[Billyu40]

Thank you to those that have sent me replies. I have already utlized these pages.

I remember receiving an unsolicited e-mail from some guy named "Eric" a few years back inviting me to a new website he had created called the "Game Used Forum." I had no idea who Eric was or how he got my e-mail, but I am sure glad he contacted me to be one of the first few members of GUF.

Eric, thank you again for starting the forum....oh how I wish for the old days some times....

So this means that AWA85 is the first member of our jury, correct?

God, if he had the immunity idol and didn't play it, he's going to be kicking himself.

Time for a reward challenge. Wanna know what you're playing for?

In the first part of the challenge you have to examine 3 superstar jerseys and see if you can see the old 'common player' name and number remnants. To complete the challenge, you will need to photomatch 3 game used items using only Getty Images and their incorrectly dated photos.

Collectors ready?

I emailed Adam and told him, him emailing me wasn't a big deal and I appreciated the heads-up of the website. Here's his reply:

Thank you Tony, it means a lot! Just wasn't a smart thing to do and something I didn't even think about at the time.

I used the site a ton so it is a little weird being banned. On the bright side it might save me a buck or two if it slows my collecting down a little (no guarantees there hahaha).

Thanks again for the kind words, take care!

Now, does this sound like a person who had bad intentions. An innocent mistake.

Again, suspending him...give me a break!

Well a rule is a rule. Looks like ERIC should be banned

Do you remember that Granville went bald, when he was still in college?

And yes, the threat of offering authentication makes it a hassle to sell on this site. When GUU starts authenticating, then a new conflict of interest is born.
Fellas, just write up a disclaimer saying you don't nothing about nothing that these fools are selling, and open the "FOR SALE" section.

I also recieved the unsolicited email from some cat named Eric, about his new forum, Game Used Forum.
I get unsolicited emails every day, some from companys that got my address from this very site. And no, I am not in the market for a signed 8x10 of some wrestler on 'roids. But, I delete it and move on.
My lack of posts are NOT some sort of protest about the owners or moderators of this sight. I simply got a lot of sh!t on my plate.
Autographs smear, tackle twill wrinkles, and above all...tears dry.

I don't know about you guys but I find unsolicited emails trying to tell me I need Viagra more offensive than the one i got from Adam

The funny thing is the whole reason this email went out was because GUU isn't offering a for-sale thread anymore...

I'm coming into this discussion late but I had something similar happen to me. I once posted some info on this site about an autograph signing that was listed on SigningsHotline.com w/o knowing that it was against their rules to post their info on public forums. They suspended my membership, I apologized and told them it wouldn't happen again and they re-instated my membership. Hopefully the guys who run this site will do the same soon since it has been made clear that AWA85 offered a sincere apology and wasn't aware it was against the rules.

I am more offended that AWA85 didn't include me in his e-mail blast!!!

Free AWA85 and let's all move onto more important things.
