edition)

 

I posted the TPB version for quicker read.

Thanks for the info. \(thumbs u

He's deleted from the user list, and I'm not tracking that one down.

That's just great. Asking Tom Brulato what he owns! lol

 

 

No one asked him. He just came in & started swinging his big comic around. lol

 

Total toolbox

 

He didn't last long on here with 12 posts. Interesting way to join a forum. hmlol

Just got through the Ewert fiasco. Having been around only 3 years into serious collecting, stories like these are a real eye opener.

 

Glad to have such resources like this forum around.

 

Thanks to everyone who contributes to the hobby (worship)
