| 1908 | Article | vkimo | Thanks Silver. @Comic book fan - No, RJ isn't shutting down, it's just on life support. @Gaijin - I know right? My article isn't harming RJ, Vertex is with his complacency. | Feb 09, 2015 |  | |
| 1909 | Article | Ruespieler | Man, it hurt reading this. Great job on the early pics, have no idea where you dug those up. I enjoyed your reminiscing of the forums, and learned a thing or two about how they operated. As you know I rarely hung out there (except for that whole 10 article disaster when I learned the hard way what the difference was between a thread and a post lol). Debris... The Al Franken of RJ. Knites will be furious that you didn't mention the fact that is was his article, 'On Writing', that turned the site around and officially began RJ's golden age. We need to find DalmationLover and bring him here! Celeste too! I had been looking forward to reading this, sorry it wont make it to RJ. You didn't disappoint. I thought you took it pretty easy on ol' Vertex. Easier than I did... Thanks for the nod, it was great those times when we'd nit pick formatting issues, even on two different continents! Technically, I was the 3 time all time article champion if you include the time when, soon after the "upgrade", there was a glitch in the article thumb voting mechanism that allowed me to vote mine and Celeste's articles all the way to the top of the heap. Celeste's 'Animation to Live Action 2' still stands as the only article to break 1000 thumbs, both positive and negative. Nice read, mang. When's that contest starting?!?! | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
| 1910 | Article | Ruespieler | *Thumbs up #3 was mine ;) | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
| 1911 | Article | pikachulover | I had been a member of RJ since the early days. I remember sneaking onto the site during my Microsoft Office class. I think I joined the site in either 2003 or 2004. I had been there for a long time. After all the nonsense with Reaper and other things. I had had it when everybody pretended that one guy died from suicide. That was the last straw! People really have to really have to deal with things like that. It's not a joke! After all that nonsense I would lurk, but I hadn't posed in a while. I think I started posting again in 2012. I never really had any problems with the other members. I didn't ever post articles on there because I was too intimidated to. Were females really a novelty on RJ? | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
| 1912 | Article | Mr Magic | Thanks for taking me to a time when Retrojunk was in its glory. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
| 1913 | Article | echidna64 | I'm so happy that we got to read this! You perfectly captured the good times and bad on Retrojunk. It's amazing how we shared such a strong bond of everything from 90's commercials to favorite junk foods. Just the other day I laughed good and hard the other day remembering why Debrisstorm was banned- over an image of poop LOL Long live Debris! | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
| 1914 | Article | vkimo | @Pika - You're thinking of ilikehthepixies | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
| 1915 | Article | Mr Magic | I enjoyed talking about stuff with members like Celeste and Xe-A-Thoul. I hope I hear from them again someday. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
| 1916 | Article | Benjanime | I honestly miss the golden days of the site, that is though in all obviousness that I could have done without Debrisstorm's constant scoffing at the autism spectrum. Articles were actually worth reading, even if one or two misspellings were spotted (First we had the your/you're problem and now people are saying suppose instead of supposed). Nowadays it's a treasure to find someone post an article on a subject that hasn't been done to death, so I usually sniff around both RJ and RD article archives to keep a good eye to make sure I don't immediately take an article idea from someone else when I'm not aware that more of the same exist. Anyway for those of you wondering I apologize greatly for the odd hiatuses in not writing articles. I have more to come! I promise! | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
| 1917 | Article | Caps 2.0 | A wonderful article, vkimo, but then again, you've never written a bad one. I still have authority on RetroJunk as a message board administrator and content editor, but I don't really post on the message boards anymore. I still submit videos and movie pages, but I stopped writing for RJ in 2013. My last few articles barely got any response, positive or negative. It hurt, especially with the interview I did with Jewel Shepard. It was an interview I was very proud of, but hardly anybody read it. I'm now writing on Pop Geeks, where I've continued my retro articles and celebrity interviews. Pop Geeks was created by a friend of mine from my early days on the Internet who I reconnected with on Facebook several years ago. She initially invited me to look at the site as a viewer, but when I told her I was looking for a new place to write, she said she'd consider it. I wrote an audition piece for the site and she accepted it. That piece became my first article "10 Comedy Albums To Fall Asleep To". It was followed shortly thereafter by my first interview for Pop Geeks, which was with Catherine Mary Stewart. It was a return to e-mail interviewing for that, but that's what she preferred. I resumed the phone interviews the following month by speaking to Jamie Rose. I've subsequently interviewed Ginger Lynn, Ellen Foley, Michelle Johnson, Lita Ford, Teresa Ganzel, J.J Cohen and Lesley Ann Warren, with several more interviews potentially in the works. They've gotten a lot of Facebook likes...I doubt they would've gotten any response on RetroJunk. This was a wonderful piece of history, vkimo, and I'm glad it's doing so well. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
