| 1929 | Article | NLogan | Good ole Retro*Junk. With the GI*JOE star that I remember from when I joined in 2007. I came because of a random search that landed me in an article. I perused the commercials and TV intros. I stayed for the articles. I came during the transition from the stars to the thumbs up rating system. I generally steered clear of the nonsense in the forums. I left when the site was no longer about retro things and was entirely about factions complaining against each other. When I came back the site downgrade really turned me off and most of the things I liked about the Retro*Junk I knew were gone including most of my favorite users. It is nice to know they are not all lost forever and I have found some again here after being invited back to retro. | Feb 09, 2015 |  | |
| 1930 | Article | Vaporman87 | @NLogan: It's great to be able to get to know some of the veterans of RetroJunk for those of us who weren't in the mix for some time. I'm glad your here with us. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 09, 2015 | |
| 1933 | Article | NLogan | I remember the transition from seeing articles in the "Article Archives" either on page after page of the "Front Page" or the "Back Page" depending on the numbers of thumbs up ratings, to seeing articles in the "Article" section with the Newest, Popular, and Back Page with the Popular category divided into 1 Week, 1 Month, 3 Months, and All Time. It made it so much easier to see the best voted articles without scrolling through page after page. The catalyst for the change was an article contest. As far as I know there were no contests on Retro*Junk since 2005. Vertex resurrected the idea to showcase a sponsor in Oct/Nov 2007 with a Wii game as the prize. I won the contest with my article Saturday Morning Cereals with a whopping score of 42 (the first to break the 20 point then the 40 point barrier since the switch from the 5 Star rating). <img style="width: 491px; height: 371px;" src="/images/postImages/1423526280retrojunkcontest.gif"> | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 1934 | Article | vkimo | NLogan, I was a bit hazy on the details. Who got the all time highest scoring article first, you or Gaijinninja? | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 10, 2015 | |
| 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"> | Remembering RetroJunk | 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 | |
