Jesus Christ. It is obvious who "The Assassin" is talking about. Am I being a dick in this thread? NO. I may have been a dick back in the day but that was just how I was...this is an internet forum where people talk about action figures, no need to take what CEF said so seriously. I'm 21. Been on these boards and the old boards like AFR since I was like 13. Customizers Elite Forum was a damn joke. Me KDR and dogg all thought it would be fun to make a board making us sound so f***ing cocky and so arrogant...and have it be an exclusive thing for the close group of customizers... and when throwing names around KDR said "What should we name it...something that makes us sound like a**holes..." and I said "What about ELITE".... So we ran with it. What was something that was only supposed to be KDR, myself, the dogg, m2k, and nbt quickly saw all known customizers not reluctantly joining but rather wanting to join. It was fun... we weren't a**holes on the site...Just a bunch of guys who appreciated the art of customizing and didn't just use it as a tool to make some money. If that is your thing though by all means go ahead and do it... If I am wrong then I apologize..But since I seem to be the only CEF member who posted in this thread....and you said it wasn't Gonzo then by the process of elimination I immediately assumed those insults of some customizers who think they are that damn good and really are not was intended for me. Would I be correct in this assumption? Wow, I totally forgot you were part of CEF. I still have active membership there, I go back to check it out every once in a while but its been dead since 2004 or 2005. I don't think you are the one he was talking about Sandman. I don't remember you being really cocky or an ass, maybe you were, I don't remember. And really CEF was about just getting a bunch of guys that appreciated good customs together. It got rapped on this board as being a bunch of a cocky a holes, and some were. But for the most part, most of us were there only to get good opinions of our work instead of 40 "BEST CUSTOM EVER" replies. I remember that towards the end of the old days when I got out of it, I had lost interest in wrestling, and was tired of seeing the star of the week customs as was everybody else. A lot of the customizers had moved on to indy works as the WWE stuff was crap. WWE as a wrestling unit was crap, and was right around the time of the WWE takeover of WCW and wrestling pretty much died for a bit then. It wasn't till TNA came about that a lot of people got back into it. I was never one of them. I have seen a hand full of matches from 2003 until now. I have no interest in it anymore. I still cherish my memories of the old days of wrestling and will watch an old match anytime, but the new stuff I just can't get into. Assassin, as I mentioned a couple paragraph's back, the CEF forum died a long time ago. It was shortly after it started that I got out of the customs. Many of the other guys did too. CK and AWS were probably the last two really active members there. For me, life set in, I moved away from home to go to school and to be with my then g/f who is now my wife, was working 40 hrs a week and going to school for 15 hrs a semester. I'd been itching to get back into it for a long time and just recently I took the step and did it. I'm glad I did. Myself, CK, thedogg, AWS, jsh, CMD, M2K and like one or two others were still there until the place eventually just died. I still have an active account there.. it's thedogg's forum, he made it.

I was there til the end as well. I havnt even posted on here in about 2 years. Nobody remembers me anymore . Cept Joey Eches! Haha Joe M - I saw my name in your list of ppl and i apprieciate it. I loved being a part of CEF and I still love customizing. I still hang out of here all the time and see a lot of good work and a lot of ok stuff. CEF wasnt about being better then anyone, it was apprieciating customizing as an art. Just like Sandman said. I remember when I came around customizing really blew up. HBK and I headed like 3 or 4 custom tourneys, there was a bunch of fresh talent, and we all put eachother over and gave constuctive crititism. I still see a lot of that but I dont think customizing is the same on the board as it used to be. I still love coming back and checking the work but nothing will surpass the fun I had back in 02 I will never forget the decal scandal

one of my first customs I ever posted on here was an RA Bret Hart. I wanna say it was HR2X said I had used decals and there was no way I could have painted it. I used to do some REALLY fine painting details. The fact is, I had painted everything I did, I was called out for lying, proved it to be wrong, and nobody questioned it again.

I think I have some of my old customs on an external harddrive... I've been considering getting back into it for a while, I just don't follow wrestling anymore, so I'd probably do classics, or non-wrestling.
