Hello Friends and fellow addicts. My name is Jim and I love Chips. That’s really why I’m here and have been here since the great migration from Chiptalk which was the start of more than a few of our journeys down this avenue. So, yes, I remember:
I remember when Chiptalk started with the Paulson chips Mold Pharoahs club and casino group buy where the chips sold for .90 cents each.
I remember the following group buys for TR King deadwoods and Rounders that were open to All members.
I remember Puggy from Finland who used to post menus for dinner to each new member.
I remember the GCOP group buy again open to All that in my opinion was the best run group buy ever.
I remember A few Grand Cardroom group buys on differing bcc molds each an epic chance to obtain awesome chips for the entire community.
I remember several Chipco and ABC ceramic group buys again open to the entire community.
I remember the first Chiproom sale where chips sold for dirt cheap because some of the over stamps cracked the chip. I also remember the great deals Jim used to give the forum members until flippers ruined it for everyone.
I remember the upheaval about Greg Cagle charging membership for Chiptalk that eventually lead to CT’s demise and the exodus to PCF.
I remember how Tommy now institutes a charge to get ads off your threads and no one complains.
I remember deaths of revered members who’s integrity is still missed.
I remember Secret Santa and exchanging gifts.
My how things have changed...
It’s sad to see the memories of good times and what we have become. I have left before because of the bullshit that happens regularly between supposed friends who only know each other from our shared passion Unfortunately on this forum and am tempted to do so again. Can we somehow restore integrity and community? I’m giving it 39 days before my decision to stay or go. Let’s have a good, honest look at what we really have and try to make it better.
Thanks for going down memory lane with me. It’s 16 years and counting let’s hope the count keeps growing.
BPT
