Classics, Community and the short lived but greatly missed Continuity Boards are just about all i visited regularly on CBR.

Continuity Board, I don't remember that at all. Funny, I thought I'd checked in at pretty much everything on CBR, even the ones I didn't participate in.
There were some great discussions at CBR, that's one thing I do miss. We don't do as much of it here as I think we're capable of, given the wide variety of interests, experience, and knowledge that I know this membership has at its collective disposal. I'm as guilty as anyone, and much more than some - I don't initiate much and don't even participate in as much as I could. But perhaps it's also a question of numbers - there were so many people at CBR that any thread could unexpectedly develop into a huge free-for-all. Of course, that sometimes showed its down-side as well.

The Classics board replaced the Continuity board around '98. There were some great discussions on Continuity but there was also quite a bit of bad behavior, too, mostly from the guys who went on to form the nucleus of the Rumbles board. They didn't follow us to the new Classics board, which was lucky enough to have three top-notch moderaters during its run, Jonathan "Goldenager" Bogart, Aaron "Sir Tim Drake" Kashtan, and Scott "Lone Ranger" Mahaffey, who insisted on (and, just as importantly, enforced) the rules of civil discourse we still enjoy today at CCF.

Where are they now? Aaron, who was still in high school when I first met him in person, is now a professor at the University of North Carolina - Charlotte. Scott is an attorney and family man in Canada, though I've forgotten just where. Aaron drifted away from CBR after he started his higher education. We're still in touch via Facebook. Scott didn't follow us to CCF, and I haven't heard from him since, something I need to do something about one of these days. I didn't really know Jonathan very well and have no idea whatever became of him.
Cei-U! I summon the old friends!

I totally started posting on the Rumbles boards!
Jonathan is in Chicago. He's still writing on the internets.

Scott is in Toronto. He and his wife do a podcast called "Married With Clickers." He's not on Facebook, so I haven't managed to keep in touch with him. Jonathan kind of drifted away from comics and thus CBR well before the meltdown. He seemed to become much more interested in music. He had a music oriented blog that I followed for a fair while, but I've lost track of that also. |

Oh gosh, the Rumbles board! I'll cop to making a troll post or two there. It was often a comically stupid place. I remember in every argument revolving around The Avengers vs. the JLA, there was one poster who insisted the Flash would single-handedly win the battle by running through every Avenger at just under escape velocity, like a bullet I suppose, killing them all before anyone could blink. Good times.  |

Wow, I had no idea about his prehistory at CBR; I used to occasionally read his blog (Seduction of the Indifferent) when he was still posting. I also remember listening to the first few episodes of the podcast, but had no idea they kept doing it after he stopped blogging.

Yeah, I followed "Married with Clickers" for a good while. Haven't listened to it in ages though...if they're even still doing it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Scott is the CBR Classic Comics person I miss not being here the most.
