What happened to BONGO?, by JockoLad on Sept 8, 2018 23:38:16 GMT 1, A very long time ago, BONGO was a key figure on this forum. Typing only in CAPITALS they injected some much needed humour as well as providing some interesting insight into the emerging urban art scene. They limited their contributions to 1000 posts and then deleted their account.
Who remembers BONGO?
Also, does anyone know anything about the person behind the monkey avatar?
Their posts were always a great read and I always felt there was more to them than they ever let on.

Those were the good ol' days. Long past and little referenced. The humour left when the money came in.
I met BONGO many years ago, an evening out of his pomme de tere. So many good, knowledgable people no longer involved, yet Jbay/Freerange still harping on. There must be a cockroach comparison there somewhere...

Nope. These sort of posts wind me up.
The money was always there, just need to look back to the days of beejoir shell prints etc.
Don't wear those fake glasses. They are all still here, they all still have internet connection.

What happened to BONGO?, by JockoLad on Sept 9, 2018 12:26:53 GMT 1, To be fair, the money was always there however not at the same levels. The community was also a lot smaller and therefore access to prints etc. was a lot easier to access.
Iโm glad someone referenced BONGOโs โpomme de terreโ - it always gave me a laugh when he chipped into conversations.
The recent Banksy postcard โreleaseโ got me to reminiscing. Iโll not lie, I really like a long winded thread on this forum that brings all sorts out of the woodwork. And yes, I was able to contact a friend who kindly visited the Museum and bought me a few. Thank you to everyone for the heads up.
Hereโs to the next 10+ years of the forum.

... I will admit that I have met a number of great forum members ... in the flesh ... so to speak ... but I do look quite different without my hat on ... a sort of disguise in reverse 
... my avatar tells you everything really
