I first registered back in it's glory days! It was an interesting time with alot of very strong willed people. Alot of great conversation, but sometimes alot of really heated discussions. I've always been very hot and cold with my posting, hence why i have fewer than a thousand...but at the very least i always read the posts. I suspect that happens with alot of the old crew. And a couple of influential members have also passed on.

The reason for my post count being so high is because there was a time when posts would count in the BB word games section and me and Irishman would literally get hundreds of posts a day playing the silly games in there,hence the high post count,so JG put a stop to it..haha The games are still available to be played. Feel free to continue playing them!

Although I wasn't yet a BB member, I do wish I could have been here during 911 to support my NY friends.  There is a very very touching thread started by Don Cardi with on the scene, personal comments from BB members in the NY area. So emotional and heartwrenching. I am sure that was a very significant time of this BB. TIS

There are still plenty of BB veterans around, and i am proud to consider myself one  I'm still around but I left for awhile. I do miss some bb'ers who no longer post for whatever reason like Don Cardi, Partagas, DMC just to name a few. I remember them! They were good, always intersting...along with Turnbull. I also remember Double-J and Appleonya! I wonder what happened to them. BB used to sometimes have alot of drama going on. Another reason why i'd sometimes say off the board for long periods of time.

Drama? Here??! No way....   TB still pops in. DMC, Apple and Part (and some others) are alive and well elsewhere. And Cardi is just very busy. Real life happens, especially these days. I do wonder about Double-J, tho, and some others. Hell, I'm guilty, too! A lot of people just lose interest for whatever reason (drama is part of it, sometimes). And yes, we had a great group back in the early/mid '00s, but we also have gotten "new" people who've lasted a while as well, who are just as great. It's just not as busy -- partly because I think the forum (BB) format has taken a hit since social media has taken off. I'm guilty of that, too!

I still love this place, even if i go years without posting. I still remember the first time i found thegodfathertrilogy.com website. I was 14, my first year in high school, and had a computer class. Didn't have internet at home at the time, so first thing i did was use netscape to search for information on "The Godfather Part 4." Found J Geoff's site. It's where i first read the Leo as Young Sonny bit. That was in 1998. By 2001 i was taking all the wallpapers you had, and reading about the differences between the Epic and Trilogy boxsets! LOL.

MS: Those wallpapers are now probably about 2 inches square on the screen! For a long time I thought about updating that site, but then I thought, in 10 years it'll be museum-ready! And that was 7 years ago lol

I stumbled across the thegodfathertrilogy.com website as i was seaching for the GF timeline (not the definitive one)... I thought MINE was the definitive one! I'm sure WE have put more thought into it than some tool at Paramount

What do you mean by elsewhere? Like on the top of the fantasy standings? Because that's where I've been since I started. #7 out of 12 is the "top" now?

how did you find this site turnbull Johnny Ola brought me here.  Seriously: I believe I read a reference to Geoff's timeline somewhere on the web. I checked it out and e-mailed some comments. Geoff invited me to visit the GBB, and the rest, as they say, is history...

Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
