| 1715 | Article | NLogan | I just realized two pictures didn't show up that I thought I had included. One was the advertisement of the Hardees' toys for Mickey's Christmas Carol. The other was a small plastic nativity that my other grandma had that I remember from the 1960s. <img src="/images/postImages/1419094216hardee\'s-christmas-carol.gif"><br><br><img style="width: 313px; height: 235px;" src="/images/postImages/1419094252plasticnativity.gif"><br><br><br> | Dec 20, 2014 |  | |
| 1721 | Article | NLogan | You only left out 6 carrots for 8 reindeer, 9 if you include Rudolph. That would have been a bloodbath. That is a pretty cool looking Scooby Doo game that I had no idea even existed. Sometimes we must learn the hard way I got a chuckle out of both of you imagining your faces after tasting the bitter chocolate. | The Santa Diaries | Dec 20, 2014 | |
| 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. | 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 1978 | Article | NLogan | Maybe we are so nostalgic because we needed toys and comic books to get through tough times. My parents are also divorced. I lived with my mom in apartment after apartment and went from school to school. I was perpetually the new kid. Now I always had my twin brother to play with but I was also jealous of those kids with the best friends they had known all of their lives. I had plenty of friends but never the life long kind. Three elementary schools, 3 Jr. Highs, and a high school later I relied heavily on my possessions that always came with me. I regret a few things that I did directed towards others as a kid. Being a new kid and a runt I had my share of being picked on, but we also knew well how to fight having ample opportunity. I had a fairly violent childhood. There was also two of us to tangle with and we weren't above blindsiding and dirty fighting. What did it matter we would probably be moving soon anyways. This article more than anything brings perspective on the changes now that we are adults and what we want our children to experience as they grow. | Being The Fat Kid | Feb 12, 2015 | |
