Can't say, don't care (Anymore).
This is a shared phone line (PC). The OWNER, got into a tiff over at SF some years ago, a Mod with a massive Ego trip then perma-banned him for 'Returning too soon' (There was NO 'Hour' listed, detailing when his muting was ending), so on a technicality, erased him entirely.
I'd heard about this when I first moved up here, made an accnt., and then started reading the Forum/Posts, only to get hammered myself, when 'I had done nothing wrong.
So be it.
Nothing of value was lost, imho.

couple authors there didn't really post anywhere else; raedwulf and tank jaeger
Maybe there's like discord and twitter and whatever else, but those sites all have a glow to them that I can't see past.

Dunno, the forum people treated me about as expected. Couple people were okay if not quite helpful, many people had those suicidal persecution complexes so common to the era, a couple were paranoid schizophrenics who figured I was someone else that had left years back.
Pretty representative of every old forum or message board. I eventually figured out what I was trying to figure out, then wandered off since it was pretty obvious that I was causing pain to those who were reporting every single post I made, rofl.

Yeah I didn't even know because I stopped caring about it. Reading stories there was very alright and it was the reason I was there but there are other websites for that with bigger communities like here.

Forum there was depressing and dead with roleplay dissapointing me at the end because I had to quit one RP because of gamemaster furious at me and disliking how I was roleplaying and so on and obviously I won't change for gamemaster and say "sorry" to stranger on the internet but will move on to something else.

It was nice to be there for a while but I have no feelings for that website and it was obvious it was destined to die.

It just sucks how.... infectious it is. Programming people to hate themselves just spreads through a community like nothing else.
