Well, you did surprise me a bit as I thought that Ian was on top of your list along with Colin. We largely agree overall, with the exception of the very first model on Broke Straight Boys-1, but we have decided to bury that hatchet, but I still like to needle you about it every once in a while, hell whenever I get the chance. Lol). And Blake was as you know the sweetest kid imaginable and whereas you’ve met several models over the years including Diesal, Damien & Paul, perhaps Tyler White and possibly others, my one experience was with Blake & Jason, (and Denver & Cole Gardner from College Dudes and of course Sha). But Blake & Jason were absolutely fantastic to hang with.You're pretty close to right for my choices Mikey. haha
Jay has given us a great list with some rather brutal choices for the top 3. haha Only because he knows that many of us like most of them very much.
I would go with Blake first. I would actually be honored to meet him in real life.
Second would be Ian. Third would be Kodi. Man that is tough to decide! It's like asking a parent to name their favorite child. haha You don't want to offend or be dismissive of the contributions of any of them. Fourth for me would be Bobby.
To speak of Bobby though I have to say that Bobby's contributions to the site were exceptional when he first arrived. Even though I put him last on this particular list, that's not a true reflection of my feelings for him. Bobby got here when Clay had first taken over as the new director from David. I was not happy at all with most of the first collection of new models hired to Broke Straight Boys-2. So much so that I even wondered if I would have to quit the site. Fortunately the forum is what kept me here as a paying member during the rough start to about the first 6 months of Broke Straight Boys-2. Bobby was an exceptional model of his time. His handsome face, beautiful body, along with his sense of humor and his personality, really drew me in from the start. So I'm grateful to him for that.
But Bobby was one of the saving graces in those lean early days of Broke Straight Boys-2. For me at least. He was one of the very few of the first new models who I could really rally around. Then we eventually got Colin, Kodi, Brandon Beal, Adam Baer, etc...and things really took off again.
It’s interesting that members who joined later or weren’t as into the forum as we’ve been since Day One that Mark gave us this forum, but it really was different back then. We knew all about each guy and they had definite personalities that we could relate to, whether positively or negatively. It is different today with only one scene a week and the majority of the guys having at least some experience with the adult industry or camming from home, prior to Broke Straight Boys David does a great job with his “getting to know”, and the before and after the scene interviews, but somehow it all seemed different in the days of the guys Jay put on this latest grouping.
One other point Tampa. You didn’t mention Flint. I’m sure you felt the same way as I did about him. Sweet, intelligent, engaging kid on the forum, but not cut out for porn. I wonder what he is doing today and highly doubt that anyone in his life today has any idea that for a brief moment, he was on a gay website. All of these guys bring back a flood of memories.
What’s next Jay? Bring it on! lol
