    Certainly! I'm well past whatever went down, it would be absurd to keep that grudge for ten years. I've been more active here since the past two years or so.

    I still think it's funny though that when this place started the mods were gonna try to crack down on copyrighted EON images in avatars. Obviously that priority dropped. One thing I liked about KTBEU was that we were forced to look for non-copyrighted images to submit, and there was a lot of really great submissions of actors from the 60s which were difficult to find because most of their images on search engines are all Bond related.

    Thanks for that encouraging post! 😉

    And yes, we had to look hard for things we were allowed to show.

    I also recall making certain beginner's mistakes which could've easily gotten me banned if stubornly repeated. Thankfully, the KTBEU mods were very patient, and I trust we are too. 😉

    I remember posting gifs of Bond images like Moore shoving the Thai boy off his boat because I thought it was hilarious, and then the mod hammers came down. I was brand new, so I was given a courteous finger wag.

    Unfortunately not, at least not any further than archive.org was able to save. My understanding was there was a conflict with the domain holder which is partly why that forum was abandoned. After it was deleted, for awhile if you used the original link it would have directed you to CommanderBond.net... which is a pretty spiteful act.

    I don't know any of the details beyond that.

    Wow. Oh, well. "C'est la vie.....such is life" ( in my best Connery impression).

    @Chigawa also passed away, sadly.

    A big reason for why I left for a few years was because of how the transition from KTBEU to MI6Community was handled. I stuck around the Bond and Beyond forum which had a pretty good membership during the early 2010s, but had been limping post-Skyfall. That's where the likes of Perilagu Khan, Lazenby., FieldsMan, Sir Hilary Bray OBE, Largo's Shark, Jack Wade, CommanderJamesBond, etc had moved to after the shutting of the old forum. I tried to keep BAB going, but it's become a place I just wasn't enjoying visiting anymore.

    Crazy to think all that drama happened 10 years ago now. James Page was pretty bitter over how many of us jumped ship.

    All great members! Haven't heard from B. Brown in a long while either, I've got him on Facebook but haven't chatted in some time.

    Wait... Tux was a mod here?

    Yes, Tux was already a mod when I became one. And there were as many active mods back then as there are now, even though we now have considerably more members.

    It was handled in such a way for reasons that were never disclosed. Alot of nasty internal politics meant that the transition had to be quite furtive. It was never designed to deliberately wind up any of the members.
    I don't think James was particularly bitter. He was too tied up in sorting out the transition and he expected some of the back lash we received.
    All of us mods were pretty angry with the level of vitriol we received through the breakaway site, but it's history now.

    I understand that now. It wasn't a good time. I brought up the bitterness aspect because there was a point a year after the transition that I and a few others from BAB popped up here to say hello and reconnect. I was feeling ready to come back because I missed a lot of the folks here and SF was just around the corner, and then Page responded like this: https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/comment/135104/#Comment_135104

    He immediately locked the thread right after that post of his, before samuel001 would reopen it for the 2nd anniversary.

    As I said, I’m past all that, I bring it up because at the time that kind of response really put me and others off. Eventually I’d post more regularly like I do today, and am glad to be here among you all.

    Found an old screenshot of KTBEU from just before it got nuked, and my join date was 15 February. Also, in the screenshot is @TheWhiteTuxedo, who was a prominent mod back in the day, joined 25 March 2003. He's pretty much dropped out of visiting forums altogether I think. I still chat with him and @Fairbairn-Sykes pretty regularly, of course a TON of it about Star Trek.

    Speaking of vets, anyone remember bond_fan, and his infamous audition videos on YouTube that he thought made him a better Bond than Daniel Craig?

    Does anyone remember Bond_fan?
    Oh yes…yes I do. :))
    Unfortunately he removed all of his content and YouTube videos, so there’s no proof of any of his…shenanigans/lunacy/ etc.
    But he was a fun guy, who gave so much material. I wonder what happened to him?
    Probably the CEO of a major global company :))
    We sure had some fun with that.

    I know it’s somewhere out there in the ether.

