There are people here who could tell you questionable stories about Overstreet himself. 

I'd like a storytime thread

I think that was Muscleshark yeah?

Who was another long time comic book dealer...

It was one of Harold Fuller's id's.  I think BucOne.  The new boards won't let me confirm the link to his id.

it must first be purified in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. 

I'm only a few minutes away from being able to perform that function.  And I live very close to Paisley Park.

That's awesome. 

 I may need to get a few bottles. Start a Purple Purification Seruim ( Blueberry Pancake Moonshine distilled from the waters of Lake Minnetonka. )

@Get Marwood & I gets a nomination from me. Has given me lots of insight, lovely person to chat with and read posts anytime he does so. I can tell he is a passionate collector and a solid person!

That's very kind of you Eric, thank you, but I don't think I fit the bill really - this thread is more about the glories of the past it seems and I've only been here a short while. Maybe if there was a thread in support of those who are contributing positively to the forum now, I might garner a nod or two from those who seek a Morrissey among the Coldplays. But let's face it, this forum has never really looked to the present has it. 

If we are to obsess over past board history however, my nomination for HOF would be @goldust40. Firstly, because he is a Brit and we should always support our own. But secondly, and more importantly, because he deserves it. Golders has been here from the start and is an exceptionally intelligent, knowledgeable and witty board member. He buys, he sells, he contributes. He laughs, he jokes, he informs and he's always positive. Always. He's never mean spirited, never gets involved in board feuds, and I have never seen him disparage anyone in the time I have been here (however deserving they may have been) or in the older threads that I have read since joining.  An unsung gentleman in every respect with a quite superb knowledge and appreciation of popular culture, music and of course comics. And his comic collection, I think, would likely make your eyes water. Not sure about his choice of Football team though, but no one is perfect. That's my vote.

Thanks for the incredibly kind words - much appreciated.

Not sure that many on this thread would agree with that praise - this is partly down to the fact that I don't go on General much these days - I guess you reach burn out eventually as many threads in CG tend to get repeated, although there are still a few threads that I check out. It's still the hub. Plus the boards, as Allan (Chromium - another old fart) once said have fragmented and compartmentalized over the years. 

I'm mainly in the GA Forum or the WC, which is ironic as in the early days here I would avoid that section. I also did get into it with certain boardies back in the day, but nearly all of them are no longer here, and haven't been for many years. I realized early on that it wasn't me to have the sort of board persona who'd get into flame wars. There are one or two OBs (original boardies) who are still lurking around. In the first few years the boards were far less strictly moderated - a lot of behavior back then would never be tolerated now, and to be honest that's fine.

The only thing I'd say is that this is my preferred place on the internet, and that I am a supremely nerdy old fart.

I do contribute, but there are folks on here who have added more to the place - nik (of course), sckao, FFB (ultra-opinionated, but very sharp), tth2 (ditto), greggy (for being a board mascot and putting up with endless put-downs and barbs), and those curmudgeonly old gits Watson and Flaming_Telepath (I miss those blokes here). Not to mention GG and Bangzoom for their contributions in the GA section.

But my pick for the HOF would be Flee Marquette, primarily for this hallowed thread, which has the  Rifleman spoof with Bedrock and Dale Roberts.

Oddly enough I was just checking out  this thread when you did. 

My first posts on the forum, that thread was.

And as for Beerbohm, whatever you may think of him, there would never have been this thread, which is my all-time favourite on this forum. Should be mandatory reading.

And as for Cal, well, he's been threatening to leave for some time now.  But he's still here to enlighten us.

Well enough of the Oscar nominations. I've had my moments and I've been here for getting on for two decades but I'd pick many of those boardies over me.

I’d have to throw skypinkblu’s hat into the ring. A very long time member. Not only is she so well versed in the deep pit called GA, but she is just a remarkable person as well. Anytime a boardie is in trouble, she is among the first to jump in and help. She has a heart of gold. Her amazing efforts this year have handmade a ton of masks that she has donated to kids here and in her community. A true labor of love and caring. These boards are a better place because of her.

Yep, should've added her to my list.

I appreciate the sentiment.  It means a lot coming from the greatest front man in rock music.

[F For Fake]

While a fun conversational exercise, an actual Boardie HoF seems like something that would potentially cause some hurt feelings, suspicion, contentiousness, and all of the stuff that we'd ultimately like to avoid. 

However, the idea of a memorial thread, who could argue with that? A nice little pinned "Valhalla" for the Boardies who aren't with us anymore. I think that's a swell idea.
