My first post in months got deleted. It was pretty funny.
I'm just sad that Mike (200lb) isn't around any more.

I'm not easily offended so no one really bothers me. I don't get upset if someone disagrees with me or whatever. They are entitled to their opinion too, even though they are wrong. I've never had someone harass or troll me or posts, so I can't speak from experience. If I did have that I would just ignore/block them. I never saw anything wrong with Posey or Stras. Then again I didn't read every single post or see what mods may be privy to. Posts are posts and they make traffic. If I see a thread I'm not interested in I don't post. It's not life or death and people need to take boards less serious. You can't tell emotion or the person's exact point from reading. Like a book, some posts are interpreted by the reader. Everyone interprets different.

There are lots of amazing folks that have disappeared! I'm not going to pick a favorite but the interactions started here have allowed me a great opportunity to interact with these people beyond cardboard!

To follow up Clint, I probably converse with Will [MENTION=1888]JoshHamilton[/MENTION] now more than when he was here.
I wish justinmandawg and Kevbo were back as well.

Last I saw him was during the blow-up in the free to go home upper thread when he flew off the handlebars - but it was warranted because that thread was always a sh!t show and he is such a great member. Wonder if that chased him away? Timing matches I believe.

I will say that without FCB/BMB , there are a ton of guys I would have never met or become friends with. Email / Texting a bunch of them a day.
I would love for all to come back one day. But I do know a bunch are busy and dont really do much with cards anymore.

Honestly, some of the members mentioned here helped to run off some of the other members mentioned here.
We all understand that HOS threads can help to increase traffic, but it's short term. It's like the people who rubberneck at a car accident, they move on after they get their look.
A solid user base will do better than some attention seeking ******. People just need to realize that they can help as well. Make threads, make posts, be active. If there's something you would like to talk about, know more about, or just want to throw something out there, do it. The worst thing that could happen is you start a conversation. So what if your thread only gets a couple of replies, maybe the next one will do better.
On top of that, be nice to new members. Don't just jump on them if they post in the wrong spot or ask something you think is stupid. Be helpful and maybe they'll stay. Maybe they'll even tell a friend or two and they join.

My question is have we replaced any of the people that are missed with people that will make a similar mark on the group?
I say no and we never will. I don't say no to be a dick but because we share so much history with those that are not active and we romanticize over their ways and mannerisms that we cannot replace them. Regardless of how awesome the new folk are!

I do not disagree! This is deep!
Some really great names so far! A lot of memories!
I'll throw another name out that I miss: [MENTION=1744]jarcar[/MENTION]... ��I wonder how he'd feel to know that we romanticize about him... Huge Larry Walker/ Canadien collector! Ton of knowledge and all around good guy.

He left for another reason but i wish he comes back some day. His particular dose of unapologetic honesty is something that made him so much fun...

Im back! lol.
I have a new hobby now and my Glaus collection has taken a back seat. I rarely see anything I need and when I do, I refuse to pay $7 shipping on a $.99 card. Its a shame but its basically ruined the hobby for me. I still buy the #1 /1's when I see them but that's about it.
