| 1899 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's sad to see what has happened through the years. It's not something that is unusual though. The internet is full of once promising nostalgia sites that have all but died now. Trust me, I've searched about as thoroughly as any human can for others like us. If any nostalgia sites are thriving now, it's because they are "retrogaming" sites, of which there are like 50,000,000 out there. Few sites replicate what RetroJunk originated. Sydlexia and Plaid Stallions are about as close to RJ as I've found, and even they are different in that the owners are the exclusive article writers. Nostalgia sites are hanging on by a thread. Facebook and social media have become the replacement for sharing memories, albeit in micro form. I think Vertex reached a point where he had a choice... either invest in improving the site for the users, or improving the site for the money it could make. A simple layout with flashy Google Ads would be the perfect place to land potential clickers. The huge mass of content would draw them in, and the ads and layout would handle the rest. My interest in impressing Google is no less than Vertex's, but for different reasons. For me it's simple... the more, the merrier. I just wish Vertex had made the other choice. | Feb 08, 2015 |  | |
| 1898 | Article | vkimo | In case anyone is wondering why this was published on Retro-Daze and not RJ, the owner of RetroJunk wouldn't approve it. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 08, 2015 | |

| 1895 | Article | Vaporman87 | Very well said fuschnikt. Those kids are in good hands with you. | This Is Why I'm Going To Hell | Feb 06, 2015 | |
| 1894 | Article | fuschnikt | Thanks guys. I was unsure about posting this one. religion can be a weird subject for people. But I figured, if people are going to be posting about family stuff, this is my family stuff. So, why not? Besides, it also has a lot to do with the whole big brother/little brother dynamic. I actually teach Sunday school now. 2nd grade. Vaporman, you make some great points about children and religion. Having this story under my belt helps me a lot. Kids can take things very seriously. They see the world very differently than a grown up and think in different ways. Black and white, almost. As this story can attest, I fully believed that what I did was bad, and there was no coming back from it. In Sunday school I make sure that these kids know that there is a long life ahead of them. They may make mistakes, they may feel guilty about things or bad for doing things, but there is nothing you can't come back from. We take the opportunity to lay a foundation of the faith. We teach the stories and themes, the big picture stuff can come later when they are ready to really think about it, relate to it, and form their own real thoughts about it. | This Is Why I'm Going To Hell | Feb 06, 2015 | |
| 1893 | Article | Vaporman87 | I had reached that point in my life where sports became important to me (namely basketball and hockey) so I was watching that, or Unsolved Mysteries, and some of the sitcoms like Cheers, Night Court, etc. | Simpsons Illustrated and 90's Magazine Ads | Feb 06, 2015 | |
| 1892 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Nice story, kept me in suspense wondering what the thumb thing was, then no explanation! Scholars will debate it for centuries. If anything I think your brother would go to hell for tricking you into that. Seems like rather devilish behavior to me. But if that was the case, every kid who ever said, "Psych!" would probably be feeling the poke of a pitchfork as well. | This Is Why I'm Going To Hell | Feb 05, 2015 | |
| 1891 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 That's The Simpsons Sing the Blues, my friend. I have it on CD and Cassette! I often find myself singing "Look At All Those Idiots" or "Deep, Deep Trouble" to this day. You didn't watch The Simpsons? Are you a communist? j/k What were you watching instead? | Simpsons Illustrated and 90's Magazine Ads | Feb 05, 2015 | |
| 1890 | Article | echidna64 | Excellent article! Church was always an awkward experience for me growing up. Even at a young age, I never really believed in what was being taught, I kind of half-heartedly went along with it (although I was a full blown sucker for Santa Claus). I remember one time during summer bible school the lesson of the day was that if you said "I accept Jesus into my heart" you would be saved. I remember thinking, that's it? Just one magic phrase and BOOM you're in like Flynn? Also, there was crucifixion reenactment that came with a parental warning lol | This Is Why I'm Going To Hell | Feb 05, 2015 | |
| 1889 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ha! Two articles in one week with Simpsons references (the other by fuschnikt)... that's got to be a record! I had no idea The Simpsons had their very own magazine. I should have figured though, as in the 90's everything had it's own magazine. I like all the "inside" information that was in these. Though I was never really a huge Simpsons fan, I did catch it now and then. Not enough to know about some of the more obscure characters that got better treatment in these pages. I owned very little Simpsons merchandise, but I did buy a Simpsons cassette tape with music on it, sung by the Simpsons themselves. I wonder if that's worth money on Ebay now? | Simpsons Illustrated and 90's Magazine Ads | Feb 05, 2015 | |
