OT: Veterans of the CR board, circa 2004-2006.

I've basically avoided all of mainstream franchise forums on IMDb, including comic book films, Twilight, Star Wars, etc. I basically joined IMDb when Bond 21 was going into production and remember CR as being the most troll infested and active board I've ever been on (well, Film General and Politics gets bad as well but I could weather those much easier). With the forums being shut down soon, any old school posters want to share fond memories of the old place?

Obviously there's the joke of net_geek and the insanity of the user known as The Young Lion. Also can't remember if the "Austin Martin" nut was there or elsewhere.

I certainly remember the Adrian Paul posts. I was definitely into that selection at the time, but I certainly wasn't the only one. He was in my top five even before Brosnan was "officially" gone.

Statham was never Bond material, but that doesn't mean his awesomeness is of a lower quality. I never really understood the huge support for Clive Owen in general. He is a better than average actor that took too many below average roles, and I guess Craig is somewhat similar to be fair. I am glad that Owen wasn't ultimately considered.
