A lot of people bailed when they saw the circa 1997 forurm software they put in place. Even when VGS was up and running, I'd lurk over there just to watch the shit show until they finally flushed it. It was on its way to becoming an offshoot of 8chan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on its way to becoming an offshoot of 8chan. I checked back there a short while later, and saw a bunch of homophobic and transphobic things posted and I was like "yep, this place is 100% trash now". I actually forgot about that place until the other day when a buddy and I were talking about the "good ol' days of collecting". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there have been attempts at finding him on facebook, but I don't remember if someone really got in touch with him.

He did show back up at one point, but it was only to spam some skateboard related kickstarter he had going. It wasn't very exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go through there you’ll also see instances of people sacrificing their “insert milestone # post” to the Joel thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
