What happened to Wonka? I don't think he's banned as Rob D is, but I could be wrong.

I liked Clayton (teetwoohsix) but he just stopped posting years ago, not sure if something happened to him.

Anthony Stephenson. Passed in 2014, just 47 years old. A sweet fellow, funniest guy on Net54. Can't look at an Obak without thinking about him.

He had a wonderful sense of humor, and was way too young to go. I can't remember his Net54 ID, but if someone does I would love to go back through some of his posts, as I know it would make me smile.

His old posts are a hoot. He went back on the Board long enough ago to also have posted as Archive.

Thanks David...you have just given me the gift of an hour or two of his slightly off-kilter but gentle humor.

I miss posts by Barry Sloate and Julie Vognar, both great people and great sources of info on the forum.

And I'll probably get crap for this, but I actually miss the Bruces. Many of his posts were so far out, they were in. LOL Entertaining as hell at least.

How can you not love posts by someone always referring to themselves in the third-person, and who can get so upset as to threaten to sue someone for what they posted, without realizing he was the poster he was threatening to go after and sue. Still makes me laugh just thinking about it.

The funniest thing about the "Bruces" was I once posted in a thread how much I missed his posts and unknown to me, that post hit the very day he was reinstated to Net 54. Had to explain to a couple of people it was just a coincidence and nothing more. But the threat of Bruce suing himself was the classic post of all time. You know, that guy Archive was a funny fellow

I miss the posts of all of these gentlemen. The one I miss the most is Jantz. I sat next to him at dinner at Nationals and he was remarkably kind. Tragic that he passed away so young.

That is so true Rich. If there was ever a thread started about the Mt. Rushmore of Net54 posts, that would be my #1 nomination. LOL

Both (Wonka and Rob D) are banned.

Oh OK I thought when I checked Wonka's ID a while ago it didn't show him as banned but so be it.

I didn't think he was banned either Peter, I thought he sold everything (hobby related) and is no longer in the hobby.

From looking at his profile and post history, his profile doesn't show banned, but it does look like he was put in the penalty box several years ago and that was the end of his posting here.

He is now banned and I thought he already was. There were about 5 longtime members, him included, that were shown the door right after I sold my first collection. I think they were all shown the door within a few days of each other. IMO, every one needed to go, no regrets whatsoever. And a few more could actually get shown the door too for how they treated me when I sold my collection. There is one more that really needs to go. It could still happen.

Without trying to differentiate between on the board and off the board, I miss my chats with Bloomy, Keith Mitchell, Lew Lipset, Barry Sloate, and Joe Pelaez. Most of you have probably never heard of Keith, but he was an hobby pioneer who helped me immensely when I started collecting Old Judges. I miss him.

Leon, Is there a post about this? I am somewhat new so don’t know what happened when you sold.
