Alright, I don't remember this and I'm curious about it! What happened?
He commented in the line of his feelings that the site may as well shut down as the 'quality' of the collectors in that forum were not 'up to par' as it used to be.
I remember something about this. It was near the end of the forum nevertheless.
Not to down the DT.net, but actually....as some can here can attest too, I gave away some nice stuff on in the King's closet group well before the DT net existed.
Of course! I even remember that the first email I ever sent in english King-Related it was to you through that group! I can't remember about what, but I do remember the group (and I also learned there that "shit" sometimes is a good thing (you used the expression "give away some shit").
AND I'll never forget about Jerome's postings with his animated gifs. Besides the boobs, I remember one of
V for Vendetta (knives rolling).
I didn't pay too much attention to many of the posters and the attitudes mentioned before, but there were two attitudes I didn't like at all. One was from Jonathan Reitan (Jreittan), who was one of the sponsors of a trivia contest that took place in the chat group of Skeemers. I was the winner of it and the price was the F&SF magazine that contains
Everything's Eventual. Not only he never sent the price (I don't give a shit about the price), but I can't stand someone so full of himself that didn't even replied a single email I sent (and I didn't sent too many) or ignored my posts completely. I stopped trying to contact him when one of the greatest guys I met there (can't say his name, but we all love him and envy his awesome remarques collection
) told me that Reitan was someone that wasn't easy to deal with. I also remember JR complaining openly in a forum that he was after one book and, when someone pointed out the eBay auction, someone else won it (the same person that warned me about him) by placing a higher bid than Jonathan. He complained saying that he was always open to help members with their wishlists and if people won't pay back, he won't as well from that moment on. And forgive me, but it was REALLY FUNNY to see that he always said he was the only "Completist" of King and, when Bob (carlosdetwellier) showed up and started to post his collection, well...mysteriously, Reitan had less and less posts until he finally decided to part with his collection.
The other attitude had to do with the same co-owner last mentioned (female), who was also, for my taste, too full of herself (I contacted her a couple of times with some questions about Grant Books and the replies were too sharp and not informative at all). And then, when the ending was coming, the soap opera they mounted was even funny.
Rick, I didn't know you were banned from the forum! Which one was the reason? Because you sell books? On the other hand, I don't agree about the giveaways! For the starters like me at that moment, it was a great way to get a really cool item!
