Yes, even those folks that were part of the huge flame war when I was at TotalCon (the year I learned to bring a laptop with me) and couldn't read the boards. I came back to find the site locked down and lawsuits being threatened.

The old-timers remember the Queen midi I had playing when you went to the site. The old sorta metallic gray/black background with the lime green links. It wasn't the prettiest of sites, but then again, I did always have those cool pictures when the page loaded. The battle armor scans, etc.

I can't really say what attracted people to the site. At the time I had a complete novels list that was ordered chronologically. A lot of people came just for that. I had monthly quizes/contests (which I plan on bringing back) that a lot of people participated in. In general, I think people just saw a place run by a guy who loved the game as much as they did.

Does anyone here remember the time when the board was run by ghosts. I didn't post in what was probably over a year. I remember reading posts and people were asking if anyone has ever seen me before. There were rumors that I didn't actually exist. Kinda humorous. And more of you remember the time Mordel's was down for quite a while. Many of you simply posted on the temp board until mine was back up. I never knew such loyalty until then.

Yeah, give me an update! I know that Cadet had some huge personal problems, and pretty much broke with BT et al.

But what else happened during the last year? What ever happened to Camille? Wasn't she almost semi-official (the "Godmom") back in the FASA days? She was always rather unpleasant on these boards, but what happened?

Wasn't there another semi-FASA person, Nadin?

But main question: Where is Raven?!? He was one of the main-stays when I dropped out for a while, and always going strong....

Mordel and Chihawk - would you ever consider putting up an interactive PBeM again, as featured on Mordel's first site? I really, really loved how the map was basically interactive, and one just submitted the moves on the page....

Any posts that mention the name of people that don't post here any longer in a negative way will be deleted. In other words, "let sleeping dogs lie".

If anyone has an issue with this you're welcomed to send me a PM about it.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programing, already in progress.

Largely what I've noticed is a lot of old timers just end up drifting away. Old Dog was around for a while but I never see any posts by him anymore. Posts by Ruger are becoming a rarity. I haven't seen Karagin in a while. It's too bad, because our community was better with those people around.
