What was the culture of this forum a decade ago?

Leon asked that I add my name. I guess the 'Lee' reference caused some discomfort.

I'm Martin Dalziel (pronounced D-L hence the ID) from Coventry, England originally but in the States since 1981 and a proud US citizen.

Another difference from back when; we all went by our online names as there was little need to have to spell out your whole name.

The original Full Count board had about the same number of posts per day that today's reborn Full Count board has. The biggest difference today is that the board has a lot more viewers and members. Today, if you ask..."What card do you think is Obermann's favorite T206 card? Olbermann pops up on here and says, 'Rebel Oakes' or whatever he said.

Lee never had anything to do with this board other than being a valuable member. However, I am sure Lee would accept flowers if you really miss him. As for the PM I sent you about your name it doesn't have to do with this thread. It has to do with the comment (opinion) you gave concerning Heritage, in another part of the board. And yes, this board makes everyone be accountable for what they say with their full name. The forum is 25x as large as it was 10 yrs ago too so it's not a quaint little forum as much as it was..
I should add that Lee is also a valuable advertiser, a difference from 10 yrs ago too .
