Aronious Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Just a comment: I saw the tv mini series "Tarnished Gold" last night. A show focusing on the termoil of the IOC selection process throughout the 90's and the SLC Scandal (Focusing on the Atlanta vs Athens hoax, Toronto08', Japan paying for the OLympic Museum in order to gain votes for Nagano and of course the SLC bribes) Towards the end (yes it was late, like say 2am) something came up on the screen that astounded me. Robert!. Everyone has probably seen this series before but i was shocked to see the Gamesbids.com (then Toronto Summer Games) was featured in such a film. btw- if you dont mind me commenting, lose the hair cut and change the speks (though i believe this film was made back in 1999).. trendy these may have been then.

Yes.. that was me. And it was a few years back too - the haircut is gone. Actually, we helped out a bit on the Toronto end of that production - setting up some of the contacts and recommending places and events to shoot. I'm sure if you dig around some more GB will pop up in other places too. Did you see that air on A&E? It was filmed as part of the "Investigative Reports" series on that network.

Aronious Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Nope it was late, but if i remember correctly it was aired on the History Channel.. one of Foxtels (Australias pay tv) many under glorified channels. Though a very informative report and overal great watching. Though when i heard the word Robert LIvingstone and then saw Toronto Summer Games on a computer screen i was so side tracked i forgot to listen to what you were saying. :wwww: :wwww: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Uh, GBMod, since when Moscow is going to host the World Track and Field Championships? That is held every 2 years with the following, starting this year: 2005 - Helsinki 2007 - Osaka 2009 - Berlin (which was "re-awarded" again) Also, the JUNIOR version (as you were saying in your last article), NEXT year's edition is in Beijing.

Los Angeles Guy Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 SOemone referred to the squares underneath some peoples names as "Naught squares". What are they really? and do people get them if they are bad? Can I give them our or just you, the GB mod? etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBModerator Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 BigDave - There are some places on the site that still need updating.

bigdavejb Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 BigDave - There are some places on the site that still need updating. Well it’s March now and still no link. If you are holding it back for some reason. I know you seem to be anti London at times but this is a bit childish if true. On to the point of this mail I have topic trackers running on a couple of topics and some threads and used to get e-mailed when a new post was posted. But I have stopped receiving the notification e-mails. At first I thought it was due to my topic trackers being timed out but when I selected track this topic I was told I was already tracking it. SO WHATS HAPPENNING TO MY E-MAIL NOTIFACTIONS PLEASE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethnalGreen Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hi Moderator!!!! I know that you have probably been asked this loads of times, but (I have looked through the boards but not seen an answer) how many posts do you need for each member level? Also, how many levels are there? Thanks and sorry to bother you BethnalGreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hello GBModerator, is it possible to reach "old thread" again? I think especially on our GB-contest about ESC and the chat-thread during the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest of last year.
