| 1937 | Article | NLogan | Gaijinninja held the top 2 spots for the longest time with AA Heaven and Coin-ops Golden Age, 1980-1984. I briefly held all ten spots for most popular for 1 month when gaijinninja's finally got old enough. Then along came a whippersnapper from the 90s generation who totally shook it up and started a new era of Retro*Junk. This is from around the time when vkimo finally broke through the 100 point barrier. <img src="/images/postImages/1423529315vkimo100.gif" height="436" width="556"> | Feb 10, 2015 |  | |
| 1938 | Article | Vaporman87 | When I finally took a serious interest in becoming a member of the site and contributing, probably one of the biggest turn-offs was the idea of a "Back Page". It made sense to want the best content out front for visitors to see, but it alienated people who had already made the commitment to be an active part of the site. I didn't feel like the trade off was worth it. Perhaps having that project you worked hard on getting sent to the back page made you want to work harder next time... but it could equally make someone discouraged or angry. You could say the same with regard to having ratings at all, but at least everyone gets an equal chance to have their memories shared... which is ultimately what drives anyone to bother sharing them... because they want them known and read and remembered. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1939 | Article | NLogan | vkimo Posted on Feb 10, 2015 at 12:43 AM NLogan, I was a bit hazy on the details. Who got the all time highest scoring article first, you or Gaijinninja? -end quote You were technically the first to get the highest scoring article of all time as you were in the top spot when the Popular category transitioned to High Score of All Time. Gaijinninja held the Popular of All Time first. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1940 | Article | NLogan | @Vapor I also disliked the backpage. It is already inherent in the popular just on the other end of the spectrum. I didn't like missing articles all together that were instantly voted down as they were posted because the user was disliked in the forums by a select few. There were some articles that never got a chance and that probably influenced a few to never write articles or never write an article again. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1942 | Article | Vaporman87 | I just realized the ultimate irony... vkimo has passed NLogan for highest rated article HERE with this one. LOL. RJ is still influencing us, even on other sites. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1943 | Article | Benjanime | the back page had its ups and downs. remember when caps 2.0 wrote an article on spongebob as it met that demise? | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1944 | Article | NLogan | @vapor the irony is that it was my vote that did it. In the good old days of Retro*Junk it wasn't about the votes at all it was about sharing all of the oh yeah I totally remember that things that you had come across as an adult that sparked that nostalgia feeling and brought back childhood for a brief moment. I had already submitted my article that won the contest before even knowing the was a contest. We all just were trying to stir up those feelings until the popularity contest got involved. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1945 | Article | vkimo | NLogan, do you still have ties with Spencer? We need the Retro Machine here. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1947 | Article | NLogan | @vkimo I know his real name but he prefers anonymity and has set up a Retro Machine Facebook page for fans of his old articles. https://www.facebook.com/TheRetroMachine/timeline Here is his email, well his fan one anyways: theretromachine@gmail.com | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1949 | Article | Cosgrove | Leave it to vkimo to bring everyone out of the woodwork. It feels like a high school reunion seeing all these familiar names. I think you said it best about feeling nostalgic for a nostalgia website. There are so many memories I hold dear during my two years on RJ. I can't quite tell you guys how much writing for the site changed my life. Through a rough patch in my life, those thumbs ups were hands down the best thing in the world. But I guess that's why it tore my heart to see the site change so much. Many hours spent, @Gaijin Ninja, on yours and my articles just to see them mauled like they are today. Nothing is forever on the internet, I guess. I strictly wrote and watched videos, so I never saw the drama on the forums (but it was certainly felt across the whole site). The only wrongs I saw were some comments on articles and how little recognition Caps got on all his interview articles -- hella fine work, sir. I wish this site smoother seas than its predecessor. I hope to one day grace its pages with you guys. Y'know, harken back to Golden Years of RJ. Laters! | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
