Geno, it's kinda good to see you type again. The last time we talked regularly was so long ago that I still had the default "UH-OH" as an alert sound on ICQ. I was a few years behind on computer knowledge, and I was using that time to familiarize myself with the net and computers in general.

It was a weird time to be online. The "Bubble" had not burst, anyone who could SPELL HTML could get a job, and anyone with money (or without) was throwing cash at startups.

Cyberslam was there at a real good time. Artega made some good money on a silly hobby and walked away when the bills came due.

Quint, you were a REAL pain in the ass. I was among one of the people who tried to help you. I tried to teach you how to respect other people in your roleplays, and you made me regret bothering.

Geno.. gotta say.. coming here and signing up for the abuse, AND adding something that sounds like a real apology.. shows that he HAS grown. You don't have to like him, you don't have to forgive the past if you don't feel like it.. but you gotta give him that one.

I wasn't the best at this hobby. I did it on my terms and that made it hard to excel at it. But as someone coming home from the Marines, Military acquaintances in other states, high schools friends completely vanished while I was away... it was a life saver. I got to tell stories and interact with people while I rebuilt my social life.

When I left the game, I knew the site was dying. I was damn angry about the way it was being done. Thing is... a decade and more has passed, and some of us still think about this silly little game we used to play.

Think about that..

You guys are the weird, mean and nasty to each other. You don't hold a CANDLE to the nastiness I've seen on other boards, but this aint a love fest!! I've been coming here for over a decade, and I'm not stopping anytime soon.

Let go of the bad shit, it's over. We survived the 90s together. Nice to hear from you guys.
