For me it was Ash-then known as Ash the Cat.
and Scott--a very unique guy-I miss him.
All Hallows and Menard-Hallows-of course-is still here. Menard-he pokes up!
Trek Geezer,and the very missed Sister Grace.
And-of course-Trevor-who is very near and dear to my heart and beloved by all.
Don't get me wrong-these were just the first I was endeared to.
And-of course-the reason I floated here-Andrew-his unique humor and love of these films that brought us all together-I been back and forth-mainly because of money and family problems-but I really love all you guys-newcomers-old timers-we are family!
Lets get MUSHY!!!

Mine was Mr. RC Merchant himself.
In my very first post we were talking about THE GEEK, that terrible 70s Bigfoot porno.
I mentioned that very same movie in one of my most recent posts responding to Menard's bragging about having a Bigfoot porno-writing buddy. :teddyr:

You,my freind-were the first who I got to talk to about that witch is still very near and dear to my heart-and that was the classic films from the old days-the Universal horrors. My first love-and still-has always been with the old Lugosi,Karloff,Chaney films-Famous Monsters of Filmland was my Bible. FJA was more of a father figure to me-as warped as that may seem-then my own father.
Hmmm. I guess my early friendships on here were with Cheezeflix and All Hallows Day . . . and you, Ronnie!
Then Trevor, and Sister Grace, whom I miss . . . Killer Bees, and Dr. Menard - who was kind enough to give me a sub forum in a little forum he created. It didn't last but it was still pretty cool.
And my new friends, like Alan and Tracy, who I chat with frequently.
And a longstanding friend whom I introduced to this place - ER.
This really is my internet home, you know it?
LOVE YOU GUYS!!! :cheers:
I enjoy evryone on the boards-heck-I'm even giving my arch nemisis WW a second chance under his new alter eg0 Simon!
I stress the word first-I rally enjoy hanging out with all of you guys-its been nice-dang! I joined about 9 years ago!
It was right after I learned about how to use computers!
Real close to? First? Must have been Doggett. Then Trevor. Or maybe the other way 'round. Seems to me they have always been there so it is hard for me to tell. Several others I consider friends (they know who they are, I hope) since then but I am pretty sure those two were the first.
Everyone loves Trevor! :wink:
Where the heck is Dogget lately? I dont talk to him a lot-cuz hes busy with his life-which is swell, :smile: I see him on FB alla time-I think hes doing the family thing-which is FanTastic! :thumbup:
Probably Dogget and Darksider. We gotta get the band back together man :teddyr:
I got some pretty good advice from Peter Johnson.
I can't say that I'm really close to anybody on the board, mostly because I'm just not that person. But I've been here so long it's inevitable.
To this day, Ash is the only person I have ever had an actual conversation with. It was the Xbox connection, we played a session of Gears of War. He also named me in a YouTube video he made when YouTube was new. That's right, YouTube was new. It's been a long time.
Also, for some reason, the Andrew chose me as one of the guys to help proof his reviews. It was a long time ago, but I've had many talks with Andrew and Derf about grammar choices.
ulthar, a guy not around so much these days, has been my debate partner for ages. We don't agree on much, but the arguments have been fascinating. I called him the smartest guy on the board, and I would still have to agree with that. We really don't agree on much.
Quick shout-outs. The Good Rev, same fascinations, I sent him some silly reviews. Trevor, ah, Trevor. I've said so many very mean things and he always comes out laughing. The Darksider, well, he's meaner than I am. RCMerchant, dig that guy's art.
Oddly enough, my favorite person on the board is Newt. We're not close, but apparently we share a very particular frame of reference, which is always nice.
To anybody I forgot, don't feel bad, I'm usually drunk when I write things like this.
Oh, I almost forgot. indianasmith and I are almost polar opposites in every way, except that guy has incredible taste in movies. If he says a movie is good, you can pretty much guarantee the movie is worth watching.
Unfortunately, I've never met anyone from this forum in person :bluesad:. However, we must ALL feel very close to Trevor because we know intimate details about his undies. I can honestly say that, based on the banter in this forum, there is no one here that I DON'T like (except for the occasional troll). This is the only website except for Facebook where I feel like I'm actually talking to the people and not just posting random questions and answers to a bunch of nameless, faceless avatars. I salute you all :cheers:.
Not real close, but some very cool ones to me include Trev, Indy, RC, Umaril, Rev, Burgo, DS, Trek, Ed, Venom, Mari, Jack, Sprite and others that escape me at current. Thanks for being cool cats!
It was MENARD who brought me here, from the now defunct SciFilm forum. JASE also was on that forum. But it would have to be our own RCMerchant (BELA) that I feel closest to and is my first friend here. I have always admired CIRCUS though he hasn't been on here for a year and a half (I just recently asked him again to come back - through f**kfacebook - I do miss him being around). Darksider is a cool guy that I don't interact with much anymore, but I always like to see him around.

