I miss it though; it was a fun time. Like you said above, Liadan; there was a lot to be found there. There was also various forms of combat, T1/T2 etc a lot of these terms were defunct by the time 00's hit. Though at the same time- by that point it was long gone the days of yore as it were.
As for the forums; it was a lot of shiposting and cliquish crap. It's why I avoided them.
I remember T1/T2 and I wanna say there was a T3 but it was iffy and a lot of people didn't recognize it. Â And yeah, Yahoo basically destroyed it by getting rid of the Arts & Entertainment section. Â They probably had good reason, as the entire place was like a Chris Hanson sting on steriods. Â There were sooooooooo many underaged people in there cybering left, right, and sideways with adults. Â In fact, I seem to recall someone ending up going to jail because their character was involved with a character played by a 13 year old.
