I got a laugh today. The Herorealm forum banned me. Hopefully they deleted my account. Anybody that knows me knows I have a growing disdain for the hive mind which comic book collectors have adopted. I went to their messageboard for one reason. Tony Bedard's best friend's dad asked me if I knew Tony. As a collector, I said "sure.. I recognized his name". The dad said he'd like to get in touch with Tony and say "hello". They hadn't spoken in awhile. As a favor to a really great person, I promised I'd pass along the message. Tony was posting over there so I relayed the message and left.
Seeing that the board is nothing but a total ass-kiss fest I had no interest in going back. I mean c'mon everybody ....as a general rule ANY board where Rob Liefeld posts.... it will be censored and mindless. Rob has no spine for criticism. While I can put up with someone for being a bad artist, being a wus is a whole different issue. If the board wasn't censored... Rob might have to respond to that massive number of insults he gets everywhere else.
But anyway, whle checking emails after a year had elapsed, I see the admins whining aboout how they need to shut down their board down because of the money.
Love me or hate me, I've never asked one dime to run my site. I've never asked a penny. I've accepted free scans. I've spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars out of my pocket to buy art, comics, trade magazines, etc. for my projects. But, I've NEVER sent anyone an email begging for money. I resent anyone who opens their door to guests and then acts like the guest needs to pay them for accepting the invitation. I don't buy shareware with nags and I won't accept SPAM from some lame messageboard where the whole topic of discussion is "lets all kiss ass". If I wanted mindless patting each other on the back, I'd sit around and watch Barney the Dinosaur on PBS. Kind words from me are earned or given at my discretion. I do not kiss ass.
