1/5/2016 Topic: What happened to the old forums? Kairi Administrator	I'm glad to see forums return to CPG! It's a shame that the old forums were not recoverable, but it is nice to see them come back to the site. The full integration is really nice as well!
1/6/2016 Topic: DOG'S COMIC HOUSE Kairi Administrator	Wow, your brother has an amazing collection! I wish I had some of those, especially Avengers #1 and Amazing Fantasy #15! Thank you for sharing those pictures on here; I enjoyed looking at some of the issues in his collection as well as the ones in your collection! edited by Kairi on 1/6/2016
1/6/2016 Topic: CapnDoug's Back Issue Discoveries Kairi Administrator	Nice to see your thread come back, Doug! CapnDoug wrote: It helps that I've gotten my girlfriend into collecting, too. Yes, you most certainly have. :P I'm glad that I finally started after being interested in starting a collection for the longest time!

Now, when I find some interesting issues that I think you might like, I can just slip them in your box. There are some good things that I've put in there. You'll enjoy them. At least I have finally started now and have a nice small collection that is rapidly growing! I'm sure I will have that box filled eventually; I can't wait to see what you put in there!
1/7/2016 Topic: Gilgandra's movies & TV series collection. Kairi Administrator	Hooray for Studio Ghibli! I absolutely love My Neighbor Totoro; it's such a great movie. Totoro is so adorable too! I haven't had a chance to see Arrietty yet, but I heard that one was supposed to be good! I will have to see if I can see that soon! I haven't heard of Monkey before, but that sounds interesting. I'll have to check that out if I can although I'm not sure if I'll be able to find that here. Thanks for sharing!
1/19/2016 Topic: That Jerk's Stuff Kairi Administrator	That is an amazing collection of Fantastic Four issues!

It can be bought from the UK or here in Australia. Some nostalgic marshal arts fight scenes. Dubbed out in English with much humor & the acting for it's time was brilliant. They are all gods that were kicked out of heaven for various reasons & left to roam earth, One as a Pig god & a Fish god. Monkey was always King Monkey who self proclaimed himself to be a "great sage, equal of heaven". As a laugh the gods gave him the most important job of looking after the "Garden of immortality" were Monkey got hungry & ate all the peaches that take a 1000 yrs to ripen. He becomes immortal, all wise & powerful, As punishment Buddha encased him in rock as heavy as a mountain for 500 yrs with a special note (spell) that won't let him lift it. Until a kindly priest came along who hired his services to take him from China to India. Thus it all begins... edited by Gilgandra on 1/10/2016 Arrietty sounds good by what I've heard of it! I'm currently trying to watch all of Studio Ghibli's films, and that one is near the top of my "to watch" list! Monkey definitely sounds intriguing to me and I'd like to see it if I can. I likely won't be able to find it here, but I'll be on the lookout for it just in case I actually can find it since there are a couple video stores and import shops that may have it. Hopefully I will get lucky!
1/19/2016 Topic: What do you do for fun? Kairi Administrator	I like to play video games for fun! I am currently working through my backlog, which just keeps getting larger along with my growing collection :P I also like reading and watching a lot of movies in my spare time.

Arrietty is a total 180 deg. flip, So heart warming & what music by Cecile Corbel. Damn i gonna watch it again soon now Lol. I heard it's really sad! I normally don't get emotional during movies, so I'll have to see how I end up handling that one. Hm...seems like I should try to watch Arrietty and Grave of the Fireflies around the same time if I can. I could watch Grave of the Fireflies first, and then I could watch Arrietty afterwards to have something to cheer me up from the other movie! I really like movies that have good music too, so I'm looking forward to hearing the music from Arrietty!

Why didn't i think of that Let me know how you get on with them, You'll never be the same again! Listen to this & weep in happiness Lol. From the opening of Arrietty... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpWW04UYs6Y edited by Gilgandra on 1/28/2016 I'm definitely going to have to have a movie day soon and watch them! I will definitely let you know when I watch them! I checked what Studio Ghibli films the closest library had, and it has Arrietty! Unfortunately the library doesn't have Grave of the Fireflies, so I have to keep searching for that one. Thanks for sharing the song! I really like listening to that; it sounds so beautiful! I really want to hear the rest of the music from the movie after hearing how excellent that opening song is!

