Sorry TIS, but I plan on dieing at age 60 at the hands of a 22 year old jealous husband

People please, Dr.Fame's clinic is only open at weekends. However, due to the latest responses in this thread, Im willing to open it tomorrow as well. Heres the schedule:

9:00 AM - Plaw (nervous breakdowns)

10:00 AM- TIS (fear of old age)

11:00 AM- DMC (sexual insecurity)

12:00 PM-

Any other members who seek help, hurry up and book your appointments.

I'll take the 12PM appointment...

But must say, Fame...

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
High

I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
Fame

I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame

I'm gonna live forever
Baby remember my name

Remember
Remember...

:p

Sorry I'm late! I didn't miss the party, did I?

I've often thought about what the BB will be like in ten years, twenty years, and so on.

It seems crazy to think that I'll still be visiting this place when I'm at college, when I start out in my career, when I get an apartment/home, when I get married, when I have kids...yet it seems even crazier to think that I would ever leave.

This is the first and last place I visit, everyday. We all joke about it, but it truly is an addiction. When the site has gone down or been slow for repairs, or when my own computer isn't working, I go through GBB withdrawal - I feel it necessary to make compulsive checks of the board, just to see who's on and what they're posting.

This is the only place I've ever found on the Internet where people actually care. On several occasions, when bad weather was a threat to my city or if I hadn't been posting recently, members checked in with me to make sure everything was okay. This is just one example of the many forms of kindness I've experienced or witnessed here, and I don't think this kindness comes near as easily on other sites.

The GBB is a community. Or, since it's for GF fans, I should say that it's a "family." Without the bloodshed.

As we've gone through tragedy and triumph, and just the normal ups and downs of life, we've all found knowledge, advice, support, friendship, humor, comfort, company, and love.

Geoff, all I can do is give you a genuine "thank-you" for making all of this happen, for providing us with this family, for bringing us all together. Maybe you're just being modest when you joke around about all of this, but it truly is a wonderful thing.

I hope that we can all stay together for many more years.

Updated!

I think we'll have the party at the clinic....anyone else who wants to join, come forward with your issues, I'll be working all day.

Book yourself an appointment for time-telling issues.

If your using the military time, isn't the AM/PM not neccesary, or am I being an idiot?

Or am I just being picky.

Or both?

:D

ok then, updated!

Amazing! thats exactly what Susie told me last night!

I don't even know what that means, so I better attend I guess! :p

Geoff,

I made you some brownies to celebrate the occasion. They were very tasty too!!!


TIS

And just what kind of "brownies" were these?

And just what kind of "brownies" were these? [/b][/quote]Ha ha ha!!! No Bethie, thoses days are long gone. I did try making those "special" brownies though once. Tasted like sh*t!! Not even to mention how the smell of them baking made it rather "obvious" what I was making. Thank God my parents didn't stop by.

TIS

I don't even know what that means, so I better attend I guess! :p [/b][/quote]You stupidhead! (another word you wont understand....I just learned it from "Worst.Movies.Ever" thread, and to be honest, I'm also waiting for DV's clarification on the matter )


Anyway, you sang "Fame" remember? can u get more retro than that? retro-mania. Together : retromania. Final combo :
Retromania Issues. Are we clear now? see ya later in the sport section, Im working on a serious boxing thread...

TIS [/QB][/QUOTE]
Oh, I was gonna ask you to bake some for Philly.

Oh, I get it now... I guess I am a stupidhead!
Or maybe I had too many of TIS's special brownies...

Yea, and when they do a bag search at the airport, will you bail me out??? I may be forced to eat them all before I board. I'd be flying high in more ways then one.


TIS

Yeah, you'll be part of the mile high club all right.

As far as getting them on the plain, the bomb sniffing dog will get a contact high and will be "chilled" and let you on your merry way.

Pat will bring the stuff and all you got to do Beth is get a microwave brownie mix and make it in your hotel room.

JG - check the SF section (the war against the machines has started )

GangsterBB is 8 years old today! Happy birthday!

