What was in Classic Comics Library volumes #1 through 320? When was volume #321 published and by whom? Pictures are nice, and very helpful.

Interesting that all the stories are taken from early PEP and JACKPOT issues, since public domain scans of all those issues have been available for some time now at sites like Digital Comic Museum. If you really want to identify the source of individual stories, that's where I'd go to look.

Just for laughs, here's a good one from PEP #39 (1943).

?   

I don't see anything.

What was the username of the guy that had this incredibly huge Archie collection? I remember there was a great thread where he would post pics of all the Archie things he had-a room full of goodies. He even mentioned knowing and hanging out with Bob Bolling, I think, and maybe even Dexter Taylor, too. And he had the pics to prove it. I miss those kind of threads 

Yeah, that was Forsythe.  He's collected the whole of Archie comics TWICE.  Selling off his books in the early 90's and then getting them all again...  Pretty awesome.  He used to travel and do cons supporting Graham Crackers Comics, so he had a lot of connections.

It was no one's fault the old forum died, but losing eleven years of threads makes the new forum feel second best. It is 2006 all over again, except without the unity, innocence and optimism.

I'm fairly certain some fault can be found.  We lost a great amount of info, plus contributing members like Frank, Forsythe, Captain Hero, Chuck, and Greg who are still involved in the hobby.

Yeah where did all these Archie historians go? Are they still interested in Archie? Are they posting somewhere else? Or is there just nothing to say now that ACP puts out so little Classic Archie.

Forsythe still contributes to the reprints and is credited. Greg is a head guy at GCD, Chuck is doing his thing(plus a blog), Captain Hero still reads, and Frank is still in comics, but I haven't communicated with him in nearly a year.

Where would I find Forsythe's name credited, Steve? Surely not in the digests (or their bigger brothers, the Giant Comics and 1000 Page Comics digest re-reprints), but is it mentioned somewhere in the small type on the indicia page of TP and HC collections? What actual name (I assume it's not actually Forsythe...) would I look for?

What actual service is he contributing to ACP? (Credits, story selection suggestions, guidance for where to find original stories, etc.) Does he get paid for this, or is he just volunteering his help?

The most recent I've seen is the "75 Years 75 Stories".  He contributes old stories that ACP doesn't have copies of and I don't know if he receives compensation.  I can PM you with his name if you'd like.

I think forums are fairly old style and it's hard to go through it but I have this app called Tapatalk and it makes everything SO much easier and it's the only way I go on here it's fast and effective

These "old" style forums do allow people to have actual discussions beyond just the "hit and run" comments that seem so popular other places.  There's advantages to this type of site beyond "look at me, 'like' me" so common elsewhere.

Totally agree, Steve. I have zero interest in posting 140-character shout-outs, so I've never had a Facebook account, and probably never will.

I see what you did there.  A 141 character post.  Quite clever and subversive some might argue.

Why almost everything new members leave the forum after 1-2 weeks?
Many of these members are interesting and very active here. 

Does anyone realize how ironic it is that the person who made a thread complaining about this fact is themself a "Posts a bit, then deletes their account" poster?

I don't know how to interpret this.   Nuogeo posted quite a bit.  The posts weren't goofy or off handed.   I posted in the Shoutbox when he/her deleted their account and received no response.  Nuogeo spent quite a while here while the "New" board was up and running.

I dropped off paperwork to my new job and then went to luch at Dairy Queen. Brought a snack at Dollar Tree. Now on the bus going home.

I miss Dairy Queen.  I was a fan of the "Peanut Buster Parfait" back in the day.

It wasn't a spam post- thought it was okay to share my business page as I have archie theme merchandise

Is it possible to get my posts back and score?

It would be nice to get your posts back.  You were here since what, early 2015?

Today was my 37th birthday & it was my brother too. I did my workout before he came. I have a new Richard Simmons dvd, Boogie Down The Pounds. I have done it 3 times this week. My brother bought me Sacred Heart & My Friend Jeffrey Dahmer. And a $25 Amazon gift card. I bought him a huge Metallica book & Kiss Legos & $25 Modell's gift card. And I also o got a movie.
I wrote to Sandy Jarell about if he do a commission for me. I can use my birthday money for it. But I'm not going you guys any details yet. You'll see when I post a picture on my Twitter.
I was able to get in the car with my mom & brother's help. We went to feed Archie. He is a stray cat. That my mom takes care of. And we went to White Castle. We had chicken Rings & fries & cheese burgers. I decided not to have supper.  I did a second workout, I lifted weights for 30 minutes.

My Friend Dahmer is a very interesting book.  I've been a fan of Derf for years.

I'm kind of intrigued by the Jonah vs. Yosemite idea. I'm also kind of, I don't know, embarrassed that I would find this interesting.  This is an example of why I usually place the importance of writing over art.  A great story could make this (or any of the examples) a "win".  Al Jaffee could make this entertaining to a degree, but It's the writer that needs to be on point here imo.

The IDW "Best Of" Lucey, Shwartz, and/or DeCarlo volumes. Also any of the Bob Montana Collections of dailies are great fun imo.

Well I hadn't thought about those cafeterias in stores for quite a while, but it was the norm in the sixties/early seventies. K-Mart usually had the as did my old employer Murphy Mart in Bethel Park PA. Even Sears had one at the anchor Sears at the mall. Usually pretty cheap and mostly decent food. Sort of good the way food in bowling alleys tend to be good. Often it was in a raised area a couple of feet off the store sales floor so you could gaze out at your next purchases as you grazed on the food.

I was in the Harrisburg area, and can relate to what you're saying.  One of my favorite things to eat as a kid  was the fish sandwich and fries at the local bowling alley.
