Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[IHateMyTreo]

I'm pretty sure the Epic Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread still holds the record as having FAR more posts than anything in AF history... and poor @Steven58 was put in charge of maintaining order in that thread full of nutcases...

<<< never posted in the Pre-release thread. It was before my active time here.

Yeah, some dearly departed predecessors like OfTheDamned and EarlyMon were trying to help Steven... and they had to boot a lot of people LOL

Wonder where OfTheDamned and Baby Blues are today. They were a lot of fun.

They deleted the thread over time. It was too big.

Early was the biggest help, actually.

WHAT!?! It's gone? It should have been archived for posterity. There are likely a few sit-com ideas in there 🤣

I KNOW there were! They could make a reality show out of the thread and it would be better than half the crap on TV now...

I also edited my post to include EarlyMon... because he was trying so hard to be the level-headed oversight guy (and we were pushing every button in his elevator)...

UPDATE:
FOUND IT! All 88,755 posts!

LOL. Just reading the debate on Gingerbread vs Ice Cream Sandwich and concern that a 4" screen is too big 🤣

So many names brought memories flooding back... breadnatty, so many others long gone... I think the icing on the cake - with all the hysteria around the Galaxy Nexus - was when many of us, having tested and tormented Steven for so long, pitched in enough to buy his Galaxy Nexus. Everyone donated what they could and we told him that his phone was paid for. That's the kind of people we had then... it's the caliber of people in charge now... and it's why I'm still here after 15 years.