As though there aren't enough reasons for the peasants to be revolting (and they are truly revolting :wink: ) you have to blame that on me. :tongueout:
Newt who Id honestly consider a big sister. AHD who's eccentric nature is enlightening and brings life to the forum. Andrew of course who is a true gentleman. Circus who is my brother from another mother. My platonic life partner Doggett. JJ80 whos wit is beyond measure. AndyC who is a fellow critic of all things annoying. The always kind Trevor. And the wise OLD owl himself Jack who I relate to on many levels.
Ah hell theres too many to list...
It was a tough transition for me when I first started coming here after Scifilm's forum was discontinued. I missed and still greatly miss a number of folks who posted there (many of whom still remain really good friends, I also have a number of friends from the IMDB boards who started posting at Scifilm after IMDB lost its appeal). Some regular/semi-regular BMO posters did regularly visit Scifilm too though including Andrew, Andrew Kidd, Gerry (who was webmaster at Scifilm), boyscoutkevin, and Menard (who actually invited me over here too). I do wonder whatever happened to IronWolfe and Andrew Kidd in particular. Of course, AHD being here was pretty cool even if we did have a few disagreements over certain stuff at times at Scifilm where perhaps I took things a bit too seriously at times. Was very happy to see him here and he remains one of favourite people on this board. Also Andrew was very welcoming.
Not sure if I can really say I'm overly close to anyone on this board but I have enjoyed interacting with many posters here. Trevor is a sweetheart. ulthar I consider super cool. Raffine and RC stun me at times with their knowledge. umaril knows his stuff too. Newt, Jack, Doggett, Circus all have been very cool to me. VenomX, bob and Happy Gilmore feel like my wrestling buddies and are all tops with me. Also really enjoy reading stuff from Darksider, Ash, retrorussell and Trekgeezer. Miss Shadow, KillerBees and GWD. Lots of great posters here (some seem to come and go and some like Cheezeflix and Susan are greatly missed by many) and a really friendly, fun atmosphere overall is what keeps me around and coming back.
I like the community and you all are all pretty cool guys and girls, but I don't think I'm particularity close to anyone here.
I'm not really close to anyone here but I always enjoy coming here :cheers:
I'd have to say, not really close, but appreciative of the group and your imaginations. And Andrew for starting this place, and having the ca-hones to be a full time marine.
Stay weird, people! :twirl:
My first buddy was Trek, whom I miss dearly and hope he is doing well. Ash and RC were later additions whom I feel close to (and worry the hell about). Trevor is the only person who is privy to my "real" life. Rev Powell is a joyful nemesis and I always apprecaite his input. And Andrew is a saint in camo.
Others I greatly respect are Indy, retrorssel, and Paquita. Manard is worth a laugh when he deigns to appear, and his anti troll abilities are second to none.
Frankly theres not a one of yez whom I don't like and love hearing from.
-Ed
Trevor.
He is there in South Africa, and I am here in the U.S., and that is as near as I want to get to him. Till such time as he starts to change his underwear on a daily basis.
Trevor.
I wouldn't say I'm *real close* to anyone but I'm fond of Jack, Mr. Vindictive, AHD, & HappyGilmore; and in general this is a good group of people. :cheers:

I enjoy
ChaosTheory because of his wicked sense of humor and he is kind to cite me. And
HappyGilmore has great taste in music.
Oh! I like
VenomX73 (whose name and membership changes too often) but I know he's here in NJ.
Several members are lucky enough to cite
Andrew as a friend. I wish I could, but I think he tolerates me. A lot. I will always admire him and look up to him. He is my internet hero.
I'm blessed, and cursed, with a long memory.

As much as I love Brother Doggett, I would quite willingly battle him for the fair Maiden Newt's hand. :smile:

Aww.... HUGS and MWAH: a virtual gift of roses and chocolates for you. :smile:
Let me just put this out there:
I came here looking for info on the film Billy Jack.
I found that info and a great review by Andrew.
I had a look around and signed up.
I came, I saw, I stayed.
Because I found a home and more importantly, I found a family.
I love all of you, very, very much.*
* How can I not love you all? You tolerate me, my terrible reviews and my bad undies. :wink: :teddyr: :teddyr:
