Actually, I know that it appeared here first. Believe it or not I can read dates. I pointed out that it had made Jason's Original Prop Blog because it is the most respected movie prop site. Although it only made it on his Twitter and not the OPB main page, it's still important. People here may not know about the OPB but it is very very well known in the prop community. He has shut down some of the biggest ebay scammers.
You seem very upset that I pointed out the obvious. It was never my intention to upset you so personally.
Many people believe it is wrong for someone to join and/or read multiple forums only with the intention of using those members discoveries and information as their own. It also is not looked upon favorably to promote your site all over someone else's.
I never said you could or could not read dates, so I am not sure why you said that.
Are you a member of this person, Debord's forum and do you know him?
Who proclaimed his blog the "most respected movie prop site"?
As to your believing that the "OPB" is "very very well known in the prop community" I cannot affirm or deny that, as I only heard of it recently.
I do not believe that Mr. Debord individually has shut anyone "down" as you stated. He, and many others, have assisted Ebay in many instances. I too know people that have contacted Ebay questioning certain auctions.
From what I have gathered, this blogger has reported on other people's findings and information for many of his stories. Did he sometimes not ask permission to use their findings, pictures, or forum posts in his blog for those stories?
For example:
This "story" reported by the blogger here:
http://www.originalprop.com/blog/20...bilia-with-doctored-celebrity-signing-photos/
was from another site,:
http://live.autographmagazine.com/photo/albums/american-royal-arts-fake
The blogger used, without permission from the AM article writer, photos from their original story. Those photos were altered by adding the OPB logo color and font to them. Which seems to suggest they were created by the OPB blog.
That may not be "respectful" to the copyright owner and writer of the original story.
When contacted, the writer of the original story from autographmagazine said the OPB blog did not have, nor ask permission, to use the copyrighted photos. The AM site owner did not seem overly upset, but did mention those facts.
Mr. Debord joined the Yuku board, "Not Suitable For General Exhibition" as a member in Jan 2010. He made one post advertising links to his blog.
He remained silent for about a month ( 3 weeks, 2 days), then reported about a Dracula movie poster fraud.
Again, that information was gleaned from another forum located here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg33764.html
and the Yuku forum here:
http://stylec.yuku.com/topic/6364
You appear very angry and possibly personally involved:
Actually, I know that it appeared here first. Believe it or not I can read dates.

In the spirit of online discourse, my only intention was to make a few observations and not upset you.
