4721	Article	Dalek227	I'm glad I joined this site the other day. I had a private message in retorjunk from 2012 about this site being open and I never officially checked it out until now.		Dec 16, 2018

5739	Article	Benjanime	Seeing all the comments here it saddens me that most of these users weren't even on this site for very long. I thought we'd see them fully make their home here. I suppose personal life things take more interest than coming back to a nostalgia site after so many years.	Remembering RetroJunk	Sep 10, 2023
5793	Article	crazyrandomgamer	I was a member of Retro Junk from November 2007 to about 2009-ish. I left because there were far too many debates about what is retro and what isn't, who was a kid of the 1990's, the age discrimination and all of the "stuff sucks now compared to when I was a kid" forum topics. Also didn't like the new design. However, the site brings back good memories for me. I'm not really too active on social media these days. Great article!	Remembering RetroJunk	Jan 28, 2024
1922	Article	Vaporman87	Man, I really enjoyed reading this. I also hated reading this. I'll confess to you why. I went through a short period of chubbiness as well, though I don't think anyone would say I was "fat". Again, it was short and I have little memory of it being an issue to me. But I made the fact that two of my closest friends were "fat" a very big issue... and I despise my young self for it. Yes, my friends knew I cared about them, and enjoyed their friendship. But I seemingly made it as difficult as possible for them to like me sometimes. This fact is evidenced by the comics, videos, and audio recordings I created of them or with them. Every time I listen to a recording made with these friends, I cringe and shake my head in disgust at the insults I threw their way. As if they weren't getting enough of it in school, here was someone who was SUPPOSED to be their friend giving them the worst of it. And it didn't stop with them. Bert himself is inspired by another "fat" kid who was not actually my friend. I invented all new words for their "fatness". Blobulous, blobuelull, globey, lard horg, etc. If there was one thing I wish I could go back and do over, it would be my insulting words and pictures. The sad thing is that, now that I am old enough to understand how awful I was, I have no way to apologize. One of the two friends passed away from diabetes. The other left his wife and two kids and headed out west (out of the blue) and never returned. I can't help but wonder if anything I did changed their lives for the worse. I can't bear that thought... it will haunt me forever.	Being The Fat Kid	Feb 09, 2015
1923	Article	vkimo	I remember being described as "husky" once in 5th grade which is strange because I never remember being portly, I must have burned it off. I was always the average build. I can empathize with Vapor, I had a good friend who we always made jokes about, he took it pretty good (At least on the outside) and dished it out back to us. We're still friends on Facebook and chat.	Being The Fat Kid	Feb 09, 2015
1924	Article	Hoju Koolander	@vkimo "Husky" would have been more acceptable to me, now that I think about it. It's got a softer feel to it. @Vaporman87 I think everyone had that fat friend they picked on, that's why I wrote the article. So I think you're off the hook. I just happened to BE the fat kid, but I realize now that kids are just dumb and can't think of much else to say. "Your ability to style your hair is sub-par" just doesn't have the same ring as, "Hey, Chubb-o". I had a friend who also used my weight as a source of comedy in our audio cassette recordings of fake morning shows and sketches, needless to say I found other partners pretty quickly. In retrospect his weak comic insults were kind of pointless, since it's not a visual medium.	Being The Fat Kid	Feb 09, 2015