Kairi Administrator	aarondawe wrote: I'm a big Studio Ghibli fan ever since I caught the massively butchered Warriors of the Wind (Nausicaa) on pay TV in the 80s. Even their worst films are still pretty good (the Ursula le Guin adaptation was pretty weak). About 15 years ago, I was writing for an anime magazine and I was given an opportunity to interview Hayao Miyazaki at the Toronto Film Festival (while he was promoting Princess Mononoke). I went to the interview, watched him being interviewed by Roger Ebert in the hotel room, only to find out that they had cancelled my interview and neglected to inform me. So I never had my chance to ask him anything. If you ever have the chance to go to Japan, you have to go to the Ghibli Museum outside of Tokyo -- it's amazing. Aaron Very interesting story! That is awesome that you were given the chance to meet him and interview him, but I'm really sorry to hear that they cancelled it like that and that you never had the opportunity to do it! That's truly a shame! I've heard wonderful things about that Ghibli Museum! A friend of mine went there a year or two ago and had a lot of positive things to say about it, and he took some nice pictures of some of the things too! If I ever go to Japan, that is definitely something that I want to visit!
2/10/2016 Topic: Gilgandra's movies & TV series collection. Kairi Administrator	Gilgandra wrote: Some more of my collection, I think most people will have these but there are a couple that they are not as popular. LEXX 1-4, 1997 - 2002. One of the best Sci-Fi shows out there! Very odd, Dark & Cruel. (Not for kids Lol). Brilliant, Although it did start to lack towards the end. It would take a month of Sundays to explain what this is about. It also stars the stunning Xenia Seeberg. Babylon 5 1-5, 1994 - 98. My most recent addition to my collection, Not easy to find in Australia (was common years ago) Although not in a huge box like this one. Has everything, All the movie's & the underrated Crusade series. Only saw the odd episode in the day, I have many many hours of catching up on 90's T.V. goodness. Black Adder 1-4, 1983 - 89. Your either a fan or not & well i love it. How does one sum up the words to explain this series...I can't, But the "Wise Woman" might know! X-Files 1-10, 1993 - 2002. I still think this was the best T.V. series ever, Although not my personal favorite it is in my top 3. This set is like a huge book with oversize thick pages that has the disks in the sides. Includes the 2 movie's. Oh! by the way...This set weights a friggin' ton. Most Haunted early 1 - 7 series (still going i think) 2002 - Current. Whether you believe or not this was an entertaining series. The crew visited some beautiful places. Nice TV collection, Gil! The only one that I've seen out of those is Black Adder (I'm not really a TV person so I haven't seen much), but some of those sounds pretty interesting like Lexx. Those huge sets for Babylon and The X Files look awesome too!
2/10/2016 Topic: Deadpool movie Kairi Administrator	I am really excited for this movie!!!! I am a pretty big fan of Deadpool (he is one of my favorite characters), so I have been looking forward to this movie ever since I first heard about it. I am going to see this with my friend tomorrow (I turned her into a Deadpool fan! :P) and I can't wait to see it! Our theater was selling the tickets in advance, so about 5 minutes after they announced that the sales were open, we got our tickets for the earliest showing they had since we want to see it as soon as possible. XD I'm glad to hear that the movie is really good! I also agree about the marketing being excellent; I thought the Valentine's Day trailer was very interesting.

I enjoy being with my family (when we have time to be together), watching movies, hanging with friends, learning languages and traveling. I also enjoy hiking and camping. TEX I like languages too! Out of curiosity, which languages have you learned?

My girlfriend will be in town at the end of the month (Kairi likes Gil's movie thread), so I might not have the time, and I may also have other monetary priorities. On the plus side, she gets to be my lovely assistant at one of the shows. Yay! I can't wait to be there again! Yes, I do like that thread :P I look forward to getting to be an assistant at one of the shows! I'm sure it will be a lot of fun, and I am excited to go to one after not being able to for so long.
2/10/2016 Topic: head-rush/jokerbangedquinn back issues Kairi Administrator	Nice Star Wars Rocket variant!
3/17/2016 Topic: Sargon's Rubies of Life have returned Kairi Administrator	Nice posts, Sargon! I'm enjoying looking at all of your issues! Those Strange Sports covers are...strange. The one with the dinosaur keeps making me laugh!
3/17/2016 Topic: That Jerk's Stuff Kairi Administrator	You have some pretty cool signed stuff! As a huge Metallica fan, I think that signed album is extremely awesome! You are extremely lucky to have that!
3/17/2016 Topic: Gilgandra's movies & TV series collection. Kairi Administrator	Nice stuff as always! Reminds me that I need to add Coraline to my watch list; I've been meaning to watch that for a while (I think I have it; I'll have to check), but I just never got around to it. :/ I had no idea there was an anime version of Blade either!

The front page staff is aware of the issue. Sometimes adding features can take a long time, so when they do, you just have to be patient until it gets added. Just because one feature hasn't been added yet does not mean that no one is running the site. By the way, reporting your own post only alerts the forum administrators and moderators like me, who only have abilities in the forums. We are not able to do anything on the front page.
