Who is the Most Infamous Forum Member?

LindeDad · February 25, 2014 1:14AM

Too who?

bronzemat · February 25, 2014 1:15AM

BNB, miss that character.

Wolf359 · February 25, 2014 1:17AM

since this doesn't have to do with coins, it is doomed to being removed

<< since this doesn't have to do with coins, it is doomed to being removed >>

We discuss the forum a lot this is just a fun thread. The Infamous could be an expert in the field of numismatics, a wild character, a passed away member who contributed a lot or something else. This is a good reference as to who provided good info in spite of being a character.

Zoins · February 25, 2014 1:24AM

It depends on what you're going for. There are a few candidates depending on the area

numisma · February 25, 2014 1:27AM

As for forum members who posted often in the U.S. Coin Forum (to keep it on topic), how many of you remember Doops and/or Pepperdoodles? They were the same person (Jeff F.). Or their short-lived cloned offspring of DooplePooples? I understand that Doops has since passed away, and many liked him. Then there was the infamous arch-nemisis of Pepperdoodles: DCAMFranklin.

*was. None of the infamous members are here any longer.
I would nominate BiddlesBank. Every single one of his posts was inflammatory.

Ah yes, I forgot about good ol' BiddlesBank. He's still around, so I have been told. After getting banned, he continued his rant for a few years on his own website. That site is still around, although I will not link it here. Much of the inflammatory rants are now hidden on the site.

He also ranted on the yahoo forum and linked his biddlesbank site there. Only problem was he registered that site using his real name and address which promptly got out. Poor RZ

How about Adrian or that platinum guy? There have been a bunch of characters here over the years....

Zoins · February 25, 2014 2:51AM

He's one that stood out for me.

Others include forum members that did work with coins / slabs.

Lucybop.

Loved the way she would discuss Franklin halves and her love of science.

AnkurJ · February 25, 2014 2:55AM

Me!

Swampboy · February 25, 2014 3:04AM

Being infamous for one's hot tub activities wouldn't be a bad way to go.

MICHAELDIXON · February 25, 2014 3:12AM

Who was the guy on the old boards who tried to scam members by telling us he needed dental work? He is so infamous that I forgot his name!

ebaytrader · February 25, 2014 3:23AM

<< Lucybop.

Nothing infamous about her. Good gal.

pocketpiececommems · February 25, 2014 4:27AM

When I read the title of this thread I immediately thought of BNB and his 3 legged Buffalo but Bronzemat beat me to it.

keets · February 25, 2014 4:29AM

perhaps the most inflammatory was K6AZ who had a personal vendetta towards Alan Hagar and Accugrade/ACG to the point where anybody who spoke in a way he construed as non-negative towards them was roundly scorned and harangued by him. if you remember, he was shown the door when he posted some very personal information about another member in an Open Forum thread, stuff like banking/credit card numbers and contact information.

of all the past/banned members, he may be the one that absolutely no one was sad to see go.

What's so infamous about a 3 legged buffalo

pmac · February 25, 2014 4:32AM

BNB gets my vote, also.

ricko · February 25, 2014 4:48AM

Biddlesbank or Bongo Bongo would get my votes....Cheers, RickO

magikbilly · February 25, 2014 5:14AM

He who shall not be named, or used to not be named. You know who.

BAJJERFAN · February 25, 2014 5:24AM

Who was the kid who posted as Goldcoinlover?

lordmarcovan · February 25, 2014 5:26AM

Bongo Bongo, hands down, though in a good sort of way.

GoldCoinLover, for a while, back in the 'day. Remember him?

How do you know he didn't need dental work?

rays · February 25, 2014 5:53AM

gmarguli.

Last seen here ca 2004.

Flash · February 25, 2014 5:58AM

Who was the member who, years ago, insisted that he had an 1804 dollar? Can't remember his forum name, but he has my vote!

shylock · February 25, 2014 6:03AM

How did you know he didn't need dental work

Yes gmarguli was infamous. As was Scottieo on old forum.

And coincobbler was a piece of work

That was Scottieo.

There were so many characters in early days...

ModCrewman · February 25, 2014 6:06AM

During my relatively short time here...I go with BNB also.

Ah, yes, I remember hendrixcat, wanting buckets and stuff so he could go assist at Ground Zero.

How hilarious to see a "newbie" post of my own.

calgolddiver · February 25, 2014 6:11AM

another vote for BONGO BONGO

MFH · February 25, 2014 10:53AM

Not knowing who Bongo Bongo was, he was still the
most entertaining persona I have experienced on the Forums.

LanLord · February 25, 2014 10:56AM

coincobbler

He was the ultimate forum troll.
He made posts that were actually entertaining, even though you knew he was a troll.

scottio got some free dental work courtesy of generous forum members. He was a piece of work.

savoyspecial · February 25, 2014 11:00AM

BNB by a longshot

Coin Finder · February 25, 2014 11:02AM

Rule 1) This is not a public forum. This is a PCGS forum paid for by PCGS and provided for PCGS customers to exchange information regarding collecting US coins. We make the rules this is not a democracy.

Cmom guys and gals....

BongBongo was like a rock star.

He joined the same month/year as I did.

BONGO HURTLES ALONG THE RAIN SODDEN HIGHWAY OF LIFE ON UNDERINFLATED BALD RETREAD TIRES

This is the best sig line yet.

JerseyJoe · February 25, 2014 11:26AM

johnnyz I think had a gold give a way that never materialized.

And the name tripplexotica comes to mind but I forget story.
