What was the culture of this forum a decade ago?

lost 25 minutes I'll never get back - except - Leon's quote "You don't see me running an auction, do you? " and figuring out that adding an "S" to Peter's name spells chaos...................

I suspect the forum was much gayer before my arrival.Dave.

Ahh the old Crandall and Saucier party. How did that whole Kevin as the grade master general of all TPGs work out again I forget?

I'm pretty sure all of Jim's cards are now double slabbed.

BTW, he did start getting his cards re-graded, right after PSA announced the .5 grades. I remember him bragging about all the bumps he was getting on his cards.

Kevins posts actually were quite interesting. I see he still posts quite a bit on CU.

The forum used to have and still does to a much less extent...quite a bit of angst. I remember it being quite intimidating for newbies trying to learn all of the abbreviations and slang I now take for granted. The board was not real gentle on new posters. Fortunately that has changed.

I actually remeber reading through quite an involved thread on some intimate details of a particular set that I was interested in and had no idea what the hell they we're talking about. I've come a long way since then.

And yes Chao with an S at the end spells Chaos. He was an interesting poster. He had a good heart but perhaps lacked much in basic social graces.

Popups, lots of popups. And then more popups.

It was also before everyone realized that T206s are the only worthwhile cards.

If you were a newbie, you read more and posted less.

But then there were the popups.

What are popups? Is that like this "instant message" thing my wife talks about?

Kevin was banned from CU years ago, they even pulled all his SMR articles. He never went back on with an alt.
The only place he posts these days is Facebook.

What he got banned from a place or had a hard time on another board that I don't belong too? I'm trying to figure out why that happened I'm sure it's my fault somehow you know ol' evil Wonkaticket etc.

Yes probably old posts or the FC board. Sorry to hear about his wife which has now been the focus of his time...which is as it should be.
