huge congrats to Scott for his dedication to the hobby of poster collecting
as far as forums go, MoPo was my first forum of any kind I think as I
did not participate in idle chatter for the most part back then and
there were no comic groups I had cared to join.
thanks for the memories

The "Victorian House" of movie poster discussion groups (as Rich H.
described MoPo earlier this week) is 15 years old today!
The first MoPo message was distributed via the American University
listserv on February 24, 1995. There had been a brief period prior
to that when the first MoPo members simply copied their posts to
each of the 11 members. Adam Ehrlich was a student at AU at the
time and was able to secure a spot on their listserv and an
automated MoPo began! I'm thankful we're still able to use AU's
listserv all these years later.
We may not have all the modern bells and whistles like some of the
"younger" discussion groups, but what we have still works...old
school it may be. I credit all of you, our loyal members, for that!
Thank you for being here and sticking with it.
As I do every year, I want to recognize MoPo's first members...those
people here at the very beginning:
Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai
Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam
Ehrlich, Static555 (thanks to the AOL e-mail system Mr.Static's true
identity is forever lost) AND myself.
Michael, Rob, and Evan are still MoPo members.
I find it interesting that when there's conflict between those
"other" poster forums, the debate often takes place on MoPo...case
in point the "interesting" discussion between MPF and APF that
occurred earlier this week. Perhaps I should take this as a
compliment...after all MoPo is known for fairness, free speech and
(most of the time) civility. The respect MoPo has achieved as the
"granddaddy" of movie poster discussion groups is because of each
and every one of YOU!
Thanks for another great year.