SC started this thread 3 years ago, and I thought a little revival is in order!

If you have any stories from the last 3 years on this forum that you wish to share with everyone, now is the perfect opportunity!

Some time ago, I tried to get everyone back, all the old timers, and while many have "moved on" with their lives, at least I think we got bogey back in here, which is more than awesome.

In any case, there is still a solid group of members here, who I'm sure will never leave. So here's to all of you guys, and to JG, SC and the moderators: thank you for all the wonderful moments and here's to many more!

I'm working on a little gift. More I cannot say.

Fame

(oh and the clinic will be open all day as usual. Book your appointments)

Fame,

I need a appointment for anger issues. Cuz I'm pissd as hell cuz there was no BB weekend last Summer and it looks like there won't be one this year.

I see Fame is always on top of things! I was gonna post at exactly midnight but had to take care of something else first. Thanks, Fame

And damn... We were all so much younger then!

The years seem to go by faster and faster. I can't believe that it's been EIGHT years since these new boards have opened but I remember it like yesterday.

I was a spry 50 years old then; I was out of work at the time and spending a lot of time online on the old boards.... Don Cardi and I were discussing a possible joint business venture and he had just turned me on to "The Sopranos". Beth's sister had just told a funny story about how "You've Got Mail" (the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movie) had turned her on to "The Godfather". Some anonymous poster (you didn't have to log on to post then) was hounding Deathkiss (who was holding her own against him). Turi was posting mainly in the "Scarface" section but even then he was cracking everyone up. Geoff had announced a few days earlier that he'd be changing the board's format.

It was a hot Friday night, about midnight, when Geoff finally posted that he'd start opening the new board for registration. The rest, as they say, is history.

This has been a great venue for making friends, having serious discussions, having laughs and passing the time with some wonderful people.

Thank you Geoff for opening and maintaining these boards!

Happy birthday GBB! To see old posts in this thread, specially that of Paul was very nostalgic. Thanks to all that make this place so wonderful.

man...you guys are old lol j/k

Yeah Afs, that's why I didnt want to start a new thread. I wanted to revive this one because I find it symbolic to make the connection between the past, present, and future, especially in such a nostalgic thread, which is set to take us all back in time. I think we should keep this thread as the "official BB birthday thread" for as long as this forum lives. (forever that is


JG - I know the forum went through many changes and a lot was deleted, but I wanted to see some screenshots back from the early days SC was just talking about. So I tried the Wayback machine, but it will only go back as far as August 2004 (I used the current address gangsterbb.net) :


http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://gangsterbb.net


Then I tried it with www.thegodfathertrilogy.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

...but I got no results.

What was the forum address back in the very first days?

You'll have to give me enough time for that to come back to me. It was a 3rd-party server. In fact, it was something like server.com or something similar. Not my domain.

I joined GBB approximately 1,503 days ago!
I found GBB by accident and I thank Google for finding GBB, the greatest search engine around it makes your life easier 'ok ignore that part, i was paid by google to advertise around' anyway, here's how I found the GBB. I was 15 year old kid back then with raging hormones and if my memory doesn't betray me I think I was looking for Talia Shire nude pictures....

I'm not much of poster, more like a silent reader.
I'm really surprised how and when did I reach over 850 posts, I wonder if I did spam.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY GBB! and peace be upon you all GBBers and God bless. =)

DAMN!

I don't even remember this page (click on "Message Board" on the left), but this was it...

http://web.archive.org/web/19990219143943/www.jgeoff.com/godfather.html

And it was disc.server.com -- But too bad the actual topics weren't saved. But those are the topics from 1999 -- 10 years ago!

(At the same time, while we keep thinking 8 years ago was a long time -- at this point, it really wasn't. I had just moved into this (effing) apartment just a few months earlier (and soon thereafter getting laid (off )) found myself online quite a bit more. That job at Marvel still seems like it was yesterday. These forums seem like a lifetime ago -- maybe because of the lifelong friendships that have been made here.
