| 1993 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 I appreciate your final thought there. This has really struck a cord on my Facebook page too, judging by the comments. Hey, if we can raise a kinder generation of kids it would be great. Otherwise we can just help our kids to deal with the inevitable times of being singled out for our differences and teach them to celebrate that. Sure I got picked on, but I never changed for other people. Eventually they appreciated who I was. OK, off my soap box now ;) @NLogan It's so cool that you had back-up all those years, great to have a partner along for the ride. Al That moving must have been rough. Your point about the possessions is pretty well founded, sometimes they would be the only constant. | Feb 13, 2015 |  | |
| 4717 | Article | Dalek227 | Oh I love this so much!! I especially relate to the comments your friends dad made. People don’t think they sound as bad as they really do LOL I’m still adding parts to my article because it’s almost like therapy. What I find hard is when I’m writing, I’m thinking in the mindset of how I felt back then, but I don’t want people to think my childhood was all crap because it wasn’t. So I feel like I have to throw in a reminder here and there that it wasn’t total crap it just wasn’t the normal skinny kid childhood haha | Being The Fat Kid | Dec 15, 2018 | |
| 4718 | Article | Vaporman87 | Looking forward to the next part, Dalek. I think time helps to sort the good from the bad. Some people tend to forget the bad, whether consciously or subconsciously, and focus on the good. I think I fit that description. | Being The Fat Kid | Dec 15, 2018 | |

| 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. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 08, 2015 | |
| 1900 | Article | vkimo | You're definitely right about social sites putting a blow in things. RJ was your primary source for old commercials, but then Youtube came along and you can watch anything. I think dedicated niche sites always have that problem with bigger sites having similar content mixed with everything else. It's still no excuse for the downgrading quality of the site though. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 08, 2015 | |
