    I liked David (Vargha) and miss his posts.

    He's a very intelligent guy with loads of knowledge - good sense for the ironic.

    Sometimes I think we only exist in head - and when he goes? So do we! image

    The above posts bring back a number of funny memories.

    I don't think I've seen a good SGC - PSA - GAI battle for a while -- let me throw the 1st 3 punches

    PSA sucks
    SGC sucks
    GAI sucks

    so there! image

    JRCRUM- The card god (and his imaginary son CJ)

    The site known as trade retreat actually started here as an MSN group.

    I haven't posted or even lurked over at Net54 in quite some time, only really when someone here posts a link to an interesting thread there, but Dave was posting over there on a regular basis. But they stifle him there and I don't think many of the members there enjoy his terrific sense of humor. When he was first banned here, he came back as a "middle east card collecting arab shiek" - those posts were some of the funniest I've ever seen on any forum. I'm not sure why he doesn't come back here but that's his decision.

    Does anyone remember Bigkidatheart? He was a very frequent poster back in the day. Wonder whatever happened to him.

    Dave

    I used to talk with BKAH from time to time - he has an adopted son and then adopted a daughter from China I believe who had medical issues.

    He sold his collection and moved on out of the hobby is what I recollect. He was a good guy - nice to talk to. If memory serves, he was a Jackie Robinson collector?

    edit: I found this thread that Jeff made over at the Registry Forum - I didn't see it and don't remember if he made a similar one here but I feel kind of bad since I didn't get to say goodbye. image

    Sadly I find that I'm becoming more old school in just about everything. Not sure I qualify here yet.

    Cubby

    Qualitycards/Jay posted yesterday here - I'm guessing he's very busy these days and has only spare moments to spend on the boards everyday.

    Great guy to do business with and if you're lucky enough to be a friend? They don't come any better in the hobby.

    Many of us changed our avatars to David's in tribute when he got unfairly tossed from these boards. I think that was really the final straw for many.

    "unfairly" - that's your opinion and I respect that. I personally didn't think it was "unfair", but in my opinion Dave could have come back here in a similar way that Stone came back. For whatever reason Dave chose not to make the effort, and he said he didn't really want to...he mentioned that to me over at Net54 in a public conversation maybe 6 months after it happened. But I hardly know Dave at all other than just public conversations on the two forums, so likely some of you guys understand his reasons better than me...and no need to explain it.

    It would just be nice if he changed his mind and came back here. Many would enjoy his posts again. But I don't expect that he will, or I guess he would have done it by now.

    Just a thought - but things do change but different isn't necessarily worse or better.

    I tend to post drunk when I turn on my computer to use my webcam to film the bar skank I brought home.

    I'm a firm believer that every great CU member has either: a) Been banned for life, 2) Been banned and come back, or D) Been really close to a being banned more than 3 times.

    Sorry, I do not qualify for any of them!!

    chaz, while you may qualify, meeting the criteria doesn't guarantee you to be a great CU member. Any schmoe can get themselves banned pretty easily- it's trying to walk the fine line between edgy and offensive (to the CU mods) that defines a person's greatness on these boards. Take a boopotts in his prime or rube for example.

    I'm old and I've been to school, but I'm not old school.

    This is an "old school" :

    I may qualify???????? Are you kidding me kid?? Don't get me started. I know I am great and I make this board better no question so I don't need your approval or anyone else's. My greatness is a given. chaz
