We had one heck of a community for over a decade and now this place is just kind of, different. I miss when this place was really about collecting. Those days are gone @The Resurrection. It's all arguing over AF15 and threads about terrorism nowadays. You could always take a look at some of my threads if you want. They're about collecting. Unfortunately though, about things only I collect. Or so it would seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that's left are newbs and troglodytes with zero frame of reference. TheFifthHorseman and RockMyAmadeus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I get off your lawn? People were complaining how much the boards sucked 8 years ago compared to the “good old days”. I do agree there appear to be more than a few churn and burn type members now, but there are also some longtime members that don’t realize they’ve overstayed their welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1950's war comics Posted October 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2017 Compared to just a few years ago these boards are greater than ever! many of those who have left believed they were entitled to bash any and all new members due to their longstanding time on the boards there were no repercussions for those entitled members for this behavior except strikes that disappeared every year so bash away they went ,..sometimes nearly every post... the results is that they drove away the much needed new lifeblood that all on-line communities need.... The CGC chat boards are GREATER THAN EVER !! FoggyNelson, Steviehuv66, nepatkm and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is different and for better or worse it's been changing for years. The changes reflect what's going on in the hobby. Hot books; keys; great flips; cold books; improvable books; crack and resubmit; money; more money. I think it's still the best place online to talk about comics and there are still a lot of great boardies but yes, it's changed. oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
