POSTS OF THE PAST


"Posts of the Past"
(last updated on May 31, 2002)



This is the section of my website where you can relive the "good old days" of the Internet, and fondly recall those thrilling days of yesteryear -- er, that is, last year or so! Yes, here are some of the posts that have appeared on Comics Message Boards during the past few years, saved just in the nick of time for posterity before they faded into the oblivion that eventually awaits most old posts!

Alvaro's SUPERBOY Message Board (early 1998)
Just the main page of the board... those links to the posts no longer work!

CBR's Miscellaneous Board (1998)
This is what the main page of Jonah's Comic Book Resources' MISCELLANEOUS Board looked like in Nov.-Dec. 1998. This board was later renamed the COMMUNITY Board. Again, the links to the posts no longer work.

    You can view more old posts at:

  • AVENGERS Message Board Postings of Ian Watson
  • Ian is one of the best writers I've ever read on a message board (comics or otherwise), so I'm glad that he has an archive for his posts. He writes about the Avengers in the way a literary critic would, which results in many thoughtful, original, and intelligent posts. Give him a read!

  • My CAPTAIN AMERICA Page (which has the Archives from 1997 of Alvaro's Captain America board)

  • MY JOURNAL
  • (where I've saved a lot of my own posts over the years)
