Net54's 15th Anniversary?

EBay was definitely around in 2001

I have been lurking in the shadows, both here and on the Full Count board, since the late 90's. There are quite a few of us from back then still posting our little collector hearts out.

The Full Count Board had some good threads but way way too many of them ended up as mean spirited nasty posts either towards other people or to other ways. This board is far better than the FC Board ever was

Lurking since 2003...the first big dissagreement I recall was when Leon bought the board and added advertising.

Yes, the advertising caused a rift. A lot of members said the advertisers would be protected. Now, 12 yrs later......proof is in the pudding.....

My brother (Rhys) and I were both around during the original Full Fount forum days. We were probably some of the younger posters at that time and we couldn't believe there was actually a venue for baseball and history geeks like us to get our fix from with other people just a geeky as us about pre-war baseball collectibles!

What does Net54 mean? I have wondered for a while and been too afraid to ask. Maybe it is obvious and I'll feel dumb when someone explains the meaning behind the name.

Didn't a member think he was entitled to a percentage/portion of the advert money because of the quality of his posts or something similar, sort of like residuals from syndication? It reminded me of the Seinfeld with Jerry signing all those $0.01 checks.

Hi Ryan,

I was on the Full Count Board back in the day. Hard to believe that was 15 years ago!
