And there were occasional individual issues. Otte starting that rumor that spread through the industry. MOTA calling Gail Simone a bitch. etc.

What rumor?

Otte started a rumour Claremont was taken off Uncanny X-men. It went everywhere.

That Claremont had been kicked off Uncanny X-Men and replaced with Greg Pak.

I don't miss a damn thing about it other than a couple classic threads, but even most of them I've forgotten. The only one I'll always remember is the Xgirl thread.

I don't get this, never thought Khux was a troll, Hell he used to write for the site.

No, he had the Ban Hammer thread where he would essentially count down toward (read attempt to push for) the banning of trolls (and non-trolls too). The original idea was to keep track of who had been banned, but Khux got a bit over-vigorous, shall we say.

Khux kind of got out of control, though.

Did she really send you pics, or were y'all just playing?

Newsarama will always hold a special place in my heart. A small part of me wishes that one day we'd all return there in one final blaze of glory.

That would be great fun lol .

I suggested that we all do just that for one day, but most people said I needed to let go. :oops:

Khux is cool. But yeah, the way he crashed out at Rama sorta mirrored the downfall of Rama itself.

ah, never paid much attention to that thread

he did write for the site though; got pulled after writing something one of the big two didn't like him talking about
