Just curious-- how long is your PCGS message board memory?

Longacre

For those that are frequent visitors to these message boards, I am curious as to how long your message board memory is. For example, I tend to remember the persons who post not-so-nice comments to some of my threads. Similarly, I also remember those who provide thoughtful responses, and those whose comments are so off base, that they are not worth reading. I now have a feel for people's views on things, and I can almost predict what people's responses are going to be to various hypos that are posted here. The idea for this thread resulted from a PM that I received where another board member reminded me of somthing that I mentioned at least a year ago in a PM to him. So, just out of curiousity, how long is your message board memory, or do the comments of posters (good or bad) simply roll off your back like water off of a duck?

I remember everything and nothing.

I can't even remember what I had for breakfaft this morning.

What message board?

I knew you'd say that.

greghansen

Uh, they roll of my back like water off a duck. If the message is from a member whom I've met I'm far more likely to remember it since I have a mental picture of the poster. There are maybe only a handful of other posters whom I have not met, whom I tend to recall their post positions.

I'm envious of the extent of your recall.

I have met, however, a lot of forum members whom I am sure would not remember me and couldn't pick me out of a Duke Lacross line up if they had to. So, I consider that I know them...even though I'm quite sure they do not consider that they know me.

And I knew you would say that. LOL j/k

Seriously though, I do remember the members I respect and those I don't. I also can somewhat predict comments. Of course, there are those oddball ones

As far as PM's are concerned it is easy to pull up the whole history of correspondence to recall what was said.

I remember most everything especially negative comments.

Usually they just roll away but I do remember the harsh ones. Like the time I was attacked for TTTing more than once a day when I had no clue that there was a rule about it.

Longacre, are you new to the forum? I don't recall reading any threads started by you.

Take out the, "without pics!".

JRocco

I do not hold anything against anyone here. Though there are some posters (like yourself) that I look forward to their responses. I do have a mental picture of posters that are helpful vs those that just like to "hang around" and share nothing though.

MrSpud

I remember the people who post things all the time, like on a daily basis, and what they said be it positive or negative. The other people I forget who said what, especially if they change their icons.

kiyote

I remember the criticisms, mostly. I lie in bed, thinking about it, hour after hour, tossing and turning, coming up with the perfect comeback only to forget it the next morning when I'm awake.

pontiacinf

I remember the most helpful and friendly, especially Frank C. He went out of his way on a daily basis to help me, regardless of being asked. A true friend.

riff raff from the past can be brought up via pm history, but Id rather leave them clowns be

cladking

I'd probably long remember if anyone ever insulted me (and it was impossible to "square up") but I take just about everything as a compliment.

Shamika

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but I can remember the most benign details of threads going back to when I was nothing more than a lurker. As a result, once a user goes on my "problem patron" list for some minor offense, I have trouble forgiving him. I guess in that light, it's a curse.

And then they FREAK'N come back! Damn those Yankees!!!

I remember most things. I still remember my very first day on the boards and getting in a fight with Boom involving SGS. I remember posting an Ebay thread in the coin forum and getting roasted by Darktone for it, only to completely own him later. (Sorry Mike, but that was pretty funny) I remeber who makes the nice comments to me and the dealer that ignored me 3 times and then proved themself to be a complete hypocrite.

solid

First off let me say that I consider myself to be bad with names, especially when I haven't
met someone in person. That said, I decided to come up with some hard numbers for your
thread. I gave myself 15 minutes to list as many boardmembers as possible from memory.

Results:
--------------------
39 names
20 people that I was able to include first names along with their ID

Additional notes:
--------------------
A few ID's are probably not exactly right (JrGman for instance - can't remember if it's 2003, 2004, etc.)

The list is a mix of old and new members, but mostly long-term participants.

3 or 4 timesI could think of the person, but not remember their ID.

4 of the names are women, and I'll be darned if they're not batting a thousand
with my remembering their first name along with their ID.

2 names on the list were bammed (and I can think of another now).

I'm sure there are a bunch of obvious ones (thought of a few more already) that
I should have come up with either because I've met them, interacted with them
numerous times, or because of their "presence" on the boards (for better and worse).


And there you have it.

Ken

Edited to add: No, I won't tell you if you're on THE LIST or not!

Edited again to add: If you are a woman boardmember, of course you were on THE LIST!

Great topic for another thread. Could be set up as a poll as to percentage of threads read.

That didn't hold up did it? Hope you stayed around for the entire comeback!

show-off

nwcs

Life's too short to worry that much about people who pissed you off. I've unintentionally pissed off one or two people here and ended up apologizing to them.

oreville

Hey, I was no showoff!

Sat in the the Fuji Film $5 specially priced tickets in the upper tier in right field!!! We had a ball! Never sat up there before as i always sat in box seats.

The T-Mobile "Sidekick" wasn't even mine. It belonged to my daughter. After using it once and taking 40 minutes to post that one message, I vowed never to use it again! But my daughter, who is a rabid Yankee fan had the time of her life playing with it and also watching the game.

But yes, we stayed all the way until the beginning of the 9th inning when the score was already tied 12-12. Being that I was NOT a Yankee fan, I had already seen enough indeed! Why did I leave? I saw that my beloved Cleveland Indians had already come from behind a 3-0 deficit of their own to win 6-4 over the Royals so I was happy enough.

But I must admit, the Yankees were impressive in their comeback victory. Also, Jeter is a very regal and most impressive ballplayer. He makes the Yankees better all around him. He is a true MVP for the team.

Great game, no wonder I did not stay on the internet that night after the first post!
