I became the Graphics mod back in 2014. That section was slowly losing traffic then it was a year or so later that I stopped using Photoshop and haven't posted in there since.
But I'm not the only one. There are a few inactive sections that are on here that could be given the chop.

It's kind of sad.

I remember you were very welcoming👍 That’s a personal question and I’ll ask you not to ask it again! Seriously though on the Classic board I honestly don’t remember/know how long it’s been. All I can say is it was when JokerFC stood down. On the other Figures/toys (non wrestling) it has to at least been since 2013 which was before I became the Classics board mod.

i preferred when we had monthly mod changes
made things stale when only one regime was employed, despite it benefitting the admins by less work doing the changes and finding people reliable for the job consistently, so i understand

Loved being the mod here in Classics. Was constantly coming up with threads & polls, tourneys etc. I was offered being the mod on the main WWE board and I took it on as well as classics which was a huge mistake. Then I became an admin & it poisoned me black on this place for about 2 years because I stepped down & deactivated my account.

It's kind of sad. The whole site really could use an upgrade. Comic & Video game boards could be merged in Entertainment as sub boards. You can ax the UK & Canadian boards. Jakks merged into "other brands" board. Pic feds, poses & action shots merged. Ax the backyard board. Merge any fantasy/E-Feds together. Personally I feel like this place really hasnt been touched much in 23-24 years except just the addition of more boards as new companies (toys or wrestling) arose.

To be fair, everybody was posting garbo aside from like 3 people.

It had to be around/between 2015-2016. I remember getting a message from member/friend Chris Reager, who was a mod at the time that he was gonna be stepping down from his position and had recommended I take it. So later that week I got a DM from (I THINK) from bad guy™ saying I had been in the running and asked if I was up to it. So I replied and been a MOD ever since. My board is fairly quiet except for big news days, Fridays and Saturdays when there are fights on. It's got a small core group of guys that frequent it and talk shop. It's a good time, Always welcome to more people coming to chop it up too! UFC 300 is right around the corner. lol. Anyways, as far as memories go, off the top of my head, the "Ball Straight Call" and other obvious trolls always made me laugh. The end of the Jakks line and the beginning of Mattel was a big deal, nobody knew what was coming and it was nerve wracking. Getting a banter board locked with a group of guys talking about Bacon. I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of stuff, but I've been here since about '08 so forgive my shotty memory.

It was a cold, winter's day in 2008. The sports mod had disappeared two years beforehand and the board was getting extra spicy. I was one of the few regulars who wasn't a mod or piled deep in 99% warning bars so...yeah.
But don't all dictators usually have obscure, minimalistic beginnings?
