I've been curious so seems like a place to ask.. What's the origin of the net54 name? Was it a 54 Topps board? Or started by a Gene Schott fan? Or something else altogether?

The board used to be hosted by Network54.com .. This name is a derivative of that...

I think some people perhaps are misinterpreting the OP's comments. I don't think he, or the others that agree with him, are saying that these threads and discussions are bad or not interesting. I think they are just commenting that they don't belong in the section of the board where Pre War card discussions go. The board has sections so that there some organization and grouping of like subjects. This allows people who are looking for a certain topic to know where they are likely to find that topic being discussed. I collect Lou Gehrig memorabilia and autographs and have no real interest in reading about 1948 Bowman or 1941 PlayBall, so am glad there is a memorabilia/auto section. I appreciate that I don't have to wade through posts that have no real interest to me. I know it wouldn't take a long time, but it's still nice to not have to do so.
Say RIP to Prince or other famous people who influenced our society in one way or another is definitely reasonable, but shouldn't it be in the Off Topic section? He was not a baseball player from before WW2. Not sure why it's so wrong to put the RIP thread in the correct place. I appreciate Leon's looser style of governance, but can also understand that some might feel the balance of posts shifting and wish it weren't.

Who cares? If you want to read a topic read it if you don't don't. Not like moving a bunch of stuff off the main page is going to produce any more pre-war posts.

I always thought Pre-War referred to pre-WWI. The war to end all wars. How did that work out?

Then why have different sub forums? Let's just post everything on the main forum - B/S/T listings, Post War, Memorabilia, Autographs, etc. - and people can just sift through the threads and only read the topics they want to read?

I don't really care but agree with this. I collect post war and visit that forum as well. Perhaps more members would check it as well as other sections if posts were made in the proper place.

Nice T5's, Ed...Here's a Playball card which is obviously not pre WWII, but is in the spirit of this section...
