There are a few of recruit or similar level who I haven't seen. A few other, older members (alas don't recall their usernames) who I haven't seen, though whether or not they left because of Craig I don't know. Might just want to scroll back a few pages and see if you recognize any names, who left, who still comes. Seems a bit silly if you ask me. Leaving just because Brosnan got the boot. Although now I must wonder, if tomorrow it were announced EON was dropping Daniel Craig and hiring a new, younger bloke to play James Bond, how many people would up and leave? How many for good?

[Daddy Bond]

I still think Brosnan will be back for one more!

I wouldn't leave, but I'd be mighty annoyed.

I wonder - now that he is settled into the role in the public consciousness, would people now buy the image at that press conference - particularly the longer hair?

Good point, Jim. Looking back at those photos, I think Daniel looks nervous and out of his depth. If I see him at a press conference or interview now, he looks a lot more self-assured and confident. I think that is more telling than the hairstyle.

Exactly four years today, is it?

Interesting that they announced it on Roger Moore's birthday.

Speaking for myself, yes.

Speaking for other people, yes.

Shouldn't that be typing? And ditto.

It was such an exciting time. I think the nearest we got to that time, was probably the Casino Royale teaser trailer release, the premiere of CR, and last year's Quantum of Solace trailer releases.

I'm a bit curious as to what it's going to be like next time round. Exciting, yes, especially for people like me, who never really followed Bond all that closely around the time this was happening. But will it be as exciting as this? I mean, when you look over all the actors people were suggesting...some of them are really out of left field. And Craig is definitely one of those left-field options. Fantastic choice though

Believe me, the huge buzz around Die Another Day was amazing too, in November 2002. Not only was this site very busy with lots of discussion and excitement, but British TV was full of all things Bond.

I've been around here long enough to know that DaveBond is right. The lead up to DAD was awesome. I remember when images leaked of a bearded Bond showed up on this site. Oooh the uproar that caused (not by everyone mind you) people were furious that Bond would be captured. No one wanted to see there favorite hero lose (it might have just been one person, but it was still interesting times.

Edit: I just noticed your sign up date DaveBond...did you post under a different alias back then?

Yes, JimmyBond, I registered under a different name, and by the time I returned in October 2005, I couldn't remember my previous log-in, so I registered again.