    I actually knew him better as NetGeek from the IMDb message boards. What a character.

    Oh wow, all this time I thought it was 31st. It's weird looking at my old profile after all this years. Very strange.

    Also, someone mentioned bond_fan. Yeah, I remember him. Unfortunately, images of his dramatically receeding hairline, have been burned into my memoery. I wonder how his audition for Bond went. :-?

    This thread has certainly been a blast to read. Thanks guys!

    I've even got the option of getting my old avatar back now but do I do it, that's the question...

    Found an old screenshot of KTBEU from just before it got nuked, and my join date was 15 February. Also, in the screenshot is @TheWhiteTuxedo, who was a prominent mod back in the day, joined 25 March 2003. He's pretty much dropped out of visiting forums altogether I think. I still chat with him and @Fairbairn-Sykes pretty regularly, of course a TON of it about Star Trek.

    Speaking of vets, anyone remember bond_fan, and his infamous audition videos on YouTube that he thought made him a better Bond than Daniel Craig?

    Does anyone remember Bond_fan?
    Oh yes…yes I do. :))
    Unfortunately he removed all of his content and YouTube videos, so there’s no proof of any of his…shenanigans/lunacy/ etc.
    But he was a fun guy, who gave so much material. I wonder what happened to him?
    Probably the CEO of a major global company :))
    We sure had some fun with that.

    Well I never saw the vid, but yes, I do remember him as well..

    A lot more names come by when I try to find my way through the wayback machine, hoping to find my joining date....


    edit:
    some more interesting names of people that I've not seen in ages:

    Sissilius
    Du$ty59
    Lord Flashheart
    Lalala2004
    Disco Volante
    Mark Hazard
    Largo's Shark

    By painstakingly trying to find your profile. Haven't found mine yet, I think it wasn't archived. But you can try and go through this list and see if it is there:

    @Benny ! @NicNac ! @MajorDSmythe ! @MakeshiftPython ! Wow lots of old school KTBEU users all active eh?
    Pretty sure I joined a day or so ahead of @NicNac , that n00b ;)

    Ah the nostalgia!

    And then again, look at that nice screengrab from another life...
    No idea why Pinesol, Tux and I just decided to switch our avatars for that day. Actually, because that bastard Tux decided to take my Pam pic...

    ENQqAV1.jpg

    Nice to see all you peeps on here. I was just coming to check up on my old ranking thread as I'll probably run another marathon after the new flick releases. Nice to see lots of people posting in there too!

    Was that screengrab from a thread dedicated to collecting DVDs? Really takes me back. I used to buy so many DVDs during the KTBEU days, searching for the best transfers, George Lucas pissing everyone off, etc.

    I believe it was about a specific movie DVD, maybe TLD? I mean for Pinesol Tux and I to talk about it it had to be Dalton :) But that was pre-most of the DVD sets, funny now, but man back in the days I had VHS sets, single DVDs and multiple DVD sets so this had to be before some of the sets?

    And well yeah Tux took my Pam avatar, I then took Pinesol's Dalton pic for fun and then Pinesol took my Clive, I believe I had already changed to Clive from a Pam avatar.

    I remember my first avatar was a picture of a double bourbon or something. I actually did save a much of avatars from KTBEU, I’ll just have to see if I kept them on some hard drive. The Daniel pic I’m currently using was definitely from the old forums, pre-CR.

    I remember that pic for sure and the bourbon rings a bell. Funny I'm sure we could remember many vet's pics. Well the ones who didn't change constantly that is.

    Checking the pic again I guess I was already a mod in 2004 since I have a title, so I was a mod when I used the Pam avatar. I remember when I switched to Clive, a few vets pinged me about it not realizing I wasn't a girl haha! I just liked Pam's lovely smile. Ah the good old days.

    Now there's a blast from the past! You're alive! You've certainly been a mod for as long as I can remember. Not that my memory serves me well, but that's an entirely different story....
    Yes, quite a few pictures were 'dedicated' to certain members. AFAK we had to choose from a certain set of pictures. There was no uploading of your own. For the life of me I can't remember which one I had though.
