I didn't even know CK was gone? Anyone want to give me the Cliffs Notes on what happened? Is it worth the time?

Some of us here have been posting since the DC boards five years ago. I've never been the most active poster, but I really appreciate the conversations and the ability to have someone to talk to that's at least as dorky about comics as me. Does that make us a clique of dorks? Even if I choose to not post messages concerning Tinya's sartorial choices...

There is now a thread specifically not about Phantom Girl's bell bottoms (but for some reason people keep talking about them)

BUT we've also branched out to include discussions of panty-lines, BGZTL fashion, Tinya's personality, Perez's warped vision of Tinya Wazzo, AND sailors

(funny enough, we don't mention CK at all)

Seriously, this is the best Legion website on the Internet, bar none! And we have no one to thank but ourselves...
(and especially [Nightcrawler] and [Lightning Lad] for all their hard work!)

Well said.

Let's not let jealousy ruin a good thing here. That's all it really is - trying to drag down something out of CK's reach.

Considering _everyone_ gets a welcome thread which encourages posting, I should think so. But cliques are inevitable. The longer you've known each other, the closer you are. That's just life. Sometimes I feel left out because I don't "get" a lot of the older in-jokes, but I've never felt that was personal. I just go ahead and post on whatever topics interest me.

You should have seen the posts that have been deleted over the last few months. Andrew was given many, many chances to play nice.
There was apparently one that was directed right at me that I only saw post-edit. I got the feeling it was quite nasty.

I don't get it... I've only been a member for a month or so & have been treated like I belong from day 1.

Long live LegionWorld!!!

hey wait, everybody!

maybe we should take this warning to heart, and act like other online places --- WrItE iN aNnOyInG sTyLeZ, mock professionals & newbies alike with snide attitudes, and talk incessantly about video games and female anatomy (i swear, i ran across an Image messageboard devoted to She-Dragon's -ahem - privates ... i didn't even know there WAS a She-Dragon and i definitely felt out of place)

so who wants to start?

[whistling to the ghost town listserv, rec.arts. place]

um, i can't figure out video games past Mortal Kombat 2 on Nintendo and I like that Praying Mantis' bite the heads off their mates when they're done with the sex

does that count as unblighted conversation?

You know Andy S, as a newbie yourself, your opinion doesn't count [Wink]

Before I joined LW I have started to visit regularly and read the many post. And, from what a read of CK i bet that he´s reading all of these. If that the case I thank you CK for inspiring the topic of NOT talking about PG bellbottons (hope you enjoy it!) [LOL]

Not to mention, just visiting the DC board... all I read was a bunch of @$$-holes making snide comments to each other. At least when we make snide comments to each other, we're doing it with love.

I used to post occasionally on the DCMB, but quit when I started seeing more juvenile threads than insightful ones.

Personally, I miss the lettercols, even those that were slanted toward the positive and away from constructive criticism.

A lot of comics pros - Beau Smith is the first name that comes to mind - graduated from the lettercols. Roy Thomas too, if memory serves.

And does anyone else fondly remember The Mad Maple?

That said, I'm glad I found LegionWorld, and Geoff Johns' and Dan Jolley's sites.

I feel like I'm among fellow comics fans who are knowledgeable about the books and just want to discuss ideas and share feedback with other fans.

Long Live The Legion!
