Ray40 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I came here thinking it would be all graffiti discussion and I would meet people in my age group and older but I found out otherwise. Still I have learned so much from this forum and, despite the nasty stuff, I still would go on herr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I have learned so much from this forum and, despite the nasty stuff, I still would go on herr That's somewhat how it used to be. I hold out hope that people who are into graf but are disillusioned w/ social media might still find their way back here. To that end, everyone's participation here matters and is encouraged. From 12oz past I still have good friends that I met through here, people in other states/countries that I still get up with when we can. Also in the past week or so I've learned of several lurkers from different states that are watching my bench, hopefully we can get some of those types to log in/post. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 @Bojangles'sup fam? I think that a bunch of us remember green text 12oz with the chicken logo. 12oz is a really special place. It isn't just a site for writers to e-bench. Wonk llits saggin. #WolfWhales #HomoDungeon 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Pretty much no one should e-bench. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 @One Man Bannedim a straight fan of your benches. Every once in a while I catch something I was a part of in high school and after. Its crazy to see 20+ year old freights rolling and people still catching them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I cannot say how the rest of 12oz is doing with rap letters and people who do them as I haven’t checked in ages. Last few times I’ve popped into brick slayers it literally feels like turning on fm radio and I automatically exit because it’s that bad. I do not ever remember channel zero to be poppin with too many real writers though. I know it’s some heavy hitters in here and I have met a good many over the years though. @One Man Bannedseems to have slipped through the cracks on me though. I don’t remember you in these 12oz streets but I’m also terrible at brain memories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, enjoy the random pop-up in the bench. @NightmareOnElmStreet I've slipped through many cracks but never yours. I had an original SN that I only used for the graffercizing elements of the site. Back then I only came to the site for the graf. I had little appreciation for other socialization or discussion on here then because that was time that I could be rap lettering. I later had a SN for wandering throughout the site, it had about as many posts as you do now, but then I got banboozled by corporate 12oz. Lurked for a bit..... then returned as OMB. There is an issue w/ participation on here. Def more people who lurk but don't post, sign in, or create an account. The other day a homie sent me a screenshot of someone posting my bench pic of them on their IG and they gave me & 12oz a shout out. Funny too in that I don't use social so if homie hadn't caught it and sent it to me I never would have seen it or known. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 My cities (SF,SJ) used to pop off in Brick Slayers - not so much anymore. I used to have a different SN prior to Fat Ralphy. I remember when my homie first showed me 12oz - not long after its inception. Artcrimes was the other place to frequent just to lurk pics. Once you get the Channel Zero vibe......it just feels right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tails0nE Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Speaking of pies, me and my girl got hit yesterday with her daughter in the car.. dude behind us clearly wasnt paying attention or "trying to brake" as he said he was.. I'm guessing he was going the speed limit, wasnt looking at the traffic and hit us full force we even hit the lady in front of us.. thankfully both my girl and her daughter weren't seriously injured.. only injuries really is her forehead she has a bump on from either the steering wheel or the rearview mirror flying off and a tiny bruise on my elbow.. sucks cause my girl has anxiety as it is now shes even more terrified to drive.. but as long as were all not seriously injured it's all good.. So yeah that was fun... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's part of history. I started talking to her and Brett wayyyyyy back when. Susan was still in college in Georgia and Brett was about to graduate. I haven't spoken to her in a long time, though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a girl I went to highschool with get a $100k check with this one simple trick. Ive been praying for the day some one hits me and my wife while she's driving. Im shitting my pants and everything. Edited August 24, 2020 by mr.yuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked for her/AC while she was in Portland so we saw each other at least once a week, and would often meet up for dinner and a drink, but after she moved communication was sparse. That said, it sounded like the move was definitely a good one. Yes, Susan's contribution to worldwide Graffiti communication and education is unparalleled. Her commitment to helping writers make connections, participate in historical events, and share images from writers around the world... on an online platform that ANYONE can access, regardless of browser, makes her kind of the "mother" of Graffiti preservation. She is a kind soul who would do anything for anyone. And real, really real, real fucking smart. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
