So its kind of boring here tonight--let's kick it up a notch. Which LMBer would like to be interviewed by the one and only Cobalt Kid? It'll be like the Tonight Show--if Errol Flynn hosted it!
We can go back and forth and ask each other questions. Others can join in.

Don't know if I have anything meaningful to say, but interview away.

Alright! Welcome HWW! I have questions I've wanted to ask just about everyone--they just might have no rhyme or reason.
First off: longtime LW posters know you've been a mainstay poster here at Legion World as well as the old school DCMBs. Was there a specific thread at the old DCMB's (Legion related) that you particularly loved and can remember all these years later? And why?

One thread that stands out in my memory was a storyline featuring 20th century versions of the Legionnaires. I think Lash started it, and each subsequent poster added a chapter, taking the characters in wildly divergent directions. (Lash even worked in his Buster Gonads character! I remember Buster making the moves on Tinya, so I had Jo give him a trouncing.)
We got quite far into the story before Rob Kamphausen, DC's mod at the time, shut it down. It seems the thread violated the rules against posting original stories.

You know, I remember hearing you guys reference that thread a few years later. I never got to see the original though. Yet another reason why the DCMB's sucked then just like they do now.
Were there any other forums you would visit regularly on the DCMB's? Other than the Legion forum, I visited the Batman and Other DCU ones but that was only in the early days for me--after 1999-2000, I only went to the Legion forum as part of my interaction with the LMB.

I'm sure I visited other DC forums--particularly JSA, which I was reading at the time. I also visited the Titans forum. I remember interacting with Barry Kitson there, while he was drawing the title.
Backatcha Cobie: What standout thread on the DC forum do you remember?

Other than "Who Are You?" which basically kicked off the LMB, a Legion-related topic I specifically remember was a thread about Leviathan started by none other than Blacula, who lamented Gim's treatment during the reboot--something I sympathized with at the time. That means Blacula has been sticking up for Gim for more than 10 years on message boards.
I remember I was talking about Dirk Morgna and spelled his name Dyrk and a poster went out of his way to correct me in a kind of mean way. Being 18 at the time, I took note and made sure whenever he posted to any thread for like a month, I said something snarky. I was much more vindictive then.
I also remember starting a thread about what Ferro Lad saw in the Evillo storyline and how it might have foreshadowed his death. A poster known as Continuity Kid had a great dialogue with me--I always wondered what happened to him.

Oh, here's another question: when the old DCMBs basically died out, did you make the long journey from there to Rob's to Ships & Giggles to LW? Were you active on all those boards? What was that like at the time? Forgetting about the drama at Rob's, I can only imagine the chaos at the time when it seemed like there was no way for everyone to keep track of where everyone else was.

When DC announced that the boards were being rebooted in May 2003, I had been posting for two years and four months. I had posted to a few newsgroups and one mailing list before this, and they all had run their course after a time, so I thought of the Legion board as just another temporary stop in my adventures on the Internet.
I was delighted then, when Rob invited us to join his board. However, that invitation turned out to be a mixed blessing as our more organized and friendly form of chaos didn't mix with total anarchy. When LMBers made a mass exodus from Rob's board, I again thought it was the end.
Then, a week (I think) or so later, I received an email from Scott (Lightning Lad), inviting me to a new forum that he and Gary (Nightcrawler) had created called Legion World. I checked it out and saw several familiar names. Joining LW was like coming home. I guess that was the moment I realized that there was and is something special about the LMB/LW.
