Are you posting less 2

[carbo-fation]

I have really cut back on posting as well. I mean, I still haven't reached 6000 posts and I've been on 5000 posts for the last 5 months or so. But I am just as interested in some of the new releases. I am sure once the LOTR and Marvel PF line picks up some more speed, I'll be posting more.

I'm pretty much a reader and not a poster. I've learned so much from all of you, i.e., quality, quantity, value, posing, fritzing, photography, customizing, etc.

I agree that some of the conversations/opinions get out-of-hand but I just ignore them and move on to the next posting...hoping to find someone that has something constructive to say.

Thanks, Josh, and everyone that contributes to this board. You all make me laugh, cringe, snort, smile, nod, shake, and buy more Sideshow figures.

Back at ya Z!!

I can't keep collecting at the rate I've been collecting. It's financially crippling and absolutely addicting. And these boards are chock full of enablers.

Every time I buy a premium format, it puts off one of my house projects.

AMEN. But I can't stop. Maybe I need an intervention. I'm just glad I studied hard to be able to afford and enjoy this hobby at this point in my life. I spent too much on comics as a kid, why should it be any different now?



Edit: Maybe some of you senior members should start a thread on what to expect as a new collector, what/how to avoid unneccesary purchases, to buy or not to buy duplicates, etc.

 

[Mesa]

That's exactly how I feel as well.... It's very hard to resist anything anymore. Everyone gets excited and it gets me excited and I want to buy stuff that I really don't need.

you wouldn't be talking about Darkman, would you? I have no need for that (that thing is hideous), but for some F'd up reason I ordered it. G'bless Sideshows no penalty cancellation policy.

There's a Star Wars thread here? Well I 'm glad I just look right past that one and move on to what interests me. I get enough of the whining and b*****ing in my "real" life, no time for it on a forum I come to to enjoy myself. That said, nobody try to leave..nobody gets hurt.

I hear ya Josh...and like the others, I've cut back from posting much anymore -- not that I was ever really much of a poster anyway...just in spurts and starts. For those of you relatively "new", I've been a member of the Freaks since about Apr/May 2004. I'm certainly not one of the really senior members like Lonnie and Josh, but I've seen much and watched many start off hard and fast and then peter out (and read whatever you want from that ). Am sure we'll continue to see a lot more and a new wave of it whenever we have a new influx of posters....it's cyclic. For every (place previous a$$hole member's name of choice here) or (place your choice of "look-at-me-I'm-special/smart/sexy/wonderful member's name here) that finally leaves, there will be at least 3 to replace each. My post count is low in great part because I purposely take a break from posting -- especially when it starts getting stoooopid in here. You're doing just fine Josh.

 

[The Josh]

Thanks Rumi! Knowing you and some others have my back means a lot.

'Course we got yer back. To some extent I think this place is sorta like family. We may squabble a bit (I think you and I have had one or two) but we keep it clean and move on (Most of us anyways and those that don't, well...).

Yeah, you guys are like family which is why going to SDCC means so much seeing those that can go.

I think everyone on this forum has had a 'squabble' with The Josh; most for the same reason. That's just the life of a "Superfan."

I wouldn't say everyone but I've had a few run ins mostly with certain types of posters. I care for the rest of ya.

 

[Agent0028]

Yeah the annual freaks party is the biggest reason I want to go. Maybe this year...

You have to at least once. Honestly, its the best time of my whole year.

the josh is AWESOME!!!! without him, i wouldn't have gotten a stealth iron man. i am so anticipating this statue, you have no idea!!! thanks again josh, you are a#1!!!

 

[oldduffer]

I've never tusseled with The Josh either, I have severe brain damage myself, since birth my parents tell me. This allows me to spot quite easily those showing the same symptoms that I exhibit as a brain damaged person ............................................ that's why I don't fight with JMan, I cut brain damaged people a break whenever possible.

Too true Weta, I hate those f'n A-hole posters, they should be banned...
