I don't know why this reminded me of that and I know it's from these boards and not the old ones, but for the love of God and everything that is holy, don't post any **** from Chris Levy if you happen to have it...

He didn't post anything Chris, it was a thread I started about a box I sold him:
Cool story here, especially for those who go back to the old BMB's..
Last week I sold a box of 2004 Bowman Baseball Draft Picks & Prospects to a buyer. I packaged it up and sent it out quickly. I sent an email to the buyer as I always do letting them know it's been shipped out and when they can expect it. So just now I sent a follow-up email since I see the buyer...

It was what BO is now. An overly moderated clownshow led by one single tyrant with the biggest head on the planet. Hopefully BO will end the same way.

I started on BMB 8-7-03. Was off and on over the years, I know I interacted and possibly traded with many of you. Great days, then @magicpapa brought me over here after yet another short hiatus

I still lurk from time to time on here and Blowout. I think the BMB just caught lightning in a bottle and we were all at certain places in our lives and it filled a need that a lot of us don't have anymore. I was the same way on the old PSA boards and got my handful of bans over there. Now I am content to consume more content than I create.
Edit - wow look at my signature. Still looking for those cards, 13 years on.

Don't remember when I started on BMB. I remember the HUGE thread when Phil revealed himself. The thread was asking if any players were on the board, and it was 2004 so Phil's rookies were *big*. He just posted something plain like "I'm Phil Hughes". Some people believed him, some didn't, and then he put the picture up.
As for me, I severely slowed down collecting about 7-8 years ago due to money and room. Still get my annual Topps base and update sets. Picked it up a little in the last couple of years; unfortunately, I missed some REALLY good Bowman stuff. Just went through a bunch of old stuff and found my Yelich BC rookies, and a lot of other things that weren't stored where they should've been. Also going to start sending 500+ cards at a time to COMC. Would have likely been on my second already, but I've barely left the house for 5 weeks!
RIP Rich.

Gruff as hell with a heart of gold. Died in a car wreck, wouldn't wear a seat belt. Loved his family, cards, and stoogies.

I don't remember if I used the Beckett forum. IIf I did, it was probably not a lot or for too long. I have joined a number, most of them hardly posting or signing back in after the initial glow wore off. I did some trading on Beckett a long time back (in internet years), maybe 1996-99 time frame?
I recall spending most of my online forum time on the Topps message boards. When that got old, I moved mostly to The Bench and lastly, I now spend the majority of my time here. I don't see myself finding a new online home at this point, but you never know.
