Im Gone

Sad to say but you'll be seeing alot less of me. As now, I have left the GB community. I dont know when I'll return, one day. I'll still update, not to worry all. But im not great at good-byes, so: Im Gone.

Falling down & White Knuckles

Is it a persons breaking point, Loss of interest or viral attacks unless they leave the community? I dont know. But so many people have been leaving the Ghostbusters community lately its uncanny! Above all things, CaptainN is considering shutting down the grid. A well known site for its vast multimedia sources and constant updates with Loads of info. What the hell happened here? We cant be going under, Too many newbies arriving in by the boatload(s). Why are all of the long time webmasters and members leaving? As posted, Me & my sites have been under constant viral attacks for a month or so now. But I didnt give up my lust for Ghostbusting & Cadillacs. Im still here, And Im still kicking like a fish out of water. Although, it may just be a cycle of life theory where newbies annoy the long time members so much that they drive them away. There may only be room for so many people in the community. As for the boards I'd like to thank the mods for working double time cleaning up the town there. As well as ECTOMAN's "Newbie FAQ" informing new members about basic board etiquette. Other strong voices have been heard as Bo, JesusFreak & myself. And the question: "only time will tell" - I believe has been answered. For now; I feel Alot better posting now. Rumors of bigger, badder boards have been popping up all over the place, we already know that the GBPA gave GBN a run for its money, Will any of these new boards succeed? once again, only time will tell.

Laugh out Loud

Did someone say "Cut & Paste"? It all may seem a little cheap but it does more than just the trick. Zack Myers has compiled a great selection of humourous Ghostbusters related spoof type jokes. A simple, small page... But to be honest it didnt bother me in the least. If you need a half decent laugh, if want to see Murrays dyed hair & Dan flashing a little something special and Mr.Hudson's lights out goto Zacks Ghostbusters Storage Facility. A lil fan art too with some great celeberty appearances. I can see several additions just flying onto this site soon. As a wise man once said: "Killer Boots Man!!!"

HeavyWeights

For the most part alot of the members are older in age, around 20, 21. But then theres the younger crowd. thats cool too, ECTOMAN even resides in that category. But lately with best efforts out fourth upon the message board filth still resides. A new system of GB messaging is on its way, Only then we can expect a little more peace between others at war. Speaking of, Theres a half decent member of the Ghostbusters community by the name of Proton_Pack. Sounds fancy dont it? Theres also Brendan... we all know this guy, I think that hes getting it all by now. thats good. Hes a big man, taking the fall for what he did. Apologizing like he did. And all this time I seriously thought that he had "down syndrome". Now I dont think that I need to goto into detail with what it is. But with this hefty apology from him I do have a new found respect for him. Anyways, because of this I placed it in reason on thats why he was posting so erratically. My bad, Im sorry guy. Now back to our good friend Proton_Pack. If he were an adult by now he wouldve been arrested multiple times or harassment & assault most likely, reasons being his reaction to my disorder remark towards Brendan. This is what he had to say: :"HEY BACK go F*CK yourself my brother has Down Syndrome and hes the greatest guy ever look at yourself back i saw your profile pic you a huge fat ass so you should talk you as*hole!" . Now either hes 11 years old and still attends Elementary School or hes one screwed up 13-31 year old who enjoys getting his ass kicked in bar fights. Now for those of you who check in to read articles regularly or talk to me alot you all know it takes alot to piss me off and that Im pretty much a pretty "happy go lucky" type of person. Normally if someone came up to me on the street and said that to me Id beat the living hell out of them. Now I ask this of Every larger member/surfer of the Ghostbusters community, Does Proton_Pack  have the right to say what he did? In my opinion, Yes. We all live in free countries for the most part. But was it right? Why dont you ask Proton_Pack yourself. Email him with how you feel: Ghosthead@emailaccount.com Or perhaps cheap shots are his specialty? Quote two from Ptoton_Pack: "HEY BACK your a big man huh (literaly) you threatning me? you fat ass! you want to put down people with down syndrom Ill take whatever tone with you I want bitch you want to start a fight bring it you think you scare me fatty? do I know what you can do to me? you might eat me if you get hungry enough I suppose dont F*ck with me either I wont tolerate bull shit from fat asses who have no Idea what there talking about."But I shouldnt be one to talk either. I got nasty myself, right here:ghostbusters.netTo put it short I just told him to screw off and leave me alone. Now this is merely one of the "he said/she said" situations. But when taken personally it becomes a real problem. im gone.

