    I'm old enough to have stopped posting 3 or 4 years ago. My only comment is I am glad to see that people can actually post now. The 'Hazel' references are back to a time when if anyone said anything remotely controversial it was deleted instantly and threats where handed out. That would also be why I stopped posting. I am happy to see this thread.

    Now if I could only reactivate my real username...!

    Help me with my memory. I thought the Hazel thing was about someone redirecting CGS users to a porn site.

    I'm listening :-B

    Rebis - that was pretty much it. I believe it was the forums first real hit of someone using an alias to promote their porno site. As the person used a female name, many people on here behaved like most men do when a woman enters a comic store, and eventually she got herself banned for one too many porno posts. If you have internet access and you need to come HERE to get porn fix? You're really not trying. :)

    The aftermath of that was when Khwan, an actual female and talented artist, showed up and many of us, angry over "The Hazel Incident" treated her with suspicion and contempt. Not one of the forums' finest hours, to put it lightly.

    Yep. Guilty.

    However, "Hazel" was but the first of several in rapid succession. The other one I remember specifically was "Hannah Solo".

    Followed by a creepy, rhyming demon version of WetRats. Pandering to some very specific kinks.

    Yeah, Khwan was victim of some really unfortunate timing, which was too bad because not only was she real, but she was also very nice, too.

    Was?

    She's still pretty damn cool, and I'm glad that she dropped by...even if she still owes me some CDs.

    Yeah it was something like that... But in the aftermath there was all this confusion over who or what "Hazel" was. It just became verboten to speak about and even if you made a joke about it it was deleted or the thread was locked. The same with the whole Chuck Satterlee thing.. I still cringe to write the name for fear of getting crapped on.

    Nothing gets people more curious than to be kept in the dark about something.. and it just adds fuel to the fire when you are seen trying to cover up or hide it.

    Chuck Satterlee. I was wondering what happened to that guy. What's the controversy behind his disappearance?

    There was no confusion @ Hazel. Just like this thread's original topic, chalk it up to some listeners thinking they knew the skinny and were clearly wrong. Nice attempt at a spin but it was asked at the time for the listeners to chill and some decided to carry on. Forums aren't a democracy. Act like a dweeb, get treated like one. :)

  • I couldn't really figure out where to post this so I figured this was as good of a place as any.

    Before it was announced (and before he knew) that Mike was being let go from CGS, I had him co-host the debut episode of a spin off podcast I was starting for 'The Lanterncast' called 'The Lanterncast Presents: Green Lantern/Green Arrow'.

    The very first episode was all about the history of the comics industry leading up until the creation of the Comics Code Authority. I had Mike on for the reason that everyone else has already acknowledged, Mike has a WEALTH of information about the industry as well has holds a love for publications involving the history of the industry.

    It was fun to have him on. Well, that episode is finally up. If you folks would like to hear Mike talk once more about comics and comics history, swing by iTunes or the website to download and listen to the show. If you can, send me an email with your comments on the show.

    chad@lanterncast.com

    This is a very new spin off and I have INCREDIBLE things planned for this show and also plan to make it as reverent to the material as I can. I'm really hoping for some feedback!

    NOTE: If you plan on listening from iTunes, then just look up Lanterncast. Its part of the main feed.

    Hopefully you all enjoy it!

    I. I abhor the cult of personality that surrounds some of them and I realize that it is nothing they adopted but have to deal with. I'm sure just like me each one of them have some personality trait I dont care for and I actually enjoy the show more when

    All that being said and I hate dipping my toe in these waters, the sudden re- appearnce of all the "old-timers" for lack of a better word unitentinally gives the appearnce of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.

    I fully admit that it probably is not an intentional thing but a happy side-effect of Mike being gone. There just seems to be an undercurrent of all is better, look at all these guys who are back now that Mike is gone. They are back for whatever reason and I do not know any of them to even really make that connection but as a guy with no friendships or Facebook connections within this community, I just feel like people are dancing on Mike's grave un-intentionally or not. If he's off the show, he's off the show. I felt the same absence when Peter left, a Geek who I had much more in common with comic-wise than any of them. C'est La Vie. I did not feel entitled to know why he left and Mike's sin is not my business.

    I just felt like saying it feels pretty sh**ty and makes the separation that tougher to swallow. I miss you Mike and while I will still listen to the show and enjoy every Geek on the show and the forum members, I wanted to put my pointless voice to this temptest in a teapot. Good Luck!

    Thanks! You nailed it.

    I have two podcasts now. Film Jury will be up shortly. Several episodes are recorded. We are almost done with the website. Thefilmjury.com
    Also I am working on a podcast called nerdhub. We will be launching this in first quarter 2013.
    Both can be accessed by Facebook and twitter.
    I participate often on Flint's Everything Comes Back to 2000AD.

    I haven't been on here in a while. I enjoyed reading through this thread. I felt the love many of you shared with me. Laughed at the vitriol over how insidious I was.
    I'm cranking away at life. My comic drawing plate is full. I'm still friends with Adam and Pants btw.
    If you wish to keep up with me I frequent the 2000ad boards and Facebook.
    Thanks again everyone.
    Gotta go back to my star fucking...
    Cheers!

    Thanks for the update Mike(even if you did give the hornet's nest a slight rattle) I'll be looking forward to your future podcasts. I'm not a Facebook or twitter user so please drop by again when they are officially up.

    Listened to the first episode of Film Jury a week or so ago and it is a fun podcast.

    I signed up back during the original meltdown of this thread with intentions of chiming in but held off because I didn't want to come across as a new poster who was just dogpiling on the rabbit. Since this thread was bumped, by the subject no less, showing that someone hasn't moved on, it's as good as time as any to jump in with the following: I'd just like to offer that the show has been much much much lighter in tone, content and camaraderie since Mike's departure. I am thankful to the Geeks for doing what was right and for thinking of the show and the listeners first, regardless of how they themselves might be perceived because of it all. Take a bow, sirs! It was great meeting those of you that made it out to Emerald City over the past few years (Pants, Bryan, Peter and Adam I think?). Hope to see you again in 2013!!!

    i don't know what you have been listening too, since mike has left it comes across as we lucky they still make the podcast, and pants has nag them to turn up.

    If I might interject here; this couldn't be farther from the truth. Pants doesn't nag, bribe, or force any of us to show up for any episode. In fact, this is the time we normally get to hang out with each other nowadays.

    Now, this notion could easily be drawn from MY comments on the Marvel NOW! episodes, but that's a reflection of the books & marketing scheme, not the show itself. I can only make one recording a week right now, and Pants allowed me some input about which one I can make. If I didn't WANT to be there, I wouldn't be. Pants would try to schedule another episode for my availability.

    As far as I know, there have been no comments, hints, or general atmosphere that anyone was tied to a studio chair for the recordings.
