I was just checking out my profile a couple days ago, when I saw that I first joined LoG in August of 2005. I can't believe it has been that long. So much of my life has changed since then. I was just a kid when I joined and now I'm gearing up to move into an apartment, study in France, and graduate.
Some of you may not know me. I was on the site all the time, but I have since taken to not logging in except if I have something to say.
The whole reason I found the site was because I missed two episodes of JLU and wanted to know what I missed. I never thought that four years later, I would still be here.
I've seen many people come and go. I've had some good friendships on this site.
Honestly, I'm surprised I still get on the site. I don't read comic books regularly and I don't collect the toys. I watch whatever Batman is on TV and that is basically it. But for B:TB&TB, there is far less conversation than there was for TB. So I frequent and talk less and less.

I know a lot of the older folks have moved on for one reason or another. Its really sad, cause we used to have a pretty tightly knit group of really serious collectors on here and they've kinda vanished. A lot of people used to come here just for 'The Batman' cartoon. Since Brave doesn't have the same mass-appeal...well, that cuts down on the number of regular active members. Plus, there isn't much going on with batman at the moment. I'm glad that so many of you are still around and I look forward to chatting with you all for years to come! On a side note..if anyone is into ghostbusters, you might dig my latest project... www.gbcollector.com

[shadow=red,left,300] First, I think this is a great site and I plan on sticking around! Since there isn't anything going on with Batman, why not create another discussion board for upcoming comic book movies. We all know the Green Lantern film will be HUGE! Along with several favorites returning to the big screen! P.S: Cool Ghostbusters site![/shadow]

^A discussion board for upcoming comic book movies makes perfect since! Especially with Green Lantern and numerous comic book movies coming to the big screen!
BTW; Doesn't anyone on this forum realize how big the upcoming Green Lantern movie is? Because it seems that nobody in this forum seems to realize it!

Its not a matter of interest or excitement. I think firstly, its still early on, and 2nd, many of us lack faith and confidence in WB with their DC properties. Im thrilled and cant wait... but Im keeping my fingers crossed and will believe it when I see it.

[shadow=red,left,300]After dishing out a big budget, I think WB should have earned a little bit of confidence in there properties! Sorry I pulled everyone off the subject! [/shadow]

I originally joined back in 2004, left for a bit, then came back. This is definitely the best Batman collector site on the web.

This site has been good to me. I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on how things have changed. I don't intend on leaving any time soon.
I do wish people would get behind B:TB&TB more. It's a fun show.
I would like to add that I'm pretty excited about both the animated and live action GL films. It has only been recently that I've understood what GL was all about and now that I do, I really dig the concept as well as the cast.

[shadow=red,left,300] Dark Nightwing, GL as far as I know, the cast hasn't been announced yet! But there is a poll up on the GL movie thread on asking who would you like to see take the lead role![/shadow]

I've been here since '05, and I've enjoyed it greatly. It's always been an informative and well put together site. I give Matt kudos for a great job, and a big "high five" to the mods that help keep this board running smooth.
