• I added an agora current events board to contain discussions of political and current events to that category. This was due to a increase support for a separate board for political talk.

POG general - Remember pogs? They're back on the Agora Forum

Did you know that "pogchamp" is taken from a screenshot of the guy who was the Pogs Champion? Very fitting I'd say.

i thought those were cool, the possibility of making trinkets of small guy images was very tempting, i wanted to own several ones before i started. Sadly for you they are mighty expensive soo i lost interest before it even started. Here is a cheap meme about how expensive pogs are.

Where are you buying pogs?? They're like £5/100 on ebay. Making them is so easy, you just need something round and roughly 41.37mm and a cutting knife and some glue.

Check this out - I made one from a brochure and an old diglet pokemon card just now.

Also coloured in a few of the prehistoric POGs.

This one had a metal slammer with Oj Simpson on it. It might have been holographic but it definitely had sawblade teeth. Shit was tight
There's no fuckin way. People were posting about that up the thread. You sure you're not having fabricated memories?

One got it from a relative that worked for a company that sold novelty garbage in gas stations (like really ugly sunglasses, mexican jumping beans and those roses in the glass tubes that crackheads used to buy to make crackpipes), If the thing is some kinda rare artifact, one likely had a cheaply made counterfeit rather than a legit treasure lol

Do you still have it? Did you play POGs with it? What are your memories of it?

no.
Did you play POGs with it?
yes.
What are your memories of it?
the thing was hefty, some kinda metal. nominally made to appear as a bronze or brass (or maybe a copper) but probably actually a cheap zinc alloy with a nugget of some heavier metal inside to provide the appearance of the previous. The thing was shaped like a saw blade. it might have had a holographic image, but that could be a confusion with other slammers one had. The thing was an image of OJ holding prison bars and said something like "innocent or guilty?" or something. again one, is remembering it as hologaphic so the mental recall is that the image appeared as a relief etch into the metal but that the depth was "below" the surface so the thing was smooth.

(one is refraining from looking the thing up til after it has tried to recall it by memory so one might come back and critique it's memories later)

Thanks for the links @Some_porcupine - I looked up the Pog event at Knott's Berry Farm and ended up coming across these videos scanned by @charteroaksscanning on Tiktok (their website).

I've ripped the vids in case users don't want to stream from Tiktok / the vids go down.


The Del Taco POGs are fucking rad (thanks again, milkcapmania).