The Bronx Cranks it Up!

Cant quite seem to find that beat that youve been looking for? Still have all of your audio settings at default? Well The Bronx Ghostbuster can change that in mere minutes. As said by the man himself: "As of right now i'm just doing it for fun. And since i'm doing it for fun I've mixed my love for ghostbusters with my beats. I used samples from the sandman episode of RGB to make three beats. I think they're pretty good...." Well dear friend Bronx, this is more than a bang up job, its absolutely amazing! Each 3 tunes deals with more than a simple remix of RGB, The BronxGB adds himself and his skills of  the art of sound. A personal touch if you will. And its because of that little touch that "HEY CHECK IT OUT", "LET'S SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO" and "NIGHTMARES" will at least be a neighbourhood hit. Ive got them boookmarked. have you?

Check it out, Boom & Farewell

In recent sad Events a long time member of the Ghostbusters community is leaving for bigger things. I wont make this long, Goodbye Dr.Spengler. May luck cross your future paths in life. On the flipside of things if you haven't - goto GBprops.com ...you haven't experienced propping until you've checked out gbuster084's firehall model of the hook & ladder No.8 . Speaking of Updates at GBprops.com you don't have to register, just click on the misc section! unbelievable! There are too many new additions to list and describe. And for all of you who can remember History 101 or was born 40 some years ago Ghostbusters is experiencing a little baby boom of its own. In the article read published on July 4th 02, Due to a Newbie boom at GBN there have been a few problems, but what 2 year old doesn't throw food across the room? No offense. In relation to this so called Boom Ghostbusters has also been popping up all over the media. It may not necessarily mean a comeback or sequel but without a doubt in my mind its becoming more & more recognized as one of the greatest films of all time mixing alot of FX with the marx Bros.

GBN Hitting The Fan

3 words here: What the hell? Is the premier Ghostbusters community site going belly up? In recent events across the Message boards the watcher has been attempting to keep up with all of this sickening behavior, but is that really enough? As posted previously: "Are there enough mods?" some say no. Are there? I am allowed to face my opinion but the decision for more is not my responsibility. Lust for high rank. Thats all he wanted, the feeling of superiority to others. Will that concept really fly? For some being able to feel that way and look "down" towards others is life. Yes. Not to achieve perfection, but to be the superior one of few among others. To a Newbie perhaps, but to others that have been around for 2 weeks, No. Popularity is evident throughout the board, even a contest to some perhaps. But superiority does not exist here, Either you long for Ghostbusters or you dont. The posts have been deleted, but will/could this happen again? As of now - yes. But what then? does the slogan:"Dont fear the Watcher is here" still fly? so many questions. Unfortunately the only way for them to be answered is by it happening again. Should we buckle up? It may be a bumpy ride ahead of us.

Franchise Fever!

Alright Ghostheads, its time to give your lil' old franchise a run for its money! GBVA has launched the Virginia Division of GBI. Still under construction mind you will they kick some ass? or just trail behind the leading competitors? Thus far this man looks like hes more than serious about his work. Dedicated to paranormal removal & disposal. Surely if he has the tools he will exercise his talent. A well laid out Site can explain the Ups and Downs to spook busting, and thats why we have fine print and disclaimers. Equipped with all features and more than expected from your basic franchise site this one could be a hit. A thorough Franchise - And Franchise site only links section (similar to the "find a franchise on MGB, see april and may news clips), Aside from your regular run of the mill Proton pack this guy is packing a specter removal arsenal! too many tools to list. Now,  this site is simple, yet there still is the odd piece of work that you wont be able to take your eyes off of, could we expect  less? I think not. "You gotta try this site!"
