I got got banned from HLAYG!! It was a huge and very popular Gene board at the time. I was crushed as I lived for Gene and it was my only real connection to other Gene collectors. So I decided to start my own board like HYLAG. A few people would come and post but it took a while to get a good following.
I still read every post every day although I don't post as much, which I always feel bad about about. I still have all my Gene's but rarely get any out. I think I will make the effort this weekend to have some Gene time.
I am glad we have have such a nice group here. I know most have moved on to FB and IG instead of the old fashion message boards. But Gene still holds a place in my heart.
